Genji's Deflect is too good vs stream hitscan

General Discussion
103

The first each bullet does 7 damage to armour, 12 damage to non-armour so 15 bullets remove all the armour and reduce Bastion to 195HP then the remaining 9 bullets reduce Bastion to 87HP.

Does ironclad reduce damage like 15 * 0.8 or 15/1.2? I’ve always assumed it was the later.

So my assumption was 7.5 damage to armor, 12.5 damage to non-armor. So 14 shots = 105 damage. 195 hp remaining. Then 10 * 12.5 damage = 70 hp remaining.

Either way, yeah, like I said it would pretty much instantly kill the bastion.

Best way to do it is with 2 computers and 2 accounts. Then time a macro to shoot for exactly X seconds and press deflect at the exact same time to see how much damage Genji takes vs. how much damage Bastion takes.

Armour calculations are always done LAST.

So damage reduction reduces each bullet to 12 damage then “is it more than 10 damage? Then remove 5, if 10 or below then multiply by 0.5”

I have a computer, you have a computer.

We don’t need to synchronise anything, we can just compare a discrepancy from each perspective.

For example, if my perspective shows I only shot into deflect for 0.2 sec but you saw me shoot into it for much longer that is the discrepancy.

105

Sure, let’s do it. You got recording software?

106

Yeah. Err, how do we get in the same custom game?

I’m in EU region.

107

I sent you a friend request already.

You can log into the NA server through the launcher, or I can go to the EU server.

108

Oh god yes. I was watching an Ashe shot that my bro swore he hit but did no damage. Sure enough the replay showed it hitting them and doing no damage from his perspective. However, when we viewed the recording from different people and switched to free floating camera, sometimes the bullet hit, other times it didn’t 0_o

How exciting! Do report back with vids of each persons perspective plus 3rd person!

However, won’t there be some some lag if your a continent away from each other…?

more than 1 second to react is not instant

111

I haven’t got a friend request from someone with the username “roadtopwn” (but have from someone with a different username), are you using another account of maybe I have to be on NA servers?

112

It’s a different account, can’t bother to reset the password for this one.

113

I keep login in but you’re never online the same time I’m in the game. I’ll be logged into overwatch at UK time 7pm to 11pm which is +5 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard Time and +8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time.
