They removed Genji's ledge jump, but why?

Because i think here’s a case of double standards to be completely honest.
As this is seemingly perfectly fine for whatever reason;

I would understand it if they just nerfed Genji’s ledge jumping, existing alongside Doomfist’s. But why is it okay to exist on another character? What makes it okay on Doomfist but not on Genji? As quite frankly, Doomfist is already very mobile without it.

To those who don’t know what i’m refering to;

I just really want to know, why it’s okay on one character, but not another…

Because why not ¯\ (ツ)

Fair enough, i guess.

But then why not on Genji? :man_shrugging:

Because ledge jumping literally across the map was stupid. I’ll look at the doomfist one later but… Ledge jumping literally across the map to drop down for a blade was dumb and it was clearly unintended due to how difficult it was to execute

Yeah, but they could have just nerfed it and kept a weaker version of it in the game.
(Like they did with Moira and Brigitte)
Instead, they removed it altogether.

because genji was already a good hero, didn’t need extra things

while doomfist was a horrible last year so they just allowed him to have these things that was not intended but right now he doesn’t need it anymore so he just becomes stronger for no reason

Genji already has a weaker version in his normal mobility.

Because doomfist hopping up a few feet on a few specific spots and a Genji being launched as high as a Pharah using any ledge in the game is totally comparable.

It doesn’t give Doomfist super height like Genji’s. Doomfist doesn’t get himself directly on the point from spawn and surprise ult. It doesn’t work on every map for Doomfist. Almost no Doomfist player will use that technique. So its fair for Doomfist

Nerf, huh. That’s a weird way to spell fix.

also please don’t tell me you’re blind enough to not see genjo favoritism

The Doomfist thing is a physics exploit; the move is working as intended, but being used in an unintended way. It’s the same reason Moira can get a height boost off of those same diagonal surfaces, or why Lucio can wallride upwards off of certain surfaces.

The Genji ledge jump was a bug. It’s a fine line, but there is a difference.

…I do really wish they had kept the ledge jump, though. Easily my favorite thing about Genji.

doomfist doesn’t get any further doing this, genji could dash across half a map with the ledge bug

Have you watched the jump at 0:02?

Because Genji was already one of the most elusive characters in the game. Doomfist on the other hand has one of the largest’s hitbox’s in the game and is not even half as hard to hit.

It doesn’t let Doomfist travel as far as Genji, and like I said almost no Doomfist player will use that technique.

yes actually, he would have ended right there with a ground level rocket fist too, he only got some air from the rock

watch this:

and then tell me it’s the same

Oh, no i fully acknowledge that Genji’s ledge jump was too much.
But like i said;

again: because it’s not the same

doomfist does what mercy does when using space and guardian angel
