I love seeing the chaos right now as people are making rants about how overwatch itself is ending just because genjis primary fire is being upped by 2 HP (i know theres other changes but their mostly complaining about the primary buff)

The forums have a lot of support mains, something happening that buffs genji and nerfs moira is sure to make them squirm.

This forum absolutely loathes Genji, even tho he is one of the weakest DPS right now.

I feel like there’s more to it than that one element…
I’m a support main, a Moira main actually, and I’m not entirely concerned about Genji’s buff and I’m uncertain about my nerf…
But we should make it clear they also tightened his right click/cancel ability on deflect. More to it than just his primary fire dmg. Consolidate this with Ana’s high pickrate/pre-existing nano blade combo and we’re looking at a pretty strong meta-duo, while Moira’s dmg (who’s useful vs Genji) is nerfed… so it’s definitely a big balance shift, one that at least warrants discussion.

I agree that he needed something, but… I loath him and Hanzo for other reasons.
Playing Bastion against these new and improved spam bots, will literally be gameplay sabotage.
As a genji main, i dislike and like your nerf, i luke it because…well moira is just too easy to do damage, i dislike it because now genji/tracers wont be scared to engage a team if moira is nerfed
To be fair that’s more of a Bastion issue than a Genji/Hanzo issue.
He needs a rework.
It really should have been a beam nerf not so much dmg… /shrug
We’ll see.

Yes, but if they’re bringing back Beta Genji, with improvements, they need to do the same for our friendly death machine.
ngl as a tank main the hanzo buff got me kinda nervous… if it was anything but his e i wouldn’t care
Something to do with the hitbox

The only thing that bugs me is that they nerfed Moira and buffed Genji at the same time.

Weakest? In what universe?
Yeah excactly. This is going to have an effect on boosted confidence in genji dives and Tracer… A little bit less fear when going in head strong. Moira is going to have to deal with more aggression.

It’s a little on the nose isn’t it?
“We don’t like that our most attractive spamming ninja guy has a counter”
Kinda implies that the image of one of their most played heroes wasn’t “Good enough”
The universe where he struggles to peak over a 1% pick rate above diamond.

This is why playing Bastion will literally be impossible.
They will dive you, and you wont even know when that deflect will stop, and it will also allow for instant retaliation and damage being done the moment you do stop firing.
Thank goodness I started playing Zarya more, is all I can really say.
I’ll still play Moira but I have to see the difference first hand before I make any real judgements.
