Genji's double jump in capture the flag

Unlike other characters that use their movement abilities (such as Lúcio with wall movement), Genji does not lose his flag when he double jumps. This gives him an unfair advantage as he is the only character able to cross walls, obstacles, and high points without losing his flag, and there is nothing other characters can do about it.

Needs an update where Genji loses his flag after using double jump and wall climbing. Otherwise, just remove the capture of the flag, because it is simply unplayable with such a dishonest technique.

I heard kiriko could teleport with the flag. Was that ever true? If it is, is it still?

Except for the part that it literally makes him an easier target, no?

Hamster is the best for capture the flag, you jump in and use your shield ability and just walk away with a million health.

Double jump doesn’t make him move faster, so it doesn’t drop it. Actual issues is kiriko teleporting with flag. It still drops, but it drops where she teleported to. And JQ can use not only her shout with flag, but also her ult.

Playing as Genji and don’t like my remark?

No, it’s impossible to kill him if he’s on the roof and your character can’t get up there.

Other characters lose their flag when using movement abilities, all but Genji.

During his climbing he’s quite literally defenseless.

It would also seem quite dumb to have your team in one place instead of spread out, making it possible to, I don’t know, stop this Genji in it’s tracks?

There is not enough time to react to it. It is much easier to make this character according to the rules LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, so that there is a fair game.

Eh, I’ve barely encountered this as an issue.

Just get a Genji on your team, fight fire with fire.
I personally don’t think this is an issue.

Methinks that they haven’t actually balanced the new heroes for Capture the Flag yet.

It’s not nice to play dishonestly against others. Okay, you endure it, but you never know what mental state the person on the other side of the screen is in the enemy.

using in-game mechanics to increase advantage is good in single player games, but impolite in online games.

It’s not dishonestly, it’s strategy.
You’re missing out because you’re not using the optimal strategy, obviously you’re going to suffer it.

You’re blaming politeness and honesty?
Come on…

Why do you think being able to capture the flag without moving along the main lanes is “fair”? The map already has plenty of ground paths to play fairly without crossing walls with a flag at the ready.

For some they did. Like teleport still drops it, just doesnt work properly. Sojourn cant use her movement with it, orisa new movement skill also cant be used. Just need to fix JQ and kiriko teleports.

It’s fair because both teams can utilize this hero.

You want broken? Try hog. Can both hook kill and self heal with the flag. He can literally just grab it and leave with effectively 1k plus health.

Feels like a half a ssed game mode anyway.

Just pocket your tank and have them carry the flag

Went into game to see Moira could still fade with the flag, you can. It’s still very hard to pull off
