you cannot have a game based on Rock, Paper, Scissors, where you can swap your heros mid match as competitive
it doesn’t work, it never has worked, it never will work
For this game it works, because the game is made in that way so that it permits it. If it wasn’t like that then what your team choses and what the opponent chooses would be anonymus and it’d be a rock, paper scissors to how the match would reveal to become. It’d be a massive slot machine run where you pick a hero unknowing what the opponents picked. It would be a bigger mess than the game already is.
Being able to change grants counter play to prevent that R.P.S situation. But then again…
sighs you obviously don’t understand… having a competitive mode and being competitive are two different things
not wasting anymore time… bye
If you are competitive you would expect a competitive design to the rank mode.
That includes hero designs and how the mode is made to be.
and its not… but it still exists… expectation vs reality
I agree, it’s not that competitive to play ranked because even tho some heroes needs to be balanced for it and the mode made in a competitive way there’s still the MM-system that can make the game non-competitive with various matchings of braincells.
Imo ranked would be more endurable if Junkrat was locked from Ranked and genji got a bigger hitbox or something.
It’s the 2 biggest issues i have with OW and im excluding the bad MM-system which is a 3rd issue.
if you are locking heros you have to lock all of them, genji included, they tryed that people complained about it
junkrat is garbage tier in all but the lowest levels of play genji is a broken mess hence why he’s played all the time everywhere
Junkrat IS garbage tier but him being low teir doesn’t stop him to be able to hit a random grenade lobb to a random target he has not specifically intended to hit and one of his allies one-shotting the remaining hp of that same target by coincedence.
Disgusting to die like that, you didn’t get killed by intention but by accident. BS like that happens too much in this game. I don’t find that competitive for instance.
doesn’t stop a random genji suriken getting a kill on a random target, or a random deflected anything getting a kill on something he has not specifically inteded to hit… or a dash clipping someone it shouldn’t…
randomness happens when you have so much clutter flying around… its a part of the game and not individual to junkrat
True but you probably notice that it falls down to Genji and Junkrat.
Mcree is aim and shoot,
Reaper is aim and shoot
Soldier is aim and shoot
Widow is aim and shoot
Hanzo is aim and shoot
Phara is aim and shoot
Echo is aim and shoot
They don’t do massive AoE damage and they are more often than not shot towards a selected target.
Genji and Junkrat is not aim and shoot’ish heroes. They’re sweepers and spammers. Flies and Rats. 2 heroes that are the odd ones out that get kills thanks to the hero design and not individual skill. Adding individual experience to those 2 creates even a bigger mess that’s just not entertaining for anyone except for the 2 players playing them.
never died to a soldier because a rein dropped his shield, or randomly rounded a corner?
if so you’re lucky, this game is spam incarnate it doesn’t matter what hero you’re playing…
you could be playing as a widow half the map away and die to spam flung in your direction to keep you off the high ground
genji is too strong. can kill anyone tank dps heals in 1v1 so fast. insane ultimate charge time. rc dash rc is killing every supp or dps in 1 sec .

The buff was needed. Genji was easily shut down by any CC ability and wasn’t that effective against many heroes. I mean to be honest theres also a mercy in every game and noone really cared. How is this any different?
you play genji, your opinion is irrelevant because you are bias in favour of your favorite hero

I think this might be my first ever post here, but it’s due to what you’re saying. I don’t think I’ve ever found Overwatch less fun, I’m an Ana (ex Zen due to meta) main, who plays some hitscan DPS. Ana is so uninteresting to play right now, nano is basically a Genji ability or you’re throwing, and your positioning has to be so defensive, gone are the days of dueling genjis with mechanics because their new right click is INSANE. Hitscan heroes… Basically are now exclusively Ashe? Because dynamite has to be used on Genji. One man meta. I find him more oppressive than release Brig.

The worst part is you cant even escape it in qp. its feels no different to comp right now. Blizzard is just horrid at balancing and going back on changes. Why not just revert to how he was and go back to the drawing board. Instead they seem invested in continually alienating their fan base. No wonder overwatch is considered a dying game. Genji, a character i once respected has now ruined this game for the first time since released.

I can’t believe they haven’t removed Genji from the game yet.
