why not change genji dash / deflect CD instead?

instead of 1 damage and nerf his ult

maybe try other thing other than increase his damage?
why every dps need to be deal high damage to be viable

  1. u could maybe reduce deflect cd to 6 sec, but reduce the duration back to 1.5 sec again
    make him be able to play more agresive with faster deflect, and bait enemy cd and to shoot him, giving some space to his team

  2. u could maybe buff dash, give it bleed effect in beta
    added extra 5 damage / second for 5 sec

  3. u could maybe give him 100 armor, to make him more tough, since he part cyborg afterall

  4. u could maybe give him 100 shield, so he dont need much healing? and can be harraser hit and run

  5. u could give him infinite will climb

like u could give him one of these things

why give him boring +1 damage, just like average dps

we allready have hard hitter flanker dps like echo / doom / tracer, why need to forward genji direction into that also?

I’ve stated I hate flagging and I’ll never do it but you need to relax. This is exactly what he needed. A Power shift. This blade nerf is not going to destroy him and I’m excited that they’ve heard our requests and gave him a meaningful buff that won’t break him while also not removing nanoblade but addressing it as well

I’m so glad some reasonable genji mains/genji supporters are finally speaking out against this nonsense.

Thank you so much honestly.

I’m very vocal about how people shouldn’t have been so surprised about the buffs he got. But like the experimental has been live for like 24 hours at most and its exactly what we’ve been asking for. I will never flag anyone here for any reason. But like it’s been a day and people are already spamming non stop when A. We all asked for this and got it and B. You only need to make 1 thread. Not 1000

I still say I’m not a fan of the fact that people flagged this thread because I’m against that type of thing, but can we try to keep it to a few threads over a set period of time and not 10 in the span of 45 minutes?

he probably be more fun to play, able to secure kill from his base kit

but since his power still reside on nano blade

then his winrate might be lower in result

i hope when blizzard see that his winrate got lowered they adress it right away, not leave them in the dust

He’s objectively better outside of his ultimate, while he lost the ability to one slash 250 hp heroes. That effects 250 he heroes but also leaves plenty of time to kill them. Flat out removing damage boosting blade is a terrible idea and they know that, that would put him in the ground. This middle ground will make him viable

i guess we see on coming months

because while nano blade is not that effected outside 250 HP

but his naked blade are just become alot weaker, u basicly need 3 slash a mcree now

and 200 hp with any healing will need also 3 slash, up from 2, even sometimes 4 slash on 200 required if they got ana healing them

i know because i test it on experimental, trying to blade without any damageboost is suicide

Then we could compromise and make DB Blade and Nanoblade weaker while leaving regular blade relatively the same power. We slightly nerfed damage, so just slightly buff swing speed. That way the important parts of Nano and DB Blade get nerfed, but regular blade has relatively the same output.

Blade was nerfed to 110, so something like 0.8 swing speeds seems fair, we don’t really have to speed it up beyond that.

No. 2 slashes does 220. Add a dash to that and he’s dead.
