Hero viability list (from my opinion)

TANK:
D.va - OK as she is
Winston - OK as he is
Rein - fix his bugs, no needs for buffing/nerfing
Wreckingball - should be buffed slightly
Roadhog - maybe small buff, but not immediately
Orisa - Ok as she is
Zarya - Ok as she is

Damage:
Bastion - needs a buff
Doomfist - OK as he is
Genji - Ok as he is
Hanzo - Ok as he is, stop whining and switch if you cant counter him
Junkrat - got nerfed a bit too much, could use slight buff
Mccree - needs a buff
Mei - Ok as she is (don’t nerf her because people cry)
Pharah - Ok as she is
Reaper - needs a buff
Soldier - Ok as he is
Sombra - needs a buff
Symmetra - needs a small buff on her primary
Tracer - Ok as she is
Torb - needs rework
Widow - ok as she is

Support:
Mercy - OK AS SHE IS. PERIOD.
Ana - still needs slight buffing
Lucio - needs slight buffing
Zen - Ok as he is
Moira - ok as she is
Brigitte - needs SLIGHT nerf to her survivability (I suggest weaker shield)

Hmm, I think Genji is fine, but the only thing I’d truly give him is either faster shurikens (80 m/s, up from 60 m/s which brings it on par with zenny’s orbs) or a faster reload speed, something that doesn’t buff his overall power, but allows him to get the job done a little faster.

Mahhh I don’t think so he is used a real lot if meta favors him

Nobody complains about Genji if it’s his meta, people complain now because it really isn’t best time to play him

I was in the thread you mentioned this awhile back, but someone else said adding 10 damage to swift strike in the form of DOT, 2 damage every second for 5 seconds. They didn’t go into detail, but I see it as helping Genji finish off the pesky Mercy or Zen who couldn’t activate the self heals. Me likey.

Yeah, but those mains would get pissed off about how they can’t self heal, so I kinda strayed away from it.

If you do that you make him too accessible for players with lower mechanical skill and too strong for those with mechanical skill

Gengu is mechanical hero

How? It’s pretty much 5 seconds, 10 damage of bleed. It wouldn’t hurt his skill floor, hardly at all. All it would do is help the really high ranked Genji’s do their job better than a Tracer or Doomfist, which he STILL does worst at… Genji can’t one clip, or combo a Mercy/Zen, sadly.

EDIT: Okay better is a strong word, by ‘better’ I mean’t HE does it better than his old self, not these 2, whom I believe he’ll never be as good at, and I’ve accepted it.

Yea, but to avoid so many complaints that he might get nerfed into the floor because of, I’d say we stick with faster shurikens or a faster reload.

People will complain no matter what. I can already see it.

“Why is Genji a close range hero but has fast projectiles!” (This one already happens)

“Genji has so much ammo with pretty much no reload time!”

To who? Dive tanks get melted by storm arrow, flankers are a lot easier to hit with his faster arrow speed, and anything at any range is liable to getting one-shot.

Well then let’s just take whatever buff blizz gives us that isnt too big, right now he’s about to get a free reload every blade, so let’s see how that plays.

Most good Genji’s will waste maybe 6-12 shurikens before blading, and plus on console it always locks me in that annoying reload animation right after ulting, so it’s a big step up.

Ok, let’s go:
D.va, Wreckingball :slight_smile: , Doomfist, Genji, Pharah, Widow

Bastion does not need a buff, he needs a rework. He has the same core design flaws as Torb or Sym.
Mercy is definitely not okay at all. Because even if they nerf her healing to 25 per second she still will be a must pick simply because damage boost and resurrect are too powerful mechanics to be combined in one hero.

Disagreement here

Refer to my post for explanation

Really? Falloff buff was that good?

Brigitte is fine, D.Va needs damage buff.

Look, if you ask me I’d return him headshot potential while in turret form

I just wouldn’t make it that high so people wouldn’t cry.

Honestly, I agree with you with pretty much all of it, especially the parts about Hanzo and Mercy.

Doesnt these counters need to be slighty more viable then now? Like nerf hanzo a little.
