actually he CAN deflect Junk’s mine, but not Sig’s rock.
he cannot deflect BEAMS either.
no. Mei is great, ive been doing well with both her and Genji.
Doom is the worst hero atm.

Actually been wondering what if deflect only applied to one attack. I remember watching a old vid where genji reflected a ton of stuff and instantly got his ult, then ulted and wiped the team.
I wish she was but no. filled with bugs, can be easily ran over and full projectile kit with mediocre damage and no mobility and no CC to defend herself in a game where everyone has at least one of those stats in a good spot (damage, mobility or CC)
true, her beam DMG could be higher.
- slow effect + anti DM and Reflect
- wall (amazing ability)
- ice block (self heal + contesting)
all Mei needs is a bit more damage.
she is not the best hero atm, but she is not the worst either.
her ability to slow, self heal, contest, separate enemies from their teammates, block damage, & damage multiple targets at once are all great things to have.
Deflects rein hammer
Canonically he deflected that giant robot’s attack in zero hour. So dude can deflect almost anything. Canonically
Genji can deflect Junkrat’s mine, he just can’t deflect the explosion. Same goes for any other explosive projectile. Detonate TNT over his head, and it’ll hit him. Splash a Pharah Rocket on the floor or against the wall, and that’ll hit him too. Sig’s orbs detonate after traveling a specific distance, so you can damage Genji even when he’s not next to a surface if you can get the distance just right. The Deflect only works against projectiles angled in front of him too (meaning within 90° of his facing angle), so in theory bouncing projectiles behind him should still be able to land a direct hit, though that would be difficult to do precisely.
Deflect can also be canceled by stunning melee attacks, like Rein’s Charge and Doom’s Rocket Punch (and formerly Brig’s Shield Bash, but not anymore). Sig’s Accretion is technically a projectile but behaves more like a melee attack in its interactions.
Finally, as others have mentioned, beams completely ignore Genji’s Deflect. Zarya’s primary, Sym’s primary, Mei’s spray, Moira’s damage beam, Echo’s Focusing Beam, and Winston’s primary all go through Deflect.

tell me you don’t play Mei without telling me you don’t play Mei. from this point it’s clear that the discussion is pointless.
and doom has a stun, a damage mitigation ability, an ultimate that slows, an ability that gives him horizontal and vertical mobility, regens shield etc yet in your eyes he is the worst in the game. calling out the hero kit in a bubble will never work the same way it does in practice
She is the worst tbh. She doesn’t need to be the best hero, she needs to be playable, fun and have her carry potential back. needs the nerfs reverted or be given a tank rework or something.
She has a 100 DPS piercing beam that slows enemies down. She doesn’t need mobility when she can make enemies slower and cut off their retreat with a wall. She gets relative mobility by moving at normal speed while her target is stuck or slowed.
I agree that her kit feels a bit weird because the primary and secondary fire don’t have any synergy anymore. Seems like you just use the primary when you’re in range and secondary when you’re not, with a few exceptions (like looking for the 1-shot headshot on Tracer).

ok, the 100 dps beam doesnt help because damage is not registering properly like other hitscan beam heroes. the gun was designed around CC. in practice with all the mobility creep its actually low numbers which I can’t even tell exactly how much. and yeah about the primary-secondary synergy you got that right
you are so pretentions 
i have a boatload of hours on Mei since 2016.
she is.
FREEZE WAS A CRUTCH FOR BAD PLAYERS.
you should be able to land headshots without it.
correct, also the beam is good on groups.
it still has CC

I’ll bite 1 last time
then you should know better.
consideting quite a lot are not satisfied, no, not really…
its her way of enabling the team and making plays.
if you need the Freeze to win, then you need to practice more.
she does not need freeze. she just needs a bit more damage.

went to bed came back to that lol CHUMP just makes me laugh bro get out of here just cuz you dont like something and cant play around it yourself doesnt mean it should be nerfed its like asking for turret nerfs because you cant aim yourself just makes no sense
DISMISSED SON lol
also reading all the coments looks like you’re getting ratioed pretty bad so it looks like i was right
The point is/was, that a vast majority of abilities cannot.
