Oh my god, can this happen?

What if an Ana throws nade at an enemy Genji, the genji deflects it, however after it gets deflected it heads for an allied Genji, And he also deflects it! What happens!? Will it now again stun the enemies since it been double deflected?

And what if an Ana throws a nade into a deflecting genji, and that genji deflects it into an ally genji, and then they just go back and forth back and forth playing ping pong with her nade, is this possible?

I’ve long wondered about Genji ping-pong.

Never made it happen yet.

It is possible. There are a lot of videos showcasing infinite streams of bullets. It’s now even crazier with Baptiste’s ultimate, though I wonder if it infinitely multiplies damage.

It can happen, but its incredibly unlikely. Youtubers got 11 other people in a custom game with 11 genjis with no CD on deflect and you can kinda play tennis or pingpong with deflects using projectiles.

Oh god I hope summer games isn’t genji tennis.

I take it you werent around for the genji vs genji vs hanzo fights with scattah arrow. Those were some fireworks!

Two Genjis can definitely continuously deflect things back at each other until one of their deflects end. You just hear A LOT of clanking noises until it ends. XD

Things to Do In: Overwatch - Deflect Duel - YouTube Here is a clip for you to view of it happening. :slight_smile:

I actually played genji tennis on custom games önce. Basically two teams of genjis try and deflect a tracer bomb onto the breakable platform on petra. The teams whose side gets broken first loses. Was actually really fun.

No. Ana nade does not stun targets.

Yes.
Biotic Grenade is a projectile, so can be deflected by Genji.

i played genji tennis with 5 friends
there was 1 rein in the middle he would throw a firestrike to the team a genji and he would deflect it to team b genji if the team b genji failed do deflect the fire strike team a would get a point

Yes. This is similar to the black hole glitch in super smash brothers melee, where two star foxes hold defleft (down B) and bounce projectiles back and forth between them creating a black hole of damage. You could probably do something interesting with genji deflect in custom game.

Yes.

Deflect works by essentially deleting the original projectile and spawning one of his own with all the same properties (the only exception is Rat’s mine, which is kinda wonky). When the second genji catches it, it will become ‘his’ Bio Nade.

And yes, Genjis can bounce things between themselves pretty much infinitely if the cooldown is reduced enough.

I feel like I’ve seen YT vids of 11 Genjis all deflecting back and forth in one long chain already.
