Why does genji have +1 mobility

There are also facts and statistics to back up the fact that Genji is perfectly balanced.

He has maintained a 50% winrate almost evenly AND a healthy 4.4% pickrate average.

(Anything from 3-5% is a healthy pickrate and anything from 49-50% is a healthy and perfect winrate)

His pickrate/winrate is lower in the lower ranks and higher in the higher ranks, while not straying from 50% in the upper ranks. From what I can see he’s perfect.

Nah, Genji is fine at the moment.

Disrupt one dash during his ult and you ruin his day.

Take away his mobility and you may as well just remove the character…

Because he’s a cyborg ninja :smiley:

He’s literally a Ninja.

Considering that everyone either runs or focus fires an ulting Genji that plus one to mobility really never helps

does he have a higher walk speed? its hard to tell since hes mostly in ball form when moving around which obviously makes him faster. Though i do suppose you could count ball mode as his normal form and his battle form is something different if you want to be like that

I’m going to take a stand against this and say she really doesn’t need this. If you want to argue that Sombra needs buffs, that’s fine, I’m not going to argue she doesn’t. She just doesn’t need this buff. She has plenty of mobility as it is, and she doesn’t need to be able to kite Winston and Reinhardt by merely holding the ‘S’ key. In fact, I don’t even think Genji and Tracer should be able to. We don’t need to make main tanks even more frustrating to play by adding another hero that can simply walk out of their range.

If you’re complaining about genji in 2018 ,and even going as far as to saying he can kill a mercy out of the sky ,then get good.

-It’s a melee attack such as reinhardt’s swing. They both go through shields.

-I see you are playing at low plat, maybe your lucios do not know that you have to boop genji AFTER he uses dash.

-Any stun will at least steal 2 seconds of his ult even without team focus.

-I don’t know if you are interested in statistics but as a 400 hours genji main i can deflect 30% of flashbangs after the deflect nerf. It’s range is very long actually a GOOD mccree can stun you easily.

-Dude these are all unusual, in my perspective genji is the most bugged hero ever. Countless times i missed my swings due to ghost blade against mercy. You can slash+dash and finish her only if she is low. Any good mercy can run away after first slash.

Hammond’s walk speed is the same, yes.

Ballform is still here much comparable to Genji’s increased walk speed (tracer walk speed, and more so soldier run) , whereas the hook speed boost is more like Genji’s dash.

This made me laugh… I think Brig mains use the same logic. The reality is dive being too dominant is due primarily to D.va, Genji and Tracer movement primarily. Unless that should change, we are stuck with needing hard counters to them.

There’s nothing wrong with Dive being Dominant, it’s a meta to which coordination and team play is key.

In fact I would much prefer to play with and against Dive rather than the “Hanzo & Zarya” combo or “Widow and Brig” Meta, yes the Hanzo or Widow would need crazy aim, but due to a brigitta protecting them, killing them is nearly impossible and they have the advantage at long distances.

Many I think would, but Blizzard prefers this not be the dominant style and is looking for something more balanced. I personally like a more balanced style, though if I had to pick one alternative it would be dive just for the pace of play…

I would say Dive is pretty balanced.

Furthermore I disagree about the reason due to which it’s so popular, it’s the Matrix and Shield during the Dive.

Ever wonder why no one picks Reaper to counter the diving tanks? Cause the Matrix and Winston shield make him useless for the time the enemy team needs to kill a Support for example.

Balance is a perspective, but I think maybe the supports might disagree on that one :slight_smile:

You are using your own opinion to justify him NOT getting nerfed

Genji only uses this passive mobility to erase mistakes on his own part

Genji must’ve forgot to check the ridiculously high dps box
