While I dont think he is broken anymore, I do think genji players are overreacting to these nerfs and I think he is still fine

There is still less CC and only 1 tank that can stop him

Should be interesting what Dive nerfs, or AntiDive buffs devs come up with next.

Cause they aren’t going to stop, until they get a lot more Support players.

Problem is low ranks, its so easy to just spam right click and hit shift to get tons of value, its why junkrat is so broken in low ranks too.

Yeah, his wall-climb and double-jump should get a 3 seconds CD and just like Fan the hammer, his R-click should not be able to headshot. Oh and maybe he should have 150HP like Tracer while we’re at it.

You know what, I think Genji should be a tank like Doomfist at this point

Make him do no damage and instead of a sword for an ult its a pool noodle that does 2 dmg

Genji is only good at punishing mistakes. In highrank he’s B tier maybe even a C because he cant really do much against a good team even if the genji is a GM.

But he is never punished for his mistakes. A problem, no?

Genji is the most punishable diver, no? If he uses dash on a target that’s above 80hp it’s a mistake and he is very easy to punish unlike Tracer

So what? Just throw a right click, get a kill and regain your dash. Jump over the target spamming right click, easy peasy. Works in mid diamond at least. But most punishable out of 3 heroes is not huge tbh.

Your problem is only when you dash on a target and they are instantly healed back to full.

He’s very much punished for his mistakes, more so than many others. If he fails a kill his dash does not reset and then he is an easy target. If he uses his deflect at the wrong time he’s dead because then he’s an easy target. His ult is also the easiest to fail at and if he do, he’s most likely dead.
I can climb with reaper no problem might have a beer while doing so. But climbing with genji now is actually hard.

Compare it to sojourn, she can also instakill but from a safe distance, she has high damage and crowd control. And even a get away ability on short coldown.
After this nerf the best genjis that exists actually has to switch.

Yeah, but the rest 99% of the players don’t, so that’s ok with me.

Have you tried playing genji? He’s really not easy. Im better at phara, soldier and hanzo but ive tried really hard to git gud at genji

the new and upcoming tank is anti-dive with his gravity ability.

If you stand still when Genjis diving you, you are minimizing the time to eliminate so it’s your fault for letting him get you. Every hero has at least 1 ability to mess up his combo

And when you’re out of position with <50-80hp, it’s expected that you get punished by Genji, but you will complain about him being unpunishable regardless

Meaning they have to buff genji again. Genji were already shifting away from the meta before this nerf. Theyve always balanced from the top down before but i really cant understand how they balance now

My most played heroes are mccree, soldier and ball, and i find genji much easier to do well with

  1. There is no risk to anything you do. Even if you mess up ALL your abilities he is the hardest hero to hit naturally. Actually he is the safest hero to mess up everything with.

  2. None of his abilities require precise aim.

  3. He does way easier and higher damage at close range with right click than many others. Not reaper ofc.

  4. He has the best DPS ult for most situations.

  5. His deflect hitbox is broken and punishes even shots from the side. His dash damages people that didnt even touch your model.

Really, what IS there that makes it hard? You don’t have to be good at anything to survive or get kills, at worst you will not be much help to the team.

All this in low diamond. I don’t know what happens in GM
