Did you just not read the rest of what I said? Its not a genji problem its a quickly moving hitbox in ow problem. Look all of the abilities have bad hitboxes :Charge, shield bash, swift strike, rocket punch, etc. If you wanna fix the hit box on the worst ability on this list when it comes to damage go ahead BUT FIX ALL OF THEM, even though Im pretty sure its just an OW coding problem.
Also we are not attakcing him lol. He makes whiny posts like every other day and always gets disproven people are just annoyed with him for whining so much
Rocket punch and shield bash have already been fixed.
I am all for fixing all of them, however this is a thread about genji
Shield bash still hits beside you rocket punch will still hit you when youre not in the line. Yes this thread is about genji but your point is directly relatable to other things in the game which are “broken” in the same way
This is like what? Your 13th? 15th Genji hate thread?
Look, I get that you dislike a hero, but at least don’t spam threads every other day, you have like 2 other currently ongoing threads, why would you need another?

Rocket punch is smaller than doomfist himself. Shield bash has already taken a size nerd and is far less egregious than swift strike.
I’m not annoyed, i like that someone make posts i can relate to.
OP style is not exactly my ‘style’, he is a bit provocatory but i agree with him, in my eyes, Genji is a problem for the balancing of the game; i think he has a kit that can surpass every weakness and that is the opposite of the logic of what blizzard designed this game around (counters)
For example Winston should kinda counter genji in theory, but his wallclimb ability let him escape spending 0 abilities and with almost no effort the same thing can’t be said in Cree VS Winston for example. (this is an example don’t get triggered. Just imagine a situation where cree flash is on cooldown or the fact that if cree had wallrunning he could have just escaped without fighting)

Rocket punch holds the excuse of being high damage, which I personally still find that ability quite inconsistent.
As far as my balance knowledge goes, hitboxes on abilities attribute to a few things:
1: How much damage the ability does
2: If the ability also has further status effects
3: The health of the hero using the ability combined with how fast it goes
4: The purpose of the ability as a whole
5: The cooldown of the ability
Shield bash has the effect of a stun, which may attribute to why it is smaller, but I’m not exactly sure if it took a full blown hitbox reduction, as far as I remember it only got a reduction in cone radius, which wouldn’t change the vertical hitbox. And trust me, I have seen some strange things with shield bash.
Look away from the monitor, like just hit the power switch if you don’t like the thread.

TIL: Being marginally more popular than Widowmaker on the ladder and being the third best DPS during OWL Season 1, while being extremely close to losing the spot of third best to Junkrat of all heroes = ‘soaring above all others’

I do get that specific example and scenario how it can be seen as not countering genji but you did, you made him get out sometimes he does have to swift strike if the winston is good enough.
Winston’s Leap is also on a shorter cooldown than Swift Strike, and it goes very far [over decently sized buildings with ease], meaning he can catch up to the Genji quite easily.
Winston’s high health pool also means that Genji will have to hit ALL of his shurikens into Winston’s head before Winston killing him, which is a much harder feat than Winston dealing 60/DPS with a lock-on beam.
I have had my fair share of Winstons chasing me into spawn, regardless of what’s going on.
Overall, Genji vs Winston is a “Stay and you die, and if you run I can chase you” scenario.

I dont care if it has taken a size nerf SHE STILL DOESNT HAVE TO VISUALLY HIT ME WITH her shield and get the effect.
‘worst dps against tanks’
- gets his ult from tanks
- he’s the only hero whose ult ignores tanks’ shields
- most of his kit ignores shields
- tanks can’t stun and chase him effectively because of his mobility
- can kill tanks with his ult…
‘worst dps against tanks’
But sure, it’s genji’s fault. Lol

Genji does 84DPS, 168 MAX with his primary.
Most of the tanks can out-perform that, in decent time as well.
Even if you don’t think so, he is by least worse off than Mccree/Reaper/Hanzo etc. at fighting tanks to kill them.

I repeat myself once again. Genji would be fine for me if he only had one primary fire (3 shurikens in straight line).
Obviously buffed accordingly, taking out his only skilless, kinda tedious and annoying right click
Anyone dominating with Genji has taken a lot of time to learn how to play him.
We need more heroes with kits like his. : )
High skill cap high reward
No one can just onetrick Genji from bronze to GM.

They’d rather attack me than address the issue because they know Genji is OP.
the point of my reply was to point out that genji is the only hero that is viable because of tanks. Only dps hero that’s viable against tanks. Not that he’s overpowered. He just doesn’t care about tanks and profits on them. That’s why he’s most used. His ult doesn’t get cancelled by dmatrix, his ult doesn’t care about shields. His kit doesn’t care about shields either. And people wonder why he’s picked. Because tanks don’t let other heroes be picked.
