Give Genji a melee passive. Why does a punch=blade

Seriously I do not think there’d be any major harm in giving him a melee passive. I know he already has a lot too his kit, but he’s a mid character in terms of strength to other characters.
But why does a Kiriko or Ana punch do the same amount as a BLADE?? It actually is really dumb when you think about it

I agree to this, as a melee character in this hyper mobility days is not good. He keep falling behind, SO hard to get value with genji these days, every1 just fade/ tp/ suzu/ boop bla bla bla bla lifegrip away.

It’s funny because JQ who has a knife as a melee does more melee damage but for some reason Genji doesn’t. I’d honestly be down if Genji got a JQ style rework on his melee + his other blade abilites. Extra dmg + bleed would be really nice IMO.

How about instead, we give Reaper Genji’s walking speed passive

:thinking: Thoughts?

From a non-Reaper player’s PoV, it looked to me like Reaper really benefitted a lot from the bonus move speed DPS passive back whenever that was. I’m fine with Reaper going to a 6m/s (or whatever it is) walkspeed.
