Genji shouldn’t be nerfed

I’m not saying this as a genji main but just as a an average overwatch player. He’s a high skill high reward hero and if you don’t know how to use his blade well enough when nanoed you can die easily and it will be trash. Brigette, Moria, Orisa, a good Ana or mccree can easily shut genji down as well as Hammond with his ult.

Are people asking for nerfs for him? He seems more than fine.

I don’t think anyone wants to nerf him, the last thing i saw was his deflect to match the animation and that’s fixed already, he’s balanced.

It’s a bit of a topic I can see in the future becoming a bigger thread sooner or later.

I’m always ready to hop in the Genji Nerfwagon.

I mean, I don’t even like Genji and I can agree that he doesn’t need a nerf. :man_shrugging:

His deflect hitbox being fixed was a major thing that helped him feel better.

I dont think Genji needs a nerf but if that is your argument, you have no idea what balance means.

True story:
I played my FIRST ever qp game with genji. My aim is very bad and I didn’t hit anything. I got my ult mainly through time-charge and luck.
Then I ulted.
I killed 4 people, just spamming LM and shift (no grav, nano or something, I was alone accually)
I got POTG…

Guess I am a very skilled Genji player

Yeah I hate genji 100% but he’s in a balanced place rn

Tell me then my friend, with 137 hours on him, how he’s not balanced. I can get flashbanged by mccree when deflecting now and more. What’s balance to you?

Yeah just wait and more and more “nerf blade” threads will pop up. We are already starting to get nerf Ana threads, once people are over that they will move to the other half of the nanoblade equation.

Genji is fine though. Already been nerfed countless times. What I wouldn’t give to see what vanilla Genji could do in today’s game.

I am always up for a good Genji nerf. Give him the Mercy treatment as far as I am concerned. Nerf him into the ground!

I mean I’ve seen a couple of threads angry about Nanoblade, but did anyone actually support that?

Don’t worry. The hate seems more directed at Ana than Genji. You’re safe…

For now.

I hate most Genji mains, but I don’t hate Genji. Imo, he’s right where he should be right now. He has hard counters and requires real skill to play.

Just a shame so many of the guys that main him are punks. Er, not including you, OP. I’m sure you’re a swell person.

Why?? Or is this a joke

Genji may be annoying, but he doesn’t need nerfs (or buffs). He’s balanced.

Mercy treatment lol.

Blizzard would never allow a dps hero to have 99% pick rate for even one week, much less a few months.

how well genji does depends on his team, hard to play, has plenty of counters, mistake is easily punished

doesn’t seem like he needs a nerf

Why yall worried about the mob coming for Genji? Ever since his Deflect hitbox got fixed I think 99% of people agree that he’s perfectly balanced. Yall in Zen territory where no one wants changes now, welcome.

He is totally balanced because now we have Brigitte, but if them still nerfing her, I think Genji will be overpowered
