As long as Genji’s Utimate lacks counters, there is no need for him to get buffed. Especially with Nanoblade around. Perhaps he should be reworked, but honestly I dont think this is necessary. He is in an ok spot.
The problem is that most Genji mains are kinda…special. They play a (in their view) high skill hero and keep losing to a (in their view) low skill hero (Symmetra, Moira, Winston) and they feel like a boy who worked hard to get a Laptop while some other kids just got it as a gift and he hates them for that. What they forget is that they could’ve had this gift too, but instead they WANTED to work for it.
The Laptop is gold rank.

Yes. Even at 3000. Even 3500. He is decent. You cannot honestly tell me genji past 3000 fails to kill absolutely everything and dies to absolutely everything. He doesn’t. He can function. Therefore is decent. But when I say decent, I mean he is a functional character who can occasionally get the job done. He is outclassed by everything and holds no candle to anything else.

There is still A LOT. There’s some bum named Jaeger ( however u spell his tag ) running around since yesterday spamming threads about how moira shouldn’t be a genji counter because " MuHh SkiLlZ " and she’s the reason he’s not playable. He literally gets on threads and bashes anything about moira etc. These forums were a mistake along with thr majority of this player base.

nah, just a lot of things and his kit is garbo.
I am usually diamond, no idea what is happening this season. My tank/support are boosted. So my average is unironically lower, but I played Genji fine in diamond. Just as most Genji do, statistically.
But the fact that I am trash has nothing to do with the fact that Cavalry is garbage. Homie struggled to hit GM with his one hero.
Unlike 2000. at mid high diamond healers heals, sounds crazy isn’t it ?
lets says genji lands his 3 shurikens, 1 was headshot, 2 bodyshot. that deals 112 dmg. alright, time to get closer, dash+fan should be enought?
well no, enemy ana already healed his teammate, and when you get closer uses her grenade. now who has the advantage ?
You get punished for getting too close to enemy team. That’s why hanzo was meta, to shoot at distance.
That’s why mei mccree are meta, to no get close.
genji is trash man, sorry

There can always be more than one factor. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Moira isn’t a big part of the reason, just that there’s others to blame as well as her.
Jack of all trades? Sounds like the s76 of flankers lol.
No one, actually. Grenade is the strongest non-ult in the entire game. Genji now has to leave, but she can’t instantly win fights by nading your team.
Yeah. The hero pools in both league and comp have shown me that Genji, Mercy, Sigma, and Pharah are not okay. Those 4 need buffs and it’s more than just not being favored by meta.

No one ever said Genji is unplayable because of Moira. Just that specific match up is stupid.

More than just Koreans should be able to play Genji. When we’re saying things like GMs can’t even play the hero in metas that should favor them because they aren’t good enough, then the effort needed is too high and there is a problem.

When I first played I could not kill a Genji. All the years of raging and playing Symmetra helped me improve my aim enough to kill him more reliably!

Sombra, Soldier, and Tracer all instantly became viable in league with high healing when Widow, McCree, and Rein were banned. Soldier became the best dps against Brig.
Burst is too safe and reliable. Heroes like Soldier can thrive when that’s not the case if the burst isn’t that way.
Genji still struggled but most of the other dps were fine

Who ever said Moira specifically is the reason Genji is struggling?
Sorry I meant to say “by no means” not “be no means”
Meaning he isn’t the weakest hero in the game.
A lot of people say that Genji is hard countered by Moira, which is why he’s never used.

Are we actually going to sit here and say genji is not countered by Moira. Because he is. Which makes Moira a problem for genji. Doesn’t mean it needs changes but, genji does have an issue with Moira.

You only see lower ranks Genji complaining about Moira. Only thing i complain about her is as a multi role player that her healing is not healthy for the game. other than that i by no means have issues with her, but i do have issues with Moira mains that say Genji is fine which isn’t your case.

I guess you’re right, It’s just whenever I see tons of complaints, it’s quite a lot of the time a Genji player who claim she is super broken and needs nerf.
I don’t think Genji is in a bad/good place though, he’s just meh. Like if it’s not working and you carry on and don’t switch… but then you also get those games where he is the best thing ever.

yes, only when they were banned, but all 3 of them are never going to banned at the same time in normal comp.
Soldier has range atleast so hes not going to die to a moira succ or a brig stun, so im assuming thats why he was played, but he still barely gets played compared to the actual burst dps.
