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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
