Need to hit up comp. Haven’t really had a problem with him other than people running when he ults. I just shoot him in the face and walk away.
This is why I have basically quit the game. The community has had as much of a hand in the downfall of OW as Blizzard has. Everything is being nerfed and homogenized or made bland and for what? What needs to be removed next so that people stop whining and complaining over literally nothing? So 95% of us are gold here and we get dumpstered by Genji once every 9-12+ games now, he was nerfed, I don’t see him and I know others here aren’t seeing him in their games as much.
But really what else needs to be removed? Hero switching? Obviously, that is far too much agency especially with pay to win heroes being sold in 3 days’ time.
Map objectives? Clearly, that’s too much to ask for. We can’t have people thinking about objectives and shooting the enemy at the same time.
Hero abilities and ultimates? Clearly, this is too much as well, maybe we should just remove every ability and ultimate in the game(especially ultimates) since these are OBVIOUSLY free EASY “I win!” buttons and we cannot have that at all. Just give everyone Soldiers gun and call it a day, that’ll make the game good for sure.
Hero Roles? Obviously, this is unacceptable. Healers should be DPS lite like they already are but let’s remove all the utility and healing. Tanks were converted into super tank brawlers but this is also not acceptable. We can’t have boss battles with every engagement now can we? Get rid of this. Scale all tank’s hitboxes to say, Soldiers, remove all defensive capability and CC, and just make every hero a DPS.
I truly don’t know what people here want OW to be but every time I see a “nerf this hero” post or “this map type is terrible” I can only wonder many different things but the #1 thing is, do you guys want OW to be unique or homogenized, bland and like every other F2P MP game on the market, so far it’s already there.
(Can’t wait for the false flags cause this post is too “mean” and “hostile” even though it’s just the truth).
Bonus Edit: I also just laugh every time I see these posts and people talking about queue times, specifically support queue times while also failing to mention the garbage monetization as a critical reason as to why no one would bother to A) play this game and B) hit play and queue support any day of the week. They could make every support hero actual gods(they kind of are in some respect, healing is the most broken concept/mechanic imaginable in a PVP game), and that still would not get anyone to play.
So until the F2P garbage is reverted, there is no real solution. Buffing supports won’t make people want to play the babysitter role.

I’ve always hated fighting Genji, but he’s way more manageable after his recent nerfs. He’s fine. If anything, complaints about characters like Genji could be more easily addressed by giving Brigitte her shield bash back.
Revert the last set of nerfs and nerf swift strike.
Reduce hitbox, nerf the dmg and the range on it.
honestly i think the problem isnt genji himself per say but the damn dps role passive. Its been given insane ammount of mobilities to characters who already had extra or shouldnt have it in the first place.
Eliminations reduce his swift strike cooldown by 4/5 seconds instead of a complete reset? I dunno.
This is certainly part of the problem with Genji. Do DPS get this on any elimination or any final blow?
Any elim
That’s a good idea worth experimenting with actually

So what, he is not allowed to have any strengths?

I made a thread today with some changes making him an objectively harder hero that’ll be way less of a problem for lower ranks and casual play and yet it still got quite some backlash
These forums just want him to stay the way he is although they cry about him every single day for years on end
Genji could use changes to improve his performance on the higher ranks while making sure that jump spamming is not too difficult to deal with in low ranks. But all these posts only asking for nerfs with no compensation elsewhere are such a bot take and screams of low elo.
Nerf him and get rid of him.
I agree, he’s still too strong. Please nerf
There is no way around it - Genji just causes damage for this game.
In same manner tank busting heroes eradicated population of tank mains in OW1, flankers do same to support mains. Same flawed idea of anti-role heroes.

lol “anti-role”
Every hero who is better at doing damage than support is “anti-role” when the role is support.

Not when hero is specifically designed to sneak past frontline to target supports.
genjis ok now. skillful and balanced. time to nerf sojourn pharah and ana now
The problem with doing that is you kinda make Brig the only Support that’s a reliable counter to mobility - then she becomes a high risk of being really strong in high ranks all over again.
The thing I hate most about removing the stun is that a lot of Brigs big, fun (at least for the Brig player), playmaking ability has been removed from her. Which is why I wish they’d give her something else/rework her

That doesn’t make him anti-role lol. You just have this weird entitlement of enemy having to kill everyone else first before they get to supports.
Yes it does, he is specifically backline raider.
No, your support hero pool is too shallow to think he’s anti-role.
