Because they are leveling their account. And mmr will go up, or down, depending in how you do, so they’ve obviously climbed quickly to that point and will be long gone before your next game.
Its qp… most games like that happen because your teams a mess. Stand QP stuff. The enemy are better and you can’t over come it without a plan, and that doesn’t happen in qp.
Maybe duo with AllMight as you have exactly the same issues.
^ read please…
its fine though, i will just keep leaving matches untill i find one that i accept as balanced… no skin off my nose, i get instant queues, and with the new priority pass i can even play DPS with no waiting
You know you do exactly what AllMight does. And write like him. Small world.
You think they are better than you?? Time to either practice and improve, or just get over it.
You can keep leaving all you like. I don’t really care what you do.
Me personally I’d just work out how I can play better. But thats just me.
can’t work around broken, best just to wait and wait and leave and wait untill you get what you’re looking for, as ive said, no skin off my nose, if people want to play matches they can’t win let them, im not sticking around wasting my time
Your attitude is “if I can’t have fun I’ll spoilt it for everyone else”.
Cool. My little brother used to do that when we played games. Stop doing it when he realised he looked silly. He is 6.
genji can nuke a little yeah, but that’s basically his cooldown and right click, but genji don’t have DPS which means he’s not gonna do a lot of damage overall, just go for opportunities which is why i personally think he’s a bad character because he exists in a state of uselessness and overpowered at the same time.
as i’ve said before, genji is either straight useless or he’s pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
and being on a team with or against a character like that doesn’t feel very fun or rewarding because basically you are either fighting uphill or it’s a steamroll.
it’s the turn around that genji can do that’s actually the most BS this game have to offer.
from heavily losing a fight to instantly win it.
i don’t really care about his damage output or his combos, it’s more so the deflect and the ultimate combined with swiftstrike that makes him a menace to me.
but as is, i’ve accepted that he’s a character that won’t really be changed in any meaningful way away from that so i’ve made my peace with it, i did the same with tracer aswell.
i hate them, but if other people are fine with it, i’m not gonna be a stick in the mud about it.
all i’m gonna do is remind people of the fact that “genji does genji things” or “what did you expect? they have tracer” kind of comments.
and really that’s all i can do about it, just point out how ridiculous these 2 characters can be and how basically not much matters in this game because it’s not being played by the majority in a way in where it is actually balanced.
echo has more normal pressure and punish type of tools aswell as a more standard escape tool, however the ability to basically fly and maneuver gives her a lot of mobility freedom that a lot of dps don’t have which is reason enough to pick her with her base kit, but her ultimate is also really good.
it barely passes genjis ult due to echo being able to use tank ultimates on a dps role.
as far as genjis kit goes it’s very unconventional and can make upsets happen no matter what, that’s the power of genji, not really the power of the player exactly. a player can only do so much with the kit they have at their disposal, and genjis kit can go far and beyond anyone elses and that’s really not much due to the players themselves.
basically anyone can pull a bunny out of a hat if they are given the magicians hat that’s supposed to do it, therefor anything “special” genji does isn’t really all that special, it’s just genji stuff.
also i wouldn’t necesssarily call the newer characters flat out better than the OG because they are newer.
i think there’s a lot of space that’s been unexplored regarding a lot of this game because you don’t really see pros experimenting and what happens in ladder is too random to take seriously that you can’t say for certain was a good or a bad idea, so the prevailing meta just seems better because it’s practiced and people can organize better with a common ground to play around.
i mean i wouldn’t be surprised to see rein/orisa be meta, but we’ll probably won’t see it because it’s not figured out yet how it should play.
Genji isn’t broken.
He is strong.
A good genji is good to have on your team, but not an automatic game winner. It seems from OP’s post, he is more concerned with smurfs than with Genji.
I am NOT a Genji player, my speciality is hitscan, put me on any kind of projectile based hero and I will underperform. If I was to play Genji in my current rank, I would be flamed out of the lobby. Same for Doom, Mei, Hanzo, etc etc.
As much as I loathe to admit it, Genji takes a particular skillset that I simply don’t have, despite him being in the same category as tracer, my main hero. I’d like to learn Genji but I don’t want to drop the probably 700SR required and throw those games playing him.
Genji, like many other heroes, has his strengths and weaknesses. Put him against low mobility, squishy targets, like widow and he will shine. Put him against anti dive heroes like Torb, Brig, Mei, etc - he will struggle.
The problem lies again in bad coordination. A Genji who can punish mistakes without feeding is going to cause problems for your team unless you coordinate against him. The same goes for Echo, Tracer, Doom, and any other high mobility hero, (including tanks, like Ball).
As a final note, in ALL tiers, Genji is middle of the pack for winrate and only has a high pickrate in Platinum and Diamond.
Yet to find out what his weakness is
because he is picked on both sides, and only one side can win, this statistic is useless in determining how powerful hero’s are
nope, im in gold and 9 out of 10 games has a genji in it
CC & high HP pools.
He has a pickrate of 14% in gold, so 9/10 games is flat out lying.
He is really not as strong as you make him out to be. Take mccree, take mei, anything that slows him down.
Weakness…
CC, Beams.
Range and spash damage if effective against him.
Unless the player is getting quick blades (and maybe getting help with them (nano, bubble, whatever)). He is bordering on a throw pick.
I’ve lost count of the amount of games lost because we couldn’t get the Genji into fights and enable him to do his thing. Then the Genji player doesn’t swap so we are at a disadvantage.
Deflect, Dash, Range, and projectiles with a shotgun on his alt fire
seeing as i am not in 100% of all games played its not, he is in 9 out of 10 of my personal games, which could easily fit within that 14% of games played
uses deflect
stays out of range
with his mobility and invulnerability, nothing does
Tbf. People probably see you in the game and pick Genji knowing you are unable to deal with them.
Thats called countering your enemy and more proof of smart, skilled, game play.
But Genjis trying to deflect a Zarya beam or Mei freeze is a hilarious to watch.
they don’t have to, with their speed and mobility they just out range you
Genji at range just feeds zaryas charge. And can’t do enough to kill Mei and will just feed your support heros ult charges.
nope he gets his own ult charge then its press Q to win
poke poke, shurican dash, 180 melee then dash out
I just grav his ults. Usually does the trick.
Or if I’m on ball, and I know he has ult ill sit with supports and mine when he his Q. At best he gets one and then dies in the mines.
so 1 graved dragon blade every 5 or 6 blades?.. yeah that will help you win… NOT!
Well, I’ve had a game where I’ve done it every blade.
Some where I’ve done it to most.
But even stopping them getting value from one ult is enough to win a fight.
Even with Nanoblade, Genji is decent at best in his current state. WIthout Nano he’s basically D-tier
