I don’t usually get mad over characters being buffed, nerfed, adjusted. I don’t care about it but i have almost 600 hours on genji, been playing him since season 1 and when he had 24 shurikens it was hell. I have played him on this new patch and i already dislike it. I have so many kills i cant confirm because im used to 30 shurikens.
In no way was Genji over performing for the 14 seasons since his buff, you barley see him played in the t500 leaderboard. Genji literally dominates hitscans. But he’s easily countered, he can’t deflect beams. He’s in no way over performing and needed the changes blizzard did.
Widow buffed, Hanzo buffed, Lifeweaver buffed? FREJA NOT EVEN NERFED BESIDES HER JUMP?? ILLARI BUFF?? these were NOT needed. blizzard just doing anything at this point, how do you leave genji untouched for about 14 seasons and suddenly you want to “adjust” him??
hitscans are going to dominate lobbies even more now, the 24 shurikens is not it, atleast increase the damage along with the projectile speed. How is someone supposed to get more than 2 elims with 24 shurikens? okay dumb rant im just over bl*zzard

I genuinely have no idea about why have they nerfed him... and I don't play him, so I should be rather happy I don't have to deal with being murdered by him as a ? But, thing is, he wasn't a problem. Even as Mercy. Sometimes he is, yes, just like everyone else, when the player was doing great personally, but feeling like he's too OP? Not at all. Freja feels much more OP, for example, and she got zero damage nerfs (how is her mobility a problem? It's her damage, if anything).
I like to think it's a joke because of the “nerf Genji meme”, so they'll give us Venture and Ramattra skins instead of Kiriko and Juno (we all know it's not).
Also can they stop nerfing Sombra? She's got about fifteen nerfs since Overwatch was released and maybe three buffs, and half of them were just reversing back to how she was before the nerf, not necessarily fully. She can't be played as a normal Sombra anymore. Most of the times she ends up with 4-10 because she just keeps dying. If anything, she needs to go back to rework 1 or before and adjust numbers, or at least a buff to compensate with how illogical her kit is now. Not a nerf.
She's super easy to track. Her invisibility is almost useless because it's triggered on something that's flashy, by seeing and by hearing. Making her even more flashy... You may as well kill her and we won't notice...
Genji is a problem depending on WHO is playing him. Blizzard just hates to see Genji players happy honestly, idk how many recolors of his i’ve bought and i keep gaslighting myself hoping he’ll actually get a COOL skin that isn’t a recolor.
Honestly with the sombra that is true, and anyway she’s banned all the time, even when I don’t vote her she’s just always banned :sob: lower ranks can’t handle it

Yeah, like everyone! Junker Queen is terrifying if they play her amazingly. Should we nerf her too then? Same goes to Winston. He can be super annoying. Should we nerf the entire cast because they can be OP or annoying? It doesn't make any sense.
They're all for Kiriko and Juno. And Mercy, D.Va and Reinhardt, if you ask for more. Who's Genji? Who's Junkrat? Who's Lúcio? No idea. Give Kiriko and Juno another skin! Will Hazard get his third skin before Freja? We'll know in a near future! Until then, another skin for Juno, since she's new, and another one for Reinhardt, since he's... He's a he, we need skins for at least one man. Genji what?
TRUE. She's going to be banned no matter how weak she is, at least make the ban worth it or something! And make her playable for Quickplay and Arcade at least!
I'm sorry they nerfed him so much. Even as someone who just got into the game, I barely see him, like anywhere. So O have no idea what made them choose him of all people. I hope they buff him in the next patch 🫶 :heartpulse:

They have you enjoyment so you'd see what could have been. Like putting a candy in your mouth, then taking away. Huh?

Literally what they did. I was so happy when he got his shuriken count back back in like season 3(?) Now it’s all gone again :broken_heart:
