So it’s like a Energy/Stamina meter? Hmm that actually sounds like an interesting idea.
I feel like some people would hate that more meters are being added but tbh I’m all for it.
Do you have any idea how long it would last ?
in plat, every hero is playable, people just play whos fun…
If you look at any tier list made by a pro or high level player genji will either be in a specialist tier or in f tier

I’m mid Diamond tho? Genji is fine. He’s average. At most he should be buffed to Soldier’s level, but Genji is fine. There’s worse heroes in the game. Boost his damage slightly, increase ult charge % and go from there. Genji isn’t and has never been F tier, that’s more Sombra, Bastion and Sym tier

you won’t even be able to pull out your blade and if you do then good luck slashing anyone before you get stunned out of it

This looks like a really well-thought-out post. Kudos 
I sadly have no idea how to Genji, so I can’t provide any actual feedback, but it sounds really reasonable to me. I truly hope these ideas get seen by the right people.
As a friendly rival (Brig main), I’m cheering you on, Genji fans. You are worthy opponents. May the future bring good times for us all

Ok but, what do you really see a genji getting value from? 99% of the time theres a genji, I just get hit by some shurikens, brush it off, i shoot him once, and he runs away to get healed. And the only time i see him do work really is get pocketed to hell by a mercy and/or ana and getting nanoed. Barely have I ever see a genji do any work himself is if the enemy is extremely unorganized, unaware, and out of position. most of the case its not and genji is just a nuisance to his team and always having to play “farming simulator, poke, have Q ready, ask for ana and/or mercy, and go in.” cant tell me genji is fine.
Also also, I’m very aware that other heroes that youve mentioned are bad too and deserve help. Just because i ask for genji buffs, doesnt mean other heroes are exempt from getting help. But i can assure you that genji is only seen as “fine” because of the presence of ana and mercy. I can bet you without them, or just say ana since she was a DLC hero, i bet you genji would be F tier along with the rest. The only reason hes not because nanoblade is his only saving grace starting at mid ranks and the higher you go.

Uh no, Genji is just average right now, he’s honestly not even close to F tier. Calling him F tier is why no one takes Genji posts seriously. Bastion is F tier, Sombra is F tier, Sym is F tier. Genji is B, like Reaper. They’re both almost good enough. Only buff his damage, nerf his ult. If he needs more than that he can be changed. Having so many changes breaks heroes, it’s literally what made him busted before

Well thats the point of being outplayed and outplaying
A powerful ult like blade should have more risk involved to it, currently it has little to none
And in exchange he can even get a better base kit too
It has risk, you have to be in melee range to use it.
Düd why do you want a op genji hes annoying:sunglasses:

Ive never said hes F tier. However i did say he would be close to that tier or even on that tier if ana nor mercy didnt exist. You cant tell me genji is “ok” by himself in this current state of the game. All these changes i suggested dont “break” the hero as it tones him back and forth from june/july era to better his overall base kit at the midway point. And a significant ult charge nerf to have less commonality in blade in an average game.
Also also you wanna know why genji was super busted? Spread + getting ult too fast. In all honesty, if deflect duration and spread was reverted but ult charge was nerfed, genji wouldve been fine. I used these suggestions as a midway point all around to make him better without making him oppressive. These changes are definitely not gonna create another genji meta i can assure you. genji is not AVERAGE as of now. We have experimental cards to always test it no matter what…
Spoiler: Diamond is not a good rank but shhhh
Being worse heroes in the game doesn’t mean that he’s on a good spot. He’s got the same DPS as 2016 and only some buffs that have no importance or that make him easier

yeah because 21 ammo to 30 means he spends more time firing and spamming dmg and less reloading yet he somehow has “same” damage
It was from 24 to 30 and that buff didn’t help his lethality.
theres no point in reverting the spread, his dps will effectively be the same if you make it more inconsistent and give him 1 more damage per shuriken and make him fire 7% faster.
why make deflect worse when it getting buffed didnt make him perform much better than without it. no one wants to learn that a 3rd time.
these are arbitrary nerfs that make the character more awkward.
if you want an additional nerf then reduce his ammo so he isnt as spammy.

Diamond is the top 15% of players, that’s pretty good :/.
If you think that’s the only thing that made him busted you didn’t play support at all during that time. He could literally get a pick before you could react. He was too much.
Small buffs or no buffs is how balance is done

I did though, I just played ana that season because I didn’t feel like abusing a broken hero.
This never happened, there was always a period that you could react.
Agree with this
Same thing goes for Diamond, you dont really understand balance until you actually go against players who will punish every single mistake you make.
Genji is F tier, i dont think thats even in question.
Again until you get to at least High Masters, you cant accurately determine a heroes strength

I really hope they add this so we can test it.
It’s tiring seeing the same suggestions every single day.
Popular ideas. as this one, should make an exC.
That said, I’m not a fan, but if Genji’s overtuned again I can just be a genji main with my max priority passes .-.
