no offense but genji is NOT the top dps right now. i still think it’s doomfist
genji is a close second though
Clearly the entire dps roster and owl does …I say give the people what they want
Why do you think that?
Tracer is more iconic than Genji. She’s on the cover.

Let’s take anything OWL wants because everyone behind it clearly knows what’s best for the game. As if seagull didn’t cause a huge problem in the past. Also NOT EVERYONE wants genji idk where u are getting that from

There shouldn’t be a top DPS.
It should always depend on the map and enemy comp.
Dive was the closest we got to that when Tracer was good on dive maps, McCree was good on more rush or brawly maps, Pharah was good on open maps, etc.

They don’t. That’s the point. Give them what they want like a child who wants a jalepeno. And when they sit there crying but not wanting to say anything , you offer them more.
Buff tracer next.
And when they finally start crying you tell them “cool…don’t think you’re grown cus you’re not. We aren’t mean. You aren’t meant for this. So stop bugging about it”

Genji is good and maybe a bit overtuned but he isn’t op like everyone makes it out to be. Winston still makes my balls shiver and Moira still can 1v1 me in most circumstances. Brig still makes my balls shiver like I just came outta the shower in a cold day and I only feel a small bit better before. Now I can duel most dps in a 1v1 providing reinhardt doesn’t go ham on me.
‘Hey, I like him so he should be the best ever dps.’ Not a real good argument there my friend.
Not really. Here is the thing, people like to repeat that, but it just doesn’t hold up.
To be a hard hero would mean that he would have to be easily punished or stopped so you had to work hard to get value. It would mean that the hero was not just straight stronger than other heroes. And those are the problems.
Look, if a hero is just straight up stronger they are automatically easier. That is because if the hero is stronger, it takes less skill and effort to get the same value as one that is weaker. If it takes less skill and effort, they are by definition easier.
And then there is the punish or stop issue. For a hero to be hard, mistakes have to be costly. Genji has one of the most forgiving kits when it comes to making mistakes. He can get away with poor positioning and bad play a lot more than other heroes because he has the tools to get out of trouble easily. So, end of the day, Genji is actually an easy hero to play.
That said…
Exactly this. The difference between the top and the bottom should not be nearly as drastic as it is. It wouldn’t matter who the top was if all the heroes were fairly close in power. But, right now Genji is arguably the most OP hero we have ever had in the game.

I don’t think the Genji buffs would have been so poorly received if so many of his counters hadn’t received nerfs in the past year. The buffs pushed too many matchups into his favor where previously it was an even match or in the opponent’s favor.

No. Just no.

If it’s acceptable for Brig to lose her identifying trait, the armor, then it’s fine for Genji to lose his. The reset.

I wouldn’t say brigs armour was her identity, it’s more her shield and melee I forgot what it’s called
I don’t think genjis identity is his dash reset, but he definitely needs it to be effective
Imagine genji walking from target to target to target with blade, would easily make it the worst ult I’m the game
toxic mechanic that aids players to get numerous kills even if they just have assists, of course genji players want it in the game looool

If Pharah was the best dps I would literally burn my computer. Besides that one minor point you’ve made no valid points and I resent your point of view even if acknowledge your right to hold it.
It’s not. Honestly if this didn’t go through Genji would not be this high up. You guys don’t realise how big of a buff it is to not have to blow dash CD for no other purpose to escape the animation or wall climb which leaves you vulnerable or worse it would have wasted ult duration if used while blading. This is the buff that needs a revert more than any other.
