“We’re always working on improving the game.”

Maybe start by fixing it?

Genji’s Deflect, Reinhardt’s Charge, Brigitte’s only-buggy-since-nerf Shield Bash, all of Doomfist’s abilities, Torbjorn’s Forge Hammer-all have so many collision issues that really should have been sorted out by now.

Happens to me too. I thought maybe the bullets were still traveling and they somehow still hit me before I got the deflect off but bastion is hitacan so it wouldn’t make sense

You have huge ping thou.

It’s blizzard. Don’t expect anything.

genji is one of the most broken OP heros with the most mobility, speed and skinnist hitbox, AND!.. has 2… count them TWO get out of being ganked buttons on short cooldown and one of them is on a bloody reset even if he so much as sneezes on an enemy before its killed

as the other people would say… GIT GUD!.. genji is last on the list of heros that need help… right before tracer

A hero being very strong or weak doesn’t make it more or less OK for them to have bugs.
If somebody starts shooting at you and you’re fast enough to react and start deflecting you should not be robbed of that performance due to a bug regardless of how “OP” Genji is.

High ping + favour the shooter = bastion won… thats all i see here, no bugs at all

I mean i would indeed agree, that this is more than likely the case, but in favour the shooter aspects i don´t see that many cases of the enemy perspective even showing the abilities get used. You can quite clearly see in the Killcam, that genji uses deflect, which is a little weird.

same thing as when you’re mcree, throw a flashbang, it connects but nothing happens, 1 year later genji deflects, and somehow throws it back at you… and the same thing shown on the killcam when you inevitably die…

personally i’m glad this happened… just shows the genji player how irritating it is to have the game go “yeah… i know what you saw… but NOPE.AVI!”

Sadly I have to agree, as the animation for deflect is seen by bastion it was too late.

Favor the shooter…

It’s bug.
And you know that Overwatch will fix this.
It will just take like… 2 years just like it did to fix the “bug” that Mercy was able to DMG boost Hanzos ultimate and also D.vas. :cherry_blossom:

This happens to me as well and way too often. There should be a fix asap.

This is very disrespectful towards people who dedicated time and effort to learn how to play this really difficult high skill ceiling hero instead of playing moira, brig and reaper to get from silver to diamond without effort.

So… maybe remove this? because troll posts should be flagged anyway.
People think they can say whatever the hell they want nowadays, and it is true anyone should be able to give their opinion. Although, perhaps you should think before posting something (“is my post rational?”).

I can agree on that, but on stats his just a joke compared to the real meta.
Nano blade can be stop’d by so many things in 2019 its not even worth doing anymore.

50 average ping = high apparantly

50 is a lot.
If you play Widow vs Widow with 50 ping you’ll see how big of a difference it makes once you’re peaking corners. When i had 50+ ping id get killed behind cornets non stop. On 20+ atm and its drastically lowered.

shruggo. I’ve had upwards of 65 ping in most matches with no noticeable delays.

i don’t ever play widow because i personally think she’s boring, so i guess i wouldn’t know about the 1v1s

The delay isn’t “huge” but its there thanks to the P to P connection.
If you have better internet, you can compensate for your opponents having a worse one. But it comes to a cap since if the opp upload speed is slower then your download it will still mess you up a little.
And it matters how close you are to the servers as well.
But with 20 ping, i rarely have a delay problem on 50 i just hated facing hanzo’s arrows that seemed to miss me by a little yet ended up hitting me, or when i corner peak.
