Genji mains explain this:

Yesterday OWL games have shown that genji can perform perfectly (even broken) without ANY BUFFS. the buffs are not even on OWL live. and the genji player destroyed the whole team and farmed ult within less than 30 sec.

as dps mains always say: the game should be balanced around the best player

now that the best player has shown what genji is capable of, he did not deserve ANY of those buffs.

if you say: genji needed the buffs, then this OWL player shows you you are wrong BY YOUR OWN ARGUMENTS.

@devs: take your embarassment and revert all the buffs he got !

The devs should definetely not listen to this forum when it comes to Genji because people like this exist:

ā€œremove dash reset from ultimateā€ so make his ult impossible, ok

why should he get so an impactful ult in first place when he has an excellent midfight performance now?

His ultimate is only as good as the player is because it takes a lot of skill to perform it well. People who say, ā€œI’m not even a Genji player and I got a septuple kill with the ult!ā€ are providing anecdotal evidence that does not help their argument whatsoever.

I think he meant the very first dash reset he gets when he activates dragon blade which allows him to dash up, ult and dash again instantly. I don’t think removing that would make his ult impossible.

You are providing anecdotal evidence on why the entire forum should be ignored.

Ah yes, the tried and true logic of ā€˜Ignore everything because one person said something stupid. That’s the ticket!’ - Gotta love it.

This is just one of the many examples of people on this forum. The only person that I’ve seen actively making good inputs on stuff like this is GreyFalcon or whatever their name is.

This is correct. The Summer Showdown tourney weekend was with the Genji buffs, but without the Brig nerfs, so the buffed Genjis also had extra armor that let them get away with a lot.

I remember when everything was balanced around tracer. Is that not the case anymore?

Tracer was meta for the month before.

The balance patches are basically monthly now.

Oh please. Genji’s ult is better in unskilled hands than most DPS heroes ults are in skilled hands. It’s a very good ult, one of the best in the game.

I’m just pointing out how silly it is to say that, on a public forum where anyone can post anything, you should be able to dismiss the entire content of the forums BECAUSE someone can post anything anywhere. Like do you not see what an insane logical loophole you’re making with that kind of sentiment?

You should say something that actually braces your argument, rather than something that is, in and of itself, self defeating. It’s an old pet peeve of mine but dang is it obnoxious when I spot it lol.

It’s a public forum, you could write a post about how Genji is literally the next messiah and will turn us all into peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. That’s my point.

Then what about real evidence? Genji averages over 6 blade kills per match in GM, with most other dps averaging around 4 ult kills or less. If Genji is going to not be an ult bot, he should not retain his ult bot stats while having better normal stats

Yes, it is one of the best ultimates in the game because of the impact it can result in. However, the ultimate still takes skill, especially when it is a nanoblade during a support defensive ultimate. You need to have a lot of practice with the nanoblade to get kills through trans.

Oh, smart guy. What dps has an ult better than Genji?

Sombra, who counterbalances it by being the worst hero in the entire game, and possibly Echo. That’s it.

does not take much skill… i played him and already killed 3 people with it without even having more than 20hours of genji in 4 years of the game.

Anecdotal evidence has been spotted.

you cannot provide any better and keep ignoring the hard facts that other people already posted.
