Having no counters =/= not having a 100% effective hero that completely gimps him.

Your overwatchā¦
thats with the guy named freedo that says stuff you can barely understand right?
āthe footsy battleā -freedo in any video
what exactly does this mean?
I dont think your overwatch is credible at all, theyre just for entertainment.
In my opinion, Genji isnāt OP. Hes a specialist hero, meaning that hes only really OP when the player is extremely good at the hero. That doesnt make him OP, just everyone that plays him most likely plays him, or has played him for a significant amount of time.
itās better than the forum people thinking they know better. at least jeff and others on the OW team listen to them in person or on calls/chat.

Yeah, hitting with nano blade people not even on the screen with no aim required and having no reliable counters is deserving. As if.

thats not saying much
yeah just because people have a say doesnāt mean itās a good say
didnt say literally everyone and he has his uses. Iāve got some great plays with him over the last year and contributed a lot as him. heās just not good in every situation. you know like most heroes

Iām aware never said it was a huge difference but the latter part of my comment was at least to show they can at least have an influence.
itās still a better say than those almost everyone here. people only want to play meta but end up losing to off meta comps and rage in all ranks.

Itās less about genji and more about dragonblade.
Thereās literally 1 ability to block it and thatās zarya bubble which canāt even block the duration of it.
I blame genji for Brigitte being added to the game more than tracer. I love how people try to defend dragon blade giving lists of counters, but he has so much survivability with being able to dash out of ultimates like blizzard or mines while also being able to deflect any projectile that might be used to stop him.
What can soldier or mccree do with their ultimates on that kind of level? Itās a no brainer, dragon blade is far superior to every damage ultimate in the game.

Weāll Iāve said it for years at this point.
Of any hero he literally has the most escapes and most mobility. Double jumps, dashes that even reset, deflects, high base mobility, an ult that makes him basically fly when he runsā¦
Yeah I donāt get why people keep saying Iām wrong saying Genji is balanced when he is clearly the most offensive example of ābalanceā Iāve seen in gaming in ages.
And yet ontop of this he has the single most consistent high damage AOE ultimate in the entire game that goes through shields and the rest.
Heās flat out broken.

Too many people have the mindset of a ācounterā should be able to outright kill the hero they counter with little effort involved.
If you deny the hero from doing their job without killing them then you already succeed in countering him.

This is pretty bad analysis tbh. Every part of Brigittes kit is anathema to how Tracer wants to do things (distract with poke, quickly clean up out of position targets) because of how much Brig zones her and how much her armor over heal affects her damage.
Genji is not as effected by Brig because he operates on the vertical plane which Brig cannot touch and the breakpoints she introduces arenāt really relevant for Blade. They do put a damper on non-ult assassin potential but that is never where Genjis main impact was.

Genji is balanced, neither does he need buff nor nerfs.

Genji may not have really good hard counters but a lot of heroes are an even fight for him.
The new torb buff made him even more of a counter.
Also he is by far the easiest hero to punish. Learn how to punish and he wonāt be a problem.
This is the same YouTube channel that said in a video that Mei and Reaper didnāt needed buffs because they were already viable in Dive and that Dva shouldnāt receive any nerfs, which were just announced, even though she too had an above 90% pickrate.
Please donāt take that channel too serious.
Itās great that there are YouTube channels that are trying to spread the news and updates, but they are still players with their own opinions. Their opinions isnāt always right. Itās better to crate your own opinion.

Never forget that YourOverwatch said that Hogās hook was not a projectile and was in fact a ādelayed hitscanā even after blizzard had publicly said that it was a projectile.
YourOverwatch is trash.

Youāre right. One person whose job it is to create news and therefore has motivation to deliberately mislead or misportray to create more tension, drama and controversy said Genji has no counters, therefore Genji must be nerfed. 
Support main here too: Genji is the less of anybodyās problems.
If Genji has no counters then why was the previous cry of the months Brigitte and Doomfist?
Also like others have pointed out Your Overwatch at times say some daft things. During triple tank Friedo did a video why you should counter that with tracer.
Someone thankfully did a reply video with evidence to show how bad an idea that is and the ridiculous amount of things she would need to be valuable in a team fight. Your Overwatch has decent ideas but like Stylosa they give bad or suboptimal advice
here you go
