Genji's Deflect Melee Damage

It only makes sense that We’d take damage from melee’ing into Genji’s Deflect. It would hurt to put your fingers in there.

And it would also create alot of suspense when you are trying to time your melee attack for RIGHT after he cancels. If you it too early, you die. If you do it perfectly (assuming he doesnt have a dash) he dies.

you still have to do so, it does not reflect melee dmg but it does block it.

Yes it also would make sense that reinhards melee would bend genjis arms like a spoon if he tries to deflect a huge hammer like that. So it only makes sense reinhards melee attack instant kills everything

Yes. But the genji change would be fine in terms of balance. Rein oneshotting everything wouldn’t

Genji’s pretty close to being too powerful, so he doesn’t need a new way to do damage.
If he’s low enough to kill with melee while you’re praying he doesn’t get his dash back in time to kill you instead before you land a punch, you really don’t want to be worrying about punching yourself to death.

It’s just nice that he can’t reflect everything.

i can see your point. fair take indeed !

Sure, but first change deflect so you need to press it each time you want to deflect a shot.

You are joking right? deflecting melees would basicly turn the deflecting skill into a complete immunity wich can also damage enemies.

he already is pretty strong, and tons of mobility, No need to improve his deflecting into a i-win button
