Is there some kind of limit to how much he can be deflecting at once which would make a stun from practically straight on go through the deflect?
Gengi is a weak hero and its sad

There is no limit on how much he can deflect.
Pro tip: never directly hit a genji with flash

Deflect is like DM, theres no “damage” or “number” limit, its time based.
Regarding Mcree Flash, you can deflect the flash itself, but not the effect. If you flash the wall and when the flashbang explodes, that hitbox hits a Genji deflecting, that Genji is stunned.

If McCree flashes above genji he can still stun him. If Genji is hopping around McCree can flash below him. If its me playing McCree Genji can deflect flashbang from across the map in his spawn and my Q button is to teleport to a killfeed.

Flashbang flies a short distance and then explodes with a very small AoE. With practice you can aim it (either at walls or at the correct distance) so that the Flashbang will explode juuust before it hits Deflect but he’ll still be in the AoE of the stun.

Pretty much any McCree that knows what they’re doing will never have their stun deflected because deflect is super wonky with it. Not only can McCree throw it to the side or above Genji, but I swear he’s thrown it right at me and the deflect still failed.
The only time it gets deflected is if the McCree throws it directly at the center, so it’s almost useless. Not to mention it’s hard enough to bait and time stun grenade as it is.
What do you mean?
On the grenade itself? Or explosion?
Grenade it works as intended, splash damage cannot be deflected.
False statement is false.
Care to back that up?
Every new character added to the roster directly counters him. He has had 0 buffs and too many nerfs.
The power creep has left him a bad pick.
There is little synergy with him also
Since when? Brig and Moira are the only 2 that come to mind.
Which is why he’s well into the top 1/3 pickrate average of the whole roster with a balanced average winrate?
Right… stats are against you on this one.
Nanoblade? GravBlade? Shatter blade? BlizzardBlade?
But I guess synergy isn’t as big of a deal when you deflect ults and abilities.
Besides that, Genji is a very independent hero more than capable of finishing off enemies or 1v1ing them.
This sounds like a case of basing your arguments on your own prowess with the hero rather than actual stats.

He is probably one of the best DPS in the game along with Widow, Hanzo, Tracer and Sombra,
I’ll tell you what I told my friend:
Just because you can’t deflect it, doesn’t mean it counters you.

He is literally the most unique and fun to play. With a huge skill ceiling thats why hes picked so much.
Id love to hear from ganji mains. Every genji main iv talked to says he hasnt been effective since brig.
Sombra monkey doom baptist brig mei mcree phara are all hard counters with little counterplay.
Maybe im just tired of playing countereatch. This game has lost its appeal of skillful interplay.
Now its become more a team game with no game mechanics to incentivise team building

not if the mccree player is good
deflect is such hot trash now you can just shoot outside of it’s hitbox and murder genji so literally 70-80% of damage sources in the game now flat out ignore deflect as an ability 
Just flash the floor instead of genji.
Problem solved…
no there isn’t.
It’s just that this game is filled with super buggy hitboxes. And with reduced hitbox size for deflect, it’s very common for things to go through deflect.
3 years and they still didn’t manage to fix some very known bugs. So i doubt this’ll get a fix anytime soon.
But if you’re hoping for a bug fix, Just find any type of fun while using a bug and blizz will IMMEDIATELY fix it. Like how they immediately fixed the giant spray on numbani door bug, or genji dash jump, etc.
Game breaking ones, broken mechanics, etc. like wallclimb not working properly, or deflect not actually doing its job or rein shatter working as intended or doomfist actually doing what’s expected or torb turret hitting through walls and so, won’t get fixed so easily.

That’s how it alway was. The changes to deflect hitbox did not changed that.
No, it’s easier now.
Soldier can literally rocket genji for full damage by shooting at his feet
