So many people ask for this hero and they just do not realize they are trying to open Pandora’s Box with the help of a Monkey’s Paw.
The power constraints of tanks and supports, and Genji’s combo oriented nature are the only reason the melee and melee-hybrid heroes we have work are as balanced as they are.
During development, they had a melee dps hero. They deemed it impossible to balance, and they split that hero into Hanzo and Genji.
Df:Who taught you the blade?
Genji:The best swordmaster in the world(ref to kiriko’s mother)
Thats who i want to see as a new character
what we really need is a tank with as much coolness as genji, that will fix alot of queue time issues 100%
Tired of all these derp characters, i dont want to play some stupid looking characters.
A nodachi user as a tank would be pretty cool
Genji should be reworked so he’s using his sword as a primary, it’s clear the shimada bros are both suffering right now in the game. Both heroes need a rework
Instead of a rework, just give us another genji in that case. Were he went a different path or something.
I swear some of you people just want every dps to be a s76 variant
Agreed; we’d have to combine the sword/melee aspects with some kind of persistent access to a ranged weapon of some sort.
I really would not want to deal with more hyper mobile flankers, and almost certainly not a “Genji 2.0” that’s even more mobile.
Maybe they could try something along the lines of a DPS Brig that has a shoulder mounted gun (or other ranged weapon) instead of repair packs (and sword instead of flail, if that wasn’t clear)?
Else, we’d need a gun available via weapon swap, and weapon swap functionality hasn’t gone over that well in Overwatch usually. I suppose they could make it so some of the melee abilities auto-swap back to sword for fluidity’s sake.
Genji was going to be this but it was not good gameplay experience do they changed
Spiderman in Marvel rivals is kinda like this his attacks are weak but he has fast mobility
People cry and whine when he used the bow , imagine the years if hanzo takes up his sword again 
Venture is probably the closest we will get to a melee DPS.
Torb is the real melee dps what’s wrong with all you people
We have rein who is the only real melee and thats should be where it ends. We do not need a sword wielding rogue, if you wanna play a game like that you have a lot of choices in ARPG universe or MMOs.
To be fair, he was hated because he was built around chain cc to emulate fighting game combos. Also, the oneshot on the punch was obnoxious. Him being melee was never the issue.
Thatd be cool. Kinda lile Brigitte, but with a sword!
Can he or she be like Xenoblade? 
he didnt make that hero. she was developed by the original team back in 2017.
How about take the dreaded RWBY approach and make the sword a gun?
Like you left click and instead of blocking or attempting to parry, the guy says “nah, that’s for sissies. Here’s a route with some CHEST HAIR” and then the sword starts shooting bullets out of it. Like a rifle. Put him at like long or short range, but not medium. Or go the other route and make it Like a slug that’s really good at midrange, but sucks at short/long range, that way he can kill people trying to escape, or can deal a bit of chip to start a fight. Maybe, I’m not a game dev
Yeah I want to see a Hashimoto Samurai tank. The villain to the shimadas.
Instead of wallclimb which is a shimada thing, the hashimotos should have Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon style tripple jumps.
Hero wears a cool OW rendition of traditional samurai armour, with a cape added for coolness.
Bring over some Genji stans to tank.
