Genji nerf Was fine and maybe not needed

General Discussion

Now this is A forum unpopular opinion. Most people I talk to to Think genji is just fine the way he is. while theyre is a few who want deflect hitbox nerfed it was a lot less prevalent to the people i talked to. They just added two hard counters to him. Moira and Bridgette. Which his deflect doesnt effect them as it does everyone else not to mention. imagine genji vs brigette moira and winston.
In any case this nerf is undeserved like the zenyatta nerf is undesrved in my opinion.

Is not even a nerf, is more like a Fix.

The hitbox was HUGE

The hitbox being huge was a little over exaggerated. ive tested it. It goes slightly to the side of deflect but not as much as people keep saying.

He can literally defect through walls and behind him and good ways in front of him the damn thing is big “the hitbox being huge” is far from being exaggerated

Actually it does nto deflect behind him as I have shot him int he back many times while hes deflecting. Thsi si an exaggerated myth perpatuated by those who just don’t like genji. and no he cant deflect through walls either.

There isn’t even that much exaggeration.
It sticks out in front of him about 2-3m, and wraps around him about 270 degrees.
Unless you shoot directly from the back, he deflects it.
From the front view, it is about 2-3m to the left and right of genji. versus the visual which sticks about 1m out to the left and right of genji.

There are plenty of videos showing how far it stretches and how little the animation does to represent it.
This is not a nerf, it is a fix to something that never should have been in game

Pretty sure its been fixed but still.

Also when i say shooting him from behind i dont mean dead on more of an angle were it looks like it should hit but it doesnt

If its been fixed then its been fixed that was just a bug You can’t complain about something thats already been fixed and demand a nerf.

Genjis deflect doesnt deflect directly behind him

But he does deflect at a certain angle on his sides I would say arround 45° as an estimation on the sides for deflect

No ones demanding a nerf… its not even a nerf its a fix

Yeah, Genji is just fine with a deflect hitbox the size of Reinhardt’s shield barier. Completely fine.

Here we have the salty sombra main who liked having an overpowered hacked that would hack you through walls. and when you leave los.

Genji, Genji… He’s Our man, If he can’t do it…

GREAT.

(Extra points for understanding the reference)

And yea, It’s not a “Nerf” It’s a “FIX”.

Here are the over exaggerations Its not that big it goes slightly to the right of it but not that much.

Here is the? What? I’m not exaggerating, much. While the size isn’t perfectly the size, it’s almost as big. The hitbox reaches further than the tip of his sword if his arm was fully extended. There are videos talking about this. Have you never been to youtube?

Actually it doesn’t even reach that it reaches slightly to the side Ive already tested this. it does nt even extend to the tip of his sword its not that close.Not that close at all.

Please enlighten me :kissing_heart: all I said that these changes are

“fixes, not a nerf”

I find it funny that you called me a “salty Sombra Main” but indeed I adapted to the changes with 0 complaints, but since we are on that topic.

Hack is nowhere near ‘Overpowered’ it is oppressive, but not overpowered.

Hack LoS has been changed, therefore your remark comment about “go through walls” is simply invalid.

Same applies to the “leave LoS”

As of right now, hack is bugged. but that is beyond the point.
