It's a nerf, not a fix

Just like back with deflect, this is not a good argument for it being OK, it still can hurt a hero, bad.
But for some reason this was only said when Genji was the victim of it, and not with Moira.
Question that i want you to answer for me, WHY?
Can we please just stop using this argument? If a fix, changes something about a hero, and makes them weaker, it’s a nerf.

Genji had a deflect hitbox the size of Reins shield. He could, quite literally, deflect bullets both behind him, and not even aiming at his hitbox.
He deserved the fix.
Moira cannot heal properly now.
She did not deserve a fix.

Genji had a blade he stretched with his arm, it was the proper size.
It makes no sense that he is deflecting with a blade, and it ends only where his body does.
Please, pick up a blade, and stretch it with your arm, does it end where you belly does?
Neither of those were fixes, both were brutal nerfs that have huge potential to butcher a hero.

You srsly believe genji become less impactful because the deflect nerf?
And did you notice his defelect stance doesn’t extend his arm

He holds it directly in front of him. Like a swordsman blocking an attack. Not out to the side. Try again. He does not deserve to block shots behind him and to the side.

I don’t belive it, i know it.

And what, he is an enhaced robotic ninja, he can stretch his arm to the side a bit to kill somone.

Youre just salty because now you have to actually TRY for your deflects, as opposed to hitting E and laughing while you deflected things not even aimed at you.

Genji is actually a fair fight now. Fixing his hitboxes did not affect his standings. Moira is now garbage because of her fix. Big difference, cupcake.

Disagree, I’ve play with lot of Moira player on PTR, all of them doing a GJ and when I ask them, they just said she’s still good.

Atm, with last ptr, I feel like game is way better balanced now, lot of hero can be player and be efficient, it’s a good thing.

Wait til it hits live and Mercy is back to 100% pickrate lmao

No,
Deflect doesn’t work properly now.
Deflect was made that way, because you were meant to not hit him during the deflect.
Not shoot to his sides and glitch him trough his hitbox, or not be punished for missing.
This isn’t about that anyways, you just heard me say genji had something bad and you attacked it like a hound.

You are using Moiras nerf to cry about Genjis fix.

Youre the one derailing your own post in an attempt to get your precious little cyborg ninja reverted back to his broken stage.

He is fixed now. She is not.

If you were to compare Genji’s shuriken to Moira’s healing spray then I could accept the comparison, but Genji’s deflect hitbox being reduced isn’t a comparable ‘fix’ or nerf. Genji is still a fairly strong hero, while Moira’s position has been severely weakened.

Mercy is always the most pick cuz she’s simple and efficient.
That doesn’t make moira useless.
In fact Moira pair well with Mercy.

Why use Moira with Mercy, when Brig and Mercy is better? Moira will fall out of meta, and she was barely in it for every long

I used the post as a point to say that the ‘‘Fix isn’t a nerf’’ is a bad argument.
I am responisble for what i said, not for what you inturpreted it, i am not talking or replying to you again.

Congratulations. Ive made my peace anyway. Genji was fixed. Moira was nerfed. Deal with it.

I don’t consider Brig as healer.
Each time I see a team with 1 healer + Brig they lose.

Brig is more an off-dps slot than healer.
Especially since her nerf.

Genji’s deflect was ridiculous and some of the things he can deflect is still ridiculous such as “gravity”

the nerf was well justified

Both of the things were huge nerfs.
Genji got hurt really bad, this can be seen because widow is thriving.
Meaning that genji, her biggest counter, is suffering.

being smug isn’t cool, it’s dumb and overused.
