Genji's deflect "fix" was actually a NERF

It would have been a “Fix” if they had made the animation match the hitbox, not the other way around.

Ill agree, it had to be fixed. But, not to be nerfed.

The hitbox was stupid beyond reason. It had to be made smaller.

Smaller meaning that Moira orbs can just go through it? That flashbang can stun you when thrown almsat directly at you? To be hit through the animation from an agle that clearly should have been blocked?

Lil late to the party eh. And related to your statement. No, it’s not a nerf. It didn’t hurt him in any way.

They reduced deflect’s power, how on earth is that not a nerf ?

Though agreed ,OP is a bit late to the party.

It tweaked the size very minorly. Let’s say it’s a minor nerf and get this over with.

Pretty sure having a smaller hitbox translates to deflecting fewer thing. Which ia indeed a nerf. It doesnt matter if it makes as much of a differemxe or mot bur it still a nerf.

If Moira orbs pass through deflect then thats a bug. A McCree not aiming directly at you and hitting with flash is working as intended. They wanted him to be anti flank.

Every hero in this god damn game is supposed to be anti flank all of a sudden. Also, no, Flash should not pass through deflect.

It doesnt pass through deflect. It flashes outside of its hitbox and stuns him with splash.

Except it doesn’t deflect less, or more. The previous version only caught bullets because of how hitboxes work, so they made it smaller and follows the model more tightly.

It happens ocasionally. Maybe its a rubberbanding issue?

If its thrown directly at deflect and doesnt get deflected then its a bug. Has nothing to do with hitboxes.

Genji mains are the worst… They slightly touch him and people get so angry… No wonder blizzard wont fix a hero with an OP kit… They are afraid of the backlash

Because it doesn’t? You either deflect it because the projectile get in contact with the deflect hitbox or the Genji getting flashed because the flashbang explodes and the Genji’s hitbox gets caught within the flash’s exploding radius.

Lol… Ok the hero with the most get out of jail free cards in the game… Ability resets if you tickle them…

I want dash to be punished more… making him have to do 50% if the damage if it resets… Its a bogus tool… Lets give tracer every time she tickles someone she gets a reset on her blink… look at all the tears that it would cause. Tracer cant move in a 3d motion. Genji can. He needs to be tonned down and thats my opinion
