The Carbon Genji seems a little bit curved, maybe that could be reason?

It still covers his body so I dont see much of a problem since he is not meant to hit people with the effect just shots from guns

I don’t see the issue here, all this does is showcase how ridiculous it is on live.

The hitbox on PTR to me looks like its a little larger than the DARKER red arms in the center.

Well, here come all the people who were saying “I only want it to match the animation size!” to defend you.

Right?

Yeah, that’s what I expected.

… hi :stuck_out_tongue:

But seriously, I pointed this out on another thread, either Jeff or Geoff at some point previously stated that Genji’s Deflect hitbox used to be pixel-perfect to the animations, and that they felt that was too inconsistent, but now, it’s smaller than the animation. What’s the logic here?

Oh my!
Finally! Now every Mercy main is happy! Genji in trash bin!

How is he trash bin? Isnt he the “hardest” hero in this damn game?! It cant be that a Genji main is nothing without a random and oversized reflect?!

He’s not trash. He had an unfair hitbox fixed. Nothing more, nothing less.

I always interpreted that as, they made the deflect hitbox(es) match the moving blades. Yeah, I can see how that would be inconsistent (but very realistic)

Actually you can shoot through deflect now.

Oh that’s possible. Though in the context in which Jeff made that comment, they were talking about the size of the hitbox overall, so I’m not sure.

i just wish if they decide with this and go live

make it cancelable with RMB or by pressing E again, so i dont have to waste my dash

k thx

Then all they need to do is shrink the animation then.

Wait what? That isn’t helpful either. o_o

They said that they will change the animation to fit the hitbox in a previous post a while ago. This has yet to be implemented. Around June I think.

It looks to me like it will only deflect if you directly hit Genji himself, which is always how it should have been in my opinion.

This is actually not a bad thing, because if you look at both videos, the solider 76 was clearly not aiming directly at him.

I just want to see how this will play out.
