Hahahaha nope. It’s literally why they are nerfing him. Metal ranks really need to get their head straight about this. You are nothing special for playing genji and genji OTP advancing 200-400 SR in their peak this seasons was ju a coincidence right? Genji is so pathetically easy to get value from and there is nothing except a better player to punish you and even than you have an inherent advantage due to how much better genji is, not to mention the natural power that comes with high mobility in low ranks. He is like a phara for low ranks now without any stubs to punish him. Yet OTP lowbues like yourself live in lalala land believing he is actually hard? Hahahaha. I could win every game as pharmacy in metal ranks and be all like “phara is the most difficult hero in the game to play coz no one in metal ranks knows how to play hitscan”.
The difference with genji is you have the same advatanfe even in high ranks. You can’t just pick hitscan, the counter to genjis bloated kit has been removed from the game.
I keep seeing some who say Genji shouldn’t receive these nerfs, bring up breakpoints. Which breakpoints are you/they talking about? Do you know which breakpoint(s) youre even talking about or against which heroes? For example, unboosted, his M2 can kill standard 200hp hero from full hp instantly just by adding in a melee or a 250hp hero from full hp instantly with the full dash-M2-melee combo.
Which boosted or unboosted breakpoints are you refering to? (Besides the 1 extra shuriken on discorded 200hp targets)
This argument can be used for every pick and does not hold water… it goes without saying people who dedicate more time into a character are going to be better with said character.
For many people who are on the better half of Genji for there skill Rank have far more oppressive impact than others.
What do you legit expect when you drop the dumbest thing possible. Wall climb has nothing to do with hitting the genji or not, it’s the mobility aspect of it that is strong. It’s legit I get it you are mental rank, but you would still expect some knowledge of the game and value of positioning.
Healing that heals through nothing and a sprint that is semi useful, but at the same time locks you out from most other things and does not really allow you to escape anyways. Yea, genjis wall climb and base ms increase pls instead.
Definitely. But in overwatch we have counters as well. Part of the balance in the game, genji currently only has advantages vs other characters and no real weaknesses.
His nerfs are well deserved. Too harsh? We’ll see, they could have started with 1 dmg and worked their way down. No reason for him to be a god regardless when he is so easy to play.
Yeah, you’re saying it. Genji ONETRICKS, people who have spent lots of time learning the character and mastering his mobility and kit. People who don’t play genji, like myself, would do literally nothing except feed all game if we played him rn.
Yes, i, who doesn’t play genji AT ALL, thinks he’s hard because only people who have lots of experience with him can actually pop off on him, whereas even i can get value out of soldier from picking him ONCE. Got visor in literally under a minute lmfao what a joke of a character
Easiest*
How did you mess that logic up??
Yes because he is hard to play and hard to master. What’s so hard to understand about that lmfao
He’s a high skill character, therefore he gets the same high value when someone who actually understands the character and is good at him plays him.
Well congrats? You do not really give any vibes of being GM thou so still huge doubt and if it ain’t on PC I would care even less.
Soujourn is worse to fight? She is overpowered idd but there is nothing I can do about being hs oneshoot. Does not feel worse at all. Sombra is definitely on the same scale but two wrong does not make one right regardless.
So? Does not explain why they magically got 200-400 more SR than their previous peak.
I never fed on him with minimal experience, my teams are kinda feedy at times thou, especially when I had to grind through the lower ranks at release. Dafran dumping all over the genji one tricks now and than mirroring them is funny as hell as well. So much for being “better” on the hero.
Jupp every trash hero is just easier to play than genji and no matter which hero it is you just “master them”. I mean I love when people mirror me regardless of what trash hero I play and thinking its the “hero”.
Messed what up? People believe genji is hardest most difficult hero in the game, I presented the exact same logic. No one can hit a panda in low ranks so it’s good be YOU as a phara player that is a god not the hero just being good right? Genji plays by the same rules, but is even better… people can’t hit due to his kit and mobility but people miss take it for them being good and the hero being difficult which is a complete fabrication, but whatever gets their ego going I guess. Luckily for once the devs have a foot in reality.
Only thing actually true, yet far from the top in terms of ceiling. Everyone can play him and be more effective than weaker heroes they spent more time on.
Nah. Let’s nerf to the ground Genji, Sombra, etc. Then, when they are considered throw picks - let’s nerf even more heroes. And let’s then flame on anyone for not picking META heroes that somehow escaped nerf. That is the Blizzard way!
Coz stating how overpowered heroes work in this game is delusional? Okay there buddy you must truly understand a lot about the game.
I lived through Ana or lose, I have seen mercy or lose, brig or lose, sniper Cree or lose, release sigma, echo, doom 3x(lol) even if his first and second phase were the most outrageous still OP 3x. Genjis 1 week joke phase(damn were they high with those buffs). When a hero is overpowered they become better than everything else and playing them guarantees more value than anything else even if you spent more time on other heroes. It is just how the game works. Always have, always will be.
Always chose overpowered heroes if there are any. Meta heroes are great, but won’t net you more than 100-200. Overpowered ones give 200-1000 SR. Sometimes more.
Orisa would like a word. Would some people say shes more annoying to play against than old orisa shieldbot with halt? Maybe. Would most, if not all, Orisa players say shes more fun to play now? Definitely.
Sometimes characters need reworks. Sometimes its a hit, sometimes its a miss.
