Mercy and Dragon blade

I love how mercy can make dragon blade require 4 swings and you can’t kill her with dragon blade because of all the Jumping and slingshot techs really cool.

Hit her once and get the dash swoosh she flies away cool game I love healers that dont die and make other people immortal really cool actually.

Really impactful ultimate without nano why is this trash character balanced around blade when it sucks so bad by itself literally cannot kill anything.

Oh no how dare a healers base kit beat an ultimate super balanced.
Guess I need two ultimates to counter mercy my bad guys.
Its totally reasonable that mercy is a counter to dragon blade

Why do I need nano blade to kill someone its an ultimate theyre meant to be impactful and genjis base kit sucks theres no reason for it to suck this bad.

Have you considered flanking and body blocking her so she can’t glide away?

You cant body block theres techs to go around objects and still slingshot

You also have no idea who shes going to glide to untill she does it

If it was that easy clips of this happening above Masters would never happen but it does so clearly high rank players have trouble doing this easy work around.

Not to mention the fact my 200 health gets deleted in miliseconds.

His base kit sucks because nano blade directly affects his balance…want a stronger blade and kit without nano? Advicate to remove nano blade other then that idk what to tell ya. Maybe pop blade when mercy is dead for cleanup? Not sure how good that will fair considering ana can outheal blade also…and moira i think…and bap presses e…then you get chained cc and die…whitch is why the most “optimal” thing is nano blade+ zar bubble but thats overkill cuz nano blade is a free teamfight. Oh and also high rank players know better then to use dry blade

Mercy is too hard to kill without hitscan too slippery.
I have to kill like every person she will fly too to be able to kill her.

What do I do with it then just keep it? I had Lucio and Moira.
I hate using Dragon blade solo too but otherwise I just have it and do nothing with it.

Like i said his “balanced” is conected to nano blade. The reality is if your not nano bladeing you might as well play half a character, so it be better to swap. Again blizzards fault for being terrible at balancing. Its the ways its been since 2016 and has only gotten worse. Maybe politely ask for ana? Or find a diff hero who you find fun, theres like 20 dps. Id mention advicate for nano blade changes but we all know blizz dont care and enough gengi players enjoy nano blading every 2nd fight

Also there will always be a time to pop dry blade…when its 6v5 or 4v4 or when there main support is dead( it happens) just not at the start of a fight when its 6v6 your team isnt pushing and they have all there cds

No my team was pushed in I waited untill my tanks were engaged with their tanks then popped blade.
And it wasnt 6v6 it was 5v6 we killed their hog.

If you can’t catch the Mercy you might want to rethink your target priority.

Also why are you playing Genji without Ana?
It’s basically the same as picking a 2nd Off-Tank or Off-Heal.
For better or worse - Overwatch is balanced around synergies and Nano+Blade is one of the strongest in the game.
If you don’t make use of it, then that’s on you :woman_shrugging:

Its not that I personally cant catch her I dont think anyone in that situation with solo blade wouldve been able to catch her.

Because I was playing good and doing good on him.

This works what do you mean.
Brig Zen is viable
So is Ball Dva

you act like genji’s base kit doesn’t beat any ults :thinking:
deflect anyone?
burst combo cancelling their ult anyone?

also valk healing is legit 5hps LOWER than a moira heal orb.
yeah, let that sink in. it heals at a rate less than a moira heal orb.

Which is why I told you to rethink your target priority.
Wasting Blade on a target you apparently know you can’t kill is a bad move.

Indeed.
If the Brig manages to keep her healing output high enough, then this can work perfectly well.
Though I was obviously thinking of Lucio, Zen and Mercy.

Ball is a Main Tank.

I cant shes healing them it takes like 4 swings on a DPS and a healer who can heal themselfs it will take like 5.

At that point im just better of Dashing in and Headshot melee comboing.

Any good Genji can kill mercy easily. You have two dashes, deal with it.

Any good mercy can fly away from dry blade.
Its 2 swings and she has self heal.

Each swing mercys cooldown is back and once youve used dash you cant go after her anymore.

Ive seen this happen to much higher ranked players so I guess your Masters or what?

Overwatch is a Team Game.

If your team is completely unable to create a situation in which you can get a kill with Dragonblade, then your team is either lacking teamwork or there is absolutely no synergy between the hero picks.

She heals for exactly 3.4 health between the first and the 2nd swing if you swing without a break.
To make her selfheal actually safe her from death there would need to be a break of more than 3 seconds between the 2 swings - and that’s not even considering Dash damage.
