Genji's Swift Strike is unfair and cheap

If I am Zen, Ana, Bastion, Sym or some Tank or any hero with little mobility, how can I avoid Genji’s Swift Strike?
It is 100% guaranteed damage from the enemy, nor can the shields protect you.

How can I know when he is going to do it, to do something about it? it’s instantaneous.

If Genji always do his S.S. after his Reflect, I can’t shoot him

and that I do not mention its reset or its huge hitbox

It’s 100% effective guaranteed.

Not gonna change your mind because I want you to continue to feel the way you do and suffer.

While it is guaranteed damage, I wouldn’t say it is unfair. Anoying and cheap, maybe; a ridiculous hitbox, most likely, but if you die to swift strike you were gonna die anyway.

If you do not have the chance to kill him with a single blow before making his S.S. its impossible to avoid the attack

You act as if 50 guaranteed damage is a bad thing…

Discord is unfair and cheap because you can’t block it and it has almost no cooldown.

Bionade is unfair and cheap because it heals+give healing bonus+damages+blocks healing.

Sym is unfair and cheap because she has turrets doing the shooting for her!

Don’t change my mind because you can’t!

it’s so unfair that it took you 2 and a half years to figure it out right? OOOR are you just gonna point at something that killed you thats been in the game since lauch and call it unfair

but is not damage

There is always the chance to kill him. It’s not impossible.

No it’s not damage. It’s extra damage.

Anytime someone says change my mind, they aren’t actually interested in changing their mind.

50 damage at the cost of being close range melee attack. And if he doesn’t get the kill he has no escape. Yes genji is unfair. But brig is fair yes 30 damage per hit and a personal shield that can stun and a flail that can knock back. Yea

Discord is blocked by shields, Swift Strike isn’t.

Discord has no cost. Swift strike sacrifices genjis positioning and has a cool down without the kill

It’s cheap, 50 damage which leaves him with no way out if he doesn’t kill one of your teammates.

Zen, discord him and either kill him yourself or ask for help, he’s stuck there.
Ana, anti him, sleep him, bait out deflect with melee or once again, ask for help from your teammates. You have so many possibilities.
Why would you even pick Bastion or Sym… Either way, bastion can just shoot the genji, you got so much damage and a decent spread it’ll hit the genji either way, and sym has her primary which goes through deflect, so do her turrets and she can tp away if genji somehow wins the fight.

Just the hitbox is cheap.

ultra mobile
cheap
annoying
permissive hitbox
permissive cooldown reset
near impossible to stop

Completely and totally untrue actually
