Genji’s deflect is described as follows :
“Deflect incoming projectiles towards the direction you are aiming and block melee attacks”
Sigma’s E ability - Accretion, is described as a projectile.
Genji should be able to deflect it back, or at least have him destroy it on impact.
If Genji is able to deflect Zarya’s ult, Mei’s ult, which are far more impactful than Sigma’s E, he should definetly be able to deflect it.
Yeah, Sigma is broken.
He could even ignore Whip Shot and Hook when he came out.
They always release new heroes waaaaay too overcooked. It seems so short-sighted to me. 
Genji should definitely deflect it. And as much as that whole Dash-reset mechanic is BS (imo) it’s not like Genji is meta or in every game.
Sorry the last part caught me off guard, what do you mean by the dash reset mechanic?
Agreed, it’s definitly a problem and that requires changes.
my main issue is not even the fact that genji CANT deflect it, it’s the fact that it doesnt even get blocked by deflect.
They least they could do would be allowing genji to not be stunned by it mid deflect, destroying the projectile.
Best case scenario is a deflectable projectile
I agree, genji should be squashed like a bug due to the kinetic energy involved with being hit by something with that mass going that fast
I mean being hit by a large car sized object going in excess of 70mph cant be “deflected” by a human sized object in any capacity… and what we want is realism not super heros with amazing physics defying abilities
What about a black hole? Last time i checked the mass is ridiculously high so at least blocking a rock would make sense.
I know, he shouldn’t be able to deflect that either, or half a tone of german powered rocket hammer, or projectiles traveling above the speed of sound or energy balls
I mean really? how are we supposed to play this obviously broken game… as ive said we want realism not heros with physics defying abilities
blizzard please fix the game so that the only things that can happen are actual real life things
Hey!
I mean it’s too hard to track or play around.
He gets a Swift Strike reset for assists, and there’s no visual effect to indicate when he (YOU?!?!) does. I think it should be killing blows only (apart from during Blade, when Assists should activate the reset.)
But I’m sure others disagree. 
b r u h, you’re in a game where people have black holes in a weapon, people are brought back to life, and people can literally control gravity
There is no realism in this game. if you want that then almost every single hero in the game would get restricted to basic things that actually are possible in present day.
Plus, genji is mechanically enhanced, sure it’s ridiculous how crazy fast he would have to deflect to actually deflect all of the projectiles that are thrown at him, but nothing in this game makes sense, stop crying about the “unrealistic” aspect of the game
What i suggested is literally due to the fact that genji deflects PROJECTILES, and sigma’s E is a projectile
someone doesn’t understand sarcasm 
apparently i didnt 
wopsie
It really should not because genji’s deflect is special but because sigma’s rock is different.
Sigma’s rock is a physical attack witch means it can surpass some defensive abilities such as a dm. So are brig’s whip and hog’s hook. (Note: Whip and hook are also treated like projectiles too even if they have that chain, it’s just a visual)
The thing is sigma’s rock can go through deflect witch brakes the rule. I think at some point it will be fixed.
I totally agree, genji should be able to throw the rocks back at the thrower.
Not because genji deflect is special.
It is just not interacting right, because sigma’s rock is a projectile, which should be deflectable.
If genji is able to deflect other projectiles, including sigma’s basic attacks, and physical attacks , like roadhog hook, genji should not just be completely destroyed by a rock.
The least they should do, is make it like doom’s punch, you get slightly knocked back, but absorb the damage and stun from it.
Ideally the rock destroys on impact.
As a genji player, id hope its deflectable, to make sigma less of an “op” pick, considering he does so much while being hardly contested for it.
It’s ok to have counterplay to a hero with abilities, i dont see why genji shouldnt be able to protect himself from this type of projectile cc with his only actually defensive ability.
It feels inconsistent when i manage to deflect a grav, a doomfist punch, a junkrat mine, and then get stunned and die instantly to that projectile.
sigma is a wimp, and is easily countered, the problem is people like you don’t like playing the heros that counter him
I.e, Sym, Mei, Bastion <— all sigma destroyers
No, my issue is not that he is “op”, sigma is free ult charge, even for genji lmao
My issue is the inconsistency of the projectile interaction between a deflect, which is meant to deflect ANY projectiles, and a literal definition of projectile
it “was” meant to deflect any projectile, when it was first designed… things change, OW today is nothing like OW beta, or how it was on launch…
stop crying that your favourite and arguably most bloated/op hero cant do “literally everything always forever because you want it”… and learn to play other things and counter things when necessary
I mean i have over 300 hours on all the other dps combined, so that’s not a problem
Plus, this interaction is not a problem that would even stop me from playing genji into sigma.
And if genji deflect is meant to be changed, it should come in patch notes, and have a changed description of the ability.
Sigma being able to hit a deflecting genji should be stated as a feature, which is not.
If they just claim that sigma’s E is NOT a projectile, im ok with it.
many many many many MANY MANY!!! things… get left out of patch notes… because blizzard doesn’t spend money on literally anything including hero development/description, Quality control, etc etc etc… sometimes you just have to live with it and accept that now blizzard have your money, they don’t care what you think or feel until the next time they want your money “cough OW2 cough”…
this comes down to an asinine argument over what is and is not a projectile?..
a boulder is not a projectile… it is an accelerated lump of rock… a car is not a projectile, it is a vehicle, (even if someone throws it at you) a hook is not a projectile… it is a hook, half a tone of rocket powered sledge hammer is not a projectile (yet deflect can block all of its damage and any of its kinetic force)
balls of explosive hard light energy are not a projectile, they are photons with mass, firestrike is not a projectile, it is a pillar of compressed fire… etc etc ad infinitum
so descriptions and effects can be different without ever having to be dedicated or “claimed” to be different
happy now?
