he’s not tho
literally in more games than not, and always ruins the game with how broken he is
He isn’t broken.
Broken would imply that the game breaks, or crashes completely.
You don’t enjoy playing against him. That is all and is a perfectly fine view to have.
I don’t “enjoy” playing against a good Genji… But that is because I am not good enough, so I see it as a challenge to get better at what I am doing.

He is though
thats not what broken means or has ever meant in this context
no, he needs to be nerfed so that higher skilled players can’t abuse him in the lower ranks, thats all that needs to happen, thats what happened when brig was released and it was heaven
I know what context you meant it in… But I am trying to help you, as the language you are using is excessive and unhelpful for the problem you suffer.
The problem you have is a fun or skill based one. Not one of game breaking.
He really doesn’t need any changes.
Buff him to be meta again and the game is boring (as seen a few months ago).
Nerf him and then he will just be worse than the already pointless DPS hero that he is already.
I get that you don’t enjoy playing against a hero. But demanding he is nerfed because better players can beat you is bordering on ridiculous.
They have put in a lot of time and effort to get good at what they do. So nerfing them because someone who has stated they have no interest in getting good at the game is upset about it… The answer is simple.
Tough luck my friend.
As for ranks… if they are that good, they will climb quickly. So it wont be an issue past that one match.
Can you actually provide any arguments as to why he’s broken, I have noticed you in a couple of threads and you rarely provide anything other than “but I’m right” which is rather childish and unconstructive. Don’t invite to a discussion if you aren’t actually going to participate in it in a meaningful manner.
Where are you coming from that Genji to you is a broken hero? Because when looking at the top level of player he’s one a very niche hero and a bad pick in the current meta overall. The last time he was relevant was when he was buffed so he was actually useful outside of his ult which got partially reverted/nerfed so he was useless again.
Mercy is obscenely popular but it’s been years since she was broken…
its not helping, its trolling
its a smurf/power based one - genji is too powerful I.E broken at the lower ranks in the hands of smurfs and other people who are far too skilled for the ranks they are playing in
he needs nerfing, be it his damage, his mobility, his survivability, something needs to change, he does everything too well
he’s not pointless, he is played in almost every match, and he is always one of the most useful hero’s on whichever team he is on, he is a guaranteed fight winner because he can 1v6 an entire team every minute
great, then they need to F off to the higher ranks then and stop ruining my games
more trolling huh?
nope, because smurfs actively avoid climbing, that is the problem you continue to gloss over and ignore to make your argument appear valid
AllMight. Everything is trolling to you so it is tricky to be helpful.
But your posts are, as Avian has said, unhelpful and trolling in themselves.
So, either accept they are just better players and you can’t win. Or learn how to out play them.
Remember skill doesn’t = rank
I know a guy who has insane aim on Widow… but is dumb as it gets in playing the actual game. Never gets higher than plat/diamond border.
once again i will state it clearly
Too much damage,
too much survivability
too much mobility
team fight wining ult, which he can do so solo
invulnerability button
dash, which does damage, and offers mobility/escape AND! gets reset if he so much as tickles an enemy before it dies
too much speed so you can’t even disengage from him
projectile weapon so his aim doesn’t need to be great because of the projectiles huge hitbox
speaking of hitboxes, his is tiny, added to his mobility makes him impossible to hit even if you get the opportunity to do so
forget about CC’ing him because he will either deflect it 5 years after you’ve thrown it at him, or will stay out of range of it
need i go on?.. he once was the Omniblade, blizzard cut the hero in half and made the shimada brothers because they were afraid the omniblade was too powerful, they cut the hero in half and made two heros that are still too powerful…
he is broken, always has been broken, and because of people like nightwing, will always remain broken
now that i have told you why he is broken, i don’t need to do so again, ever again, as in never…
Can I just immediately remove one of those…
“team fight winning ult”
Most ults are team fight winning. The best on atm in the high ranks is Brigs atm.
But I will let Avian answer your queries as he is a much better player than I am.
29 damage per shuriken and has to land all 3 for max damage. He can do good burst if he hits all 3 in the head but that’s not something even the best do a lot.
How? Because of Deflect? The hitbox has been nerfed where you can be deflecting someone and still be hit by that person.
Runs a bit faster than other heroes (same speed as Tracer), can double jump which is where he’s most predictable for shots, he can wall climb to get elevation but it’s also buggy.
It’s 120 damage per swing and very hard to get value from without nano. There are so many things that can shut him down these days.
Yeah no, like I said before the hitbox is reduced and he’s not “invulnerable” from every angle, he’s not even invulnerable as beam damage still goes through…
It’s also his only burst of mobility he has. If it’s wasted then he should be dead unless someone on his team bails him out.
Wow wow wow, this is just false. Projectile does not equal less aim requirement. Hitscan is easier because if you click the button when you are on their head the damage is instant, you have to take movement into account with projectile, he also has certain ranges he has to play in for optimal damage. Shurikens are also the smallest projectile hitbox in the game tied with Hanzo’s arrows.
He’s really not that small, like I said before he’s also very predictable if he jumps. Watch this to see his actual hitbox vs. visual and compare it to other heroes. Time stamped for Genji
Again, Deflect is kinda trash now, it’s very easy for a McCree to flash around his Deflect.
He has been broken, but it was initially a long time ago, and had a very short period again during the summer. However overall he’s kinda bad.
I think what you need to accept is that it’s a you problem and not a Genji is broken problem.

most ults can be countered or mitigated, genji’s can only be done so by trans, which takes forever to build up, even if you have a zen, and if not he just harrasses the zen untill the zen blows his ult, then ults himself
i think what you need to accept is what is written on paper and in theory, is not what actually happens in game
on paper he may be fine, in game he is broken
Trans, Beat, even Valk and Rally if he isn’t nano’d
Then is the more niche options… Grav, Whole Hog, Blizzard. and more niche Visor, Shatter, Dead Eye. All options that mean he either has to die mid blade, or take action to avoid, meaning he can’t do damage.
My points are literally a reflection of what’s on paper and what happens in game. In most ranks where people know what they are doing, Genji is bad. If you are not in that rank, then it’s on you to improve to the point where you can deal with it or accept it and live with it.

smurfs… the genji isn’t bad, everyone else is because he can’t be dealt with
That’s a completely different issue, a smurf would dominate on any hero really. That has absolutely nothing to do with Genji being broken.
Nope, smurfs start out on Mcree, or soldier, and when they start losing they switch to genji and all of a sudden they start face rolling the entire enemy team
You have nothing to support this, Genji being broken is nothing more than your opinion, you can keep believing that but it doesn’t make it true. Genji is probably one of the heroes in need of a buff atm.

All of your responses of deflect are exactly why they are good/niche answers.
If he blades and has to press deflect… he is wasting blade time giving your team space and time to move/head/counter.
Yeah. I think he needs more help in the neutral engages.
The buff he got in the past was on the right road. But if you do that, ult generation needs to be reduced accordingly, to balance it out.
But a bad player getting blade quickly is still a bad player and they will probably get little to no value from the blade.
Yes, his neutral game is kinda appalling atm. A powershift would be fine IMO.
