Alternative attack for Genji

Please add alternate attack for Genji with weapon switching, like Thorbjorn or Mercy. You already have sword attack animations, let the damage be like from shurikens, but so that we can play the whole game with sword, and leave the ultimate ability as it is.

hanzo also may wield the sword but he decided to use the bow, deal with it

What does Hanzo have to do with this if he is represented as an archer in the game, and the forum topic is about Genji and the desire to see alternative attack for him?

genji should not be touched, in early ow1 development he used to be the sword user, but the design was enough bad to deny this idea entirely and move his sword ability to ult only

melee attacks are too powerful for dps character which has XY movement ability.
close range targets are easy to kill, so:

  • if you have average dps from from the slice - you are dead
  • if you have his ult damage - you are too powerful
    there is no middle ground
