Moira vs Genji is messed up

im just sayin genji is really hard to play. Most people can’t play genji because he’s really hard. But pretty much anyone can play moira. Having a hero everyone can play easily counter one very few can play seems pretty unfair. moira’s beam should be harder to aim with probably.

That’s kinda how countering works

A hero counters someone by either killing them in a semi easy way, or not allowing them to do their job properly, which in genji’s case is to flank/dive.

Moira can deter a genji from just flanking out of the blue, mostly because he can’t deflect her primary.

But she doesn’t do enough dmg to our right kill him, and she doesn’t have the best self heal

Plus genji should have his team to back him up, and not just blindly flank/dive

Also if Moira is focusing you, she isn’t healing her team

And it is not that easy to kill a genji as Moira, contrary to popular belief

advice: Keep your distance

no its not.

countering works where a kit is designed to have an advantadge, not to be easily done.

widow has an advantadge against pharah, but its not exactly easy to win the duel.

He’s not that hard. His skill floor is moderately low if you’d ask me.

I just think it takes a lot of effort for player to git gud with genji. I think to counter a hero like that you should have to put in more effort than moira requires.

Genji’s skill ceiling is very high though.

i mean…she does tho, she stays far enough away, she can easily dodge pharahs rockets and just shoot her out of the sky

Soldier v Genji is what I consider a balanced duel

Where it’s entirely skill dependent and cooldowns don’t counter the hero for you.

no.

its not easy to dodge the rockets as they have aoe damage and would require you to move 6 meters in a second, and hitting the shots are not easy

I think that’s a bit exaggerated on this forums to be honest. It’s high yes, but I would call it that high.

Her range is like 20m dont give that seriously lol moria skill floor and ceiling needs to be alot higher.

Mercy a awsome example of a balanced hero. In the support role she requires some skill to carry with but she easy to pick up and understand for knew players

SO the trick is you LMB her from far away.
Once you see her use her fade.
Burst Damage Combo.
If you are about to die, swift strike out of there and reset.

If you are actually good on genji you understand how to maintain this safe distance.

i mean, it kinda is i mean, why else do pharahs have to get close to a widow to be a real threat to them?

He’s not that hard up through high Plat. Spam jump while spamming shuriken, dash on target. Not hard.

Which is terrible after the nerf

A single bodyshot is enough to make her retreat, and those are easy.

i mean, its easy to make a match seem fair, when you make one compotent and the other dumber than a sack of rocks

A high skilled hero like Genji requires high skills like for example,

“knowing Moira is a counter and to stay away from her”

How can we talk about being high skilled and then running head first into a hard counter?

Play smarter.

I mean it really isn’t. you only have to get close to widow too be a threat if youre bad at pharah. I admit 100% that pharah isn’t the best, but the idea that you have to get close to widow to be a threat is preposterous. the reason people do it is because it pressures the widow, not because you have to be close to be a threat.

So literally do not be 20+ meters within the enemy backline at any given time.

Yeah, as a close range hero that ain’t happening.
