genji nerf that raise his skill floor without making him feels bad
im a 800 hours genji main, u can check my profile

revert or even nerf even more his ammo
all burst mobile / non mobile hero had limited ammo in their gun:
tracer: she dump her clip in 1 sec, and need 1 sec reload after that
doom: 4 shoot and need to reload for 2.6 sec for full ammo
reaper: 8 shoot limited at close range
even torb only had 6 shoots if using RMB

so reverting his ammo from 30 to 24 would do alot, even further to 21
it means:
less spamming
less shield break
missing shoot are more punished
this will punish alot of genji that relies on RMB Spam
his reload are one of the slowest reload

with 21 ammo, how genji approach his target:

  1. poke 1-3 LMB/RMB, if your target now 60% or half, dash in, and try to finish before u run out of ammo
  2. if your poke need 4 LMB/RMB, unless your target are very low, u cant dash without risking your self, because u had only 3 RMB left, if miss that shoot u had to reload which resulting your target run away / healed or even worse u died

that and maybe increased 10% ult charge if not enough

i feel like what genji needs right now is probably 15% more ult charge (due to the new damage) and revert the spread and he should be Ok.

increasing his damage makes sense, but his firerate, ammo, damage and spread all together is a tad too much

This, when they buffed his damage they should’ve nerfed his ult charge rate in the same patch. He just gets blades too quickly.

If he had 30 damage per shuriken and the old firerate he would still be garbage because his combo is either a one shot or the target lives and kill him.
