How many people in any thread can? Well I’ll tell you the number is always 0. No one has capped genji or any character for that matter, however the potential value of the hero is still very low compared to others which is why he needs to be buffed.

Its impossible to use a character’s 100% cause u dont hit all your shots and have perfect gamesense
For example by your rank i bet that u cant even use your character’s 40%
Just get rid of nano blade then! Idk why we’re purposely nerfing his base kit, his HP is fine.

I’m trying to climb to GM from gold on this account and let me tell you… Genjis in gold-platinum aren’t too strong at all.
They barely do anything until nanoblade and even then… they mess it up and kill nothing probably a third of the time.
With that experience, I’ve never really felt that Genji is too strong… do you have a replay code of a Genji that felt oppressive to middle ranks? Because I can’t see it.

Weird thing about 30 damage shuriken is when used with quickmelee the damage is basically the same as Dragonblade.
30 x 3 = 90
Melee = 30
90 + 30 = 120
And you can’t combine dragonblade swing with quickmelee.
Why is Genji’s sword an ultimate ability? It’s his signature weapon but he only uses it for 8 seconds at a time, this is like Hanzo only pulling out his bow for his ultimate and the rest of the time he uses a gun.
Genji should have his Dragon Blade out by default with left click slashes deal 90 damage per swing and his right click should be his current shuriken primary fire.
This would get rid of nanoblade as there isn’t that damage threshold any more.
What would the ultimate ability be? IDK, dash cooldown goes to 1 second, unlimited air jumps, something hyper-mobile. Maybe he spins around emanating dragons radially.

cant u see me and other genji mains are desperate for buffs? you won’t find a single Genji post without at least 3 nerfs in exchange for one buff.
Nah. I’d love it if we could use it as a single strike ability like Tracers pulse bomb tho.
They could make it like the heroes of the storm one. He got 2 ultimates there.
Understood, genjis a tricky one isn’t he.
His base kit can become broken so easily, but his ultimate/dmg boosted blade kinda needs nerfs IF we want him to have a strong base kit.

Yes thats the issue. I’m well aware that 30 damage is risky as hell since dash reset can make u snowball from 1 kill to like 4 in a few secs if he actually did damage. I’d opt to buff his melee damage or something else to “slow him down” at the same time where his combos are rewarded with a kill rather than straight buffing him.
dragon blade isn’t broken per se its just that swing dash cancel makes it super strong when combined with damage boosts. I’d get rid of it entirely for a single strike ultimate ability that did lets say 300 damage in a small AoE kinda like Tracer. Then he could have a more impactful kit.

Yeah that’s what I meant when I said dmg boosted blade
Exactly this. And this is why I’m super concerned about giving him 30 dmg.
Starting to think he needs a VERY mini rework… Because he’s just so damn hard to balance.
But then, what could we rework? His melee damage could be upped I suppose? IDK…

Genji isn’t bad because “healing is overpowered” your thinking is flawed because you assume that Genji should be able to 1v2 another player and a healer focusing them.
Genji needs not be a solo God

Hey i actually loke these changes. I usually hate all genji mains becauae they just wants flat buffs, but buffing his shurikens and reverting his deflect , plus nerfing nano genjinin some way would be ok with me
