Hello.
I tend to have a good few hours on Weeby Dragon Boi With A Katana
(read genji)
And I start to notice that every single statement made by an Genji player seems invalid, like two days ago I’ve made a thread about Brigitte’s crazy Shield Bash hitbox, and I’ve been called hypocrite for saying such word as a player that has the most of his quick play hours on Genji.
It isn’t like I want to shot back projectiles/bullets that weren’t even going to hit me. Naaah, “U main Genji u no know about htboxes”
Brigitte is fine because she can stun you almost at the lenght of an additional entire shield on each and every side, vertically it seems a good bit off too.

This video shows how broken it actually is.
And everyone seems to forget that they’ve said that they are gonna work on deflect, right?
Lol, the first comment is exactly why i made this thread…
And why would Blizzard the same mistake twice with waiting a year before fixing Brigitte’s bash hitbox?
You made a thread about how people unfairly judge Genji mains on the forums and then immediately made it a nerf Brigitte thread.
The jokes write themselves.
People think that if Brigitte gets her hitbox fixed, Genji should as well, given he’s had it for 2 years.

And Genji is getting fixed, so why people can’t understand that we want Brigitte to be fair as well???
Why the blame always on the cyborg ninja ???

I made a thread about Brigitte shield bash hitbox and I got attacked by a Mercy main

Because anti-flanker abilities like Shield Bash need to have large hitboxes otherwise they’re useless against flankers
The only other solution is to nerf mobility in general, but since no one seems to want that- you get big CC hitboxes that punish everyone

its mostly for the 2 years genji had his hitbox and the few weeks brig had hers.
You are the reason why I made a thread like this, and mind quoting where I said the word nerf?
I’ve just shown how it is.
@Katattack Maybe Blizzard SHOULD LEARN from their mistakes?
@CQKumber Does it have to be as huge as it is?..Mind checking the video?

That’s false imho. Rocket punch old hotbox was pretty much a guaranteed hit if you knew how to aim.
Shield bash hotbox is bigger.
There is a problems somewhere.
I am not saying they shouldn’t. i am just saying that there has been video evidence of genjis messed up hitbox and blizzard ignored it for months. people are just mad about it so they get heated when talking about brigs.
Shots fired, Shots fired.
Yes, agreed, but why would they make the same mistake twice/again?
i am not sure why they would.
its kind of why i am scared for a sym rework as based on the little info shown i am scared it will be another mercy rework.
they just make the same mistakes.
well, they are humans too.
And I might be the only person on the earth but I hated the hide and rez mechanic, she is currently in a better state than she was ever before in terms of balance, and effectiveness, Mercy mains don’t kill me please.
Because they’re very different abilities with very different functions
Shield Bash is like Flashbang in that it doesn’t displace anyone, just stuns them. But unlike Flashbang, Shield Bash isn’t a guaranteed kill 8 times outta 10 (unless you’re Tracer, in which case you deserve it for being so close to your hardest counter)
Shield Bash also has more than half the range that Rocket Punch does, it doesn’t send people flying off cliffs and into walls, and it’s certainly not a oneshot ability (unless you’re Tracer, in which case see above comment)
first of all there is still a 25% chance that flash won’t work it’s just buggy af.
Brigitte might not kill in 8/10 scenarios but it sure is 3 - 4 out of 10 which with half the cooldown grants a total equal if not better than McCree. And don’t forget about your team lad. They too can help kill the target, same with cree.
No they are useless against flankers for bad players. A big difference.
“Widow should have a Mei sized shot or she’s just not good for clicking heads”
No hero should let a bad player counter harder heroes played by better players.
A hitboxs nerf would mean you actually need some microscopic amount of skill to land it on them.
Just because it’s suppose to be used to counter flankers, doesn’t mean it should be so stupidly broken and low skill that a monkey could pull it off.

Genji’s hitbox is getting fixed though

Then I don’t see why your team can’t help you kill the Brigitte that apparently keeps stunning you into oblivion uncontested, since you surely aren’t running around flanking on your own
A thread defending genji ?
this is nonsense… even if the hitbox was pixel perfect to the shield it would still be the largest CC hitbox in the game by a significant margin. you would only have to be facing them to hit it but at least they’d have to be on your screen.
or, you know, cripple effects that are meant specifically to punish mobility while having little to no effect on immobile heroes. but nah, let’s screw over reinhardt instead.
