Genji nerfs confirmed by Jeff

All I ask is please, just revert the primary fire buffs and extra deflect time buff. Don’t make things more complicated than it has to be by butchering something else in his kit. All he ever needed was the deflect cancel buff I think they can revert everything else.

That ‘failed’ experiment. I love that they’re giving us chances to try them. that’s cool to have a gimmicky mode for a week even if they juste accidentally gutted a character lol

A yes minor changes to the dps thats dominating the game and changes coming to one of his counters,most likely nerfs.

For the Moira changes I just think she needs to have more mechanical input but get rewarded more for it. Like maybe reducing the hitbox but give her more resource gain. And make the orb manually detonate for AoE healing or damage.

I don’t think nerfs.

They would explicitly say “we are nerfing Moira” if they were planning to do so, I think

doesnt this thread already exist or are they seperate

“Minor toning down”
Genji literally topping every other DPS in stats and they want to “minorly” tone him down. Symmetra barely hits 3.5% pickrate for like two weeks and gets two patches of nerfs just to make sure she’s dead. Wow.

Be glad they’re toning him down in the first place honestly.

Lol ‘minor’ toning down could they scream “We have extreme bias” any harder? Every mode has Genji everywhere but they want to give him a tuk tuk slap on the wrist.

I don’t think it will be a nerf, but rather a change, like what they tried to do with Moira before, it would probably be a power shift or a change to a game mechanic, if they were going to nerf her they would probably say we are going to nerf Moira like they said that they are going to nerf genji.

Well… at least it’s something. Although it would have been hard to ignore his current balance issues. I just hope they don’t butcher Moira to compensate.

Moira is going to get nerfed more than genji, calling it now.

Well of course Genji and Tracer are poster children and it doesn’t matter that their hyper mobility and bloated kits is why the game went topsey turvy with Brig release to deal with them. They are going to be in no matter what.

That would be an interesting way to keep the Genji players happy…

It’s a 5% increase to his ult charge just to shut us, I call it from now.

Heroes with a pickrate of 2% got nerfed with the sledgehammer, while Genji, who has the highest pickrate ever recorded amond the damage heroes, will get “some minor toning down”… m’kay.

Genji definitely doesn’t have the highest DPS pick rate recorded.

It’s high, but I’ve seen way worse

I may be wrong, but I never saw a DPS hero with 9% pickrate.
