First problem: you get first perk after first ult, so you can’t get value out of your first perk until after you ult.
Second problem: these perks are completely garbage compared to literally every single other hero.
I understand that genji is strong when your team is strong and you have zero chance of losing, but there’s no excuse for the state of balance he’s in anymore. There already wasn’t, but the perks make it absolutely abhorrent.
Talking about genji am I going crazy or is his double jump changed/bugged? It seems like it moves your camera in a very obnoxious way driving me crazy.
I don’t notice anything with doublejump but honestly, this patch has killed genji as a hero. You are punished so heavily for swapping heroes on top of his perks being complete garbage, it’s impossible to get away with playing genji now.
A game where heroes are balanced around swapping, and a hero where you can be hard countered 1000 ways just by another hero existing, it’s a throw pick to play genji now.
What a joke.
You can get your first perk before an ult, it just takes a while…
Also one of both hog and rats perks are to throw traps further 2 forms of self heal is considerably better than that
Then you look at the other choices for roadhog and junkrat, and your statement means nothing.
I don’t see how you could get your first perk before an ult unless you’re doing absolutely nothing on genji. I got ult before it every game I played and I was getting stomped in all of the games.
25 healing over time during deflect is absolutely useless, and the self healing from dragonblade attacks is also useless in comparison to every other perk.
The biggest problem is how much genji specifically gets punished by the nature of perks and how easy and consistently he gets hard countered.
At least they’re going to have to buff the hell out of him going forward. He’s absolutely not a viable hero anymore.
Get your ult and then wait until you get the perk before ulting
It’s not… At all that’s 25 healing per second while you can’t get hit by anything
Or just make it so perks happen before ults if the hero’s power is tied to perks. I don’t see how you can defend this and act like it’s not a major problem. Genji has to ult if he gets the conditions to ult or else he loses so much value.
Because I just got rolled by a genji that got ult basically every fight and no one could kill him because he had so much healing stacked up on him. especially when he got nanoed.
Genji mains always claim he is bad and he never has been.
Okay sounds like you’re the expert since you got stomped once by a genji on a team that was outplaying yours.
Like I said, genji is always going to be extremely strong in one sided matches. That’s not an excuse to make him a bad hero.
