Rename "Deflect"; "Reflect" and Reset Dash on Final Blows

Nah, it’s literally my thoughts and opinions on Genji. I Literally didn’t ask for anything. No question marks, no “can you?” “Please?” “May you?” or anything of the sort anywhere in the title or the original comment. It’s literally my opinions. I know that people don’t like opinions that differ from their own and that’s understandable but not everyone is going to agree with you. I even had a nice discussion with someone on the topic. It’s fine if you want to voice your opinion on the matter but claiming it is something that it simply isn’t, is not adding anything to this thread.

I hope I cleared things up for you two. There is no secret meaning or interpretations to be had. I had thoughts and opinions on a subject, made a thread and claimed them as they are.

Your passive-aggressiveness is showing.

Must be hard to “just share opinion” when it’s done on bad faith.

What? :joy: You think I’m upset because I told you the truth about this thread just being my opinion. :joy:

Hey, I can’t stop you from getting defensive for no reason over my opinion but I genuinely wish that you have a good day or night (whichever one it is for you, it’s morning for me :sleeping:) and understand that this is just my opinion which may not be the same as yours and that’s completely fine. I’m not upset about it, you don’t have to be upset about me not being upset, either.

Sometimes you just have to speak your mind and stick to it. If you don’t agree with someone else, a simple “I disagree” and an optional reason is all you need. No need to be hostile or make false claims like this:

Just because I’m fine with not seeing eye to eye on something with you or that I stated my opinion on the internet.

If I were getting defensive I would type as much gibberish as you did.

Just wanted to make sure you understood. But it seemed sort of defensive since you tried to shift focus when I corrected you with facts. If you weren’t, my mistake.

I understood you got defensive when I said you were getting passive-aggressive and that you made this thread on bad faith.

Well, the truth is, I thought you were getting a bit upset so I was trying to assure you that I wasn’t upset and that there was no need to be upset over something that’s simply not true or claim false things. To be honest, I still feel as though you are a tad upset. I hope I am wrong about this, though. If I am, I apologize.

I did not mean to come off as defensive nor did I make the thread in bad faith. I also did not mean to offend anyone with my opinion.

However, I must ask that we get back on topic. Derailing the post could lead to suspensions or a closure of the post. Neither of which, I want for either of us.

You thought wrong. Your feelings are still wrong.

Nothing for me to be upset about, if I came off that way to you, well, I can’t apologize for your projection.

Suspension would be annoying, but closure of this thread is not a great loss.

Well, like I said, I apologize for thinking that.

This is not right.

That’s fine, I didn’t ask for or expect you to apologize.

It would be annoying to me as it doesn’t violate the rules.

That’s fine, I didn’t ask for or expect you to apologize.

It’s not wrong.

That’s fine. I didn’t say you asked or expected me to apologize.

Then don’t worry about it.

Barf post

Well this simply makes no sense seeing as I said:

Then in response, you said:

Then I said:


The only logical reason you would say this:

Would be in response to this:

If you thought I expected you to apologize as well and all of this completely goes against this:

Because it’s quite clear and indisputable that you did expect me to expect you to apologize.


I think you just want the last word so that’s fine too. :grin:


Yeah, like brain-barf. Straight from my brain, right to the forums. :sweat_smile:

I think you should try to understand the context. I said you were wrong about me being upset and your feeling of me still being upset is also wrong. It has nothing to do with apologies but everything to do with your projection.

sure dude just make genji twice as hard for no reason at all

i can smell the bias through the monitor

“but but he does 50 damge each reset” so what, mccree does 70 damage each half a second, its not much

It is a bad post.

Shouldn’t reset at all.

Some of these numbers are overwritten for good reason. It makes little sense on an ability that I feel should mainly be used to close a gap. Consider the piercing effect and its 15m range.

Nothing like Brigitte’s 6m range at 35 damage.

Lmao, now Genji is “out of position” for doing his job.

What’s your argument here? Cause regardless on whether Genji is alone or not, dash reset only activating on final blows will be a death sentence on most dives.

I fail to see how I’m “out of position” if I get an enemy low and one of my teammates get the final blow in an attempt to assist me. Am I in the wrong for doing my job or is my teammate in the wrong for… also doing their job? Makes no sense.

It doesn’t matter if my team is pushing or not. I’m relying on that dash to get me out of there. Without it, the two seconds of defense provided will not be enough to keep me alive most of the time.
That isn’t balanced, that’s just unfair. It punishes teamwork, and that’s the last thing Overwatch needs.

If that said hero was low hp then it’s genjis job to dash kill them then dash out. You cant remove his playstyle like that

Dash resetting on final blows wouldn’t remove this playstyle at all.

It wouldn’t punish teamwork, it would encourage more thought being put into when Genji uses his dash and actually encourage him to be in the backline more where there are less people to “steal” his kill. If he is with his team, he is at a way lower risk of dying “because he doesn’t have dash” and he would still be able to do his job as a flanker.

Not really. You just might not agree with it.

Differing opinion =/= bad post.

Mccree also:

  • Has considerably less mobility.
  • Has no way to negate damage.
  • Doesn’t have increased base speed like Genji.
  • Has to pay more attention to positioning as he cannot reposition as easily.
  • Has an ult that is waaaaaay easier to avoid and is waaaaaay more likely to get killed using it.
  • Can get stunned out of his ult.
  • Also doesn’t get free handouts for doing his job like Genji.

You brought Mccree into this.

Every other flanker’s job is to get backline kills and finish low health enemies. Genji is the only one who gets a reset for doing so. The reset is not the problem. How easily he gets the reset is. Genji is not punished as hard for making mistakes as the other flankers are, either.

That being said, as someone else pointed out, it’s cooldown is sort of long for a flanker’s mobility ability, however;

  • It goes through multiple people.
  • Is reset if any of those people are killed after, by him or a teammate with a gracious activation period.

I know you guys don’t agree with my opinion, that’s fine. I’m not saying he’s OP or asking for these changes. I just shared my opinion as stated. I usually play Sombra so Genji doesn’t even get to dash, let alone, use the reset. I do honestly like the passion and input, though. :wink:
