Genji got nerfed, and yet absolutely NOTHING has changed at my MMR. He is still the one character no one can counter that sucks the fun out of the game.

  • Genji climbs over the Ice Wall because Blizzard didn't make it slippery, would have made too much sense I guess. Even then, all you can do is slightly delay Genji and give him even more ult from his shuriken by healing yourself, you're never ever ever ever gonna kill him as Mei because he's too smart to go into your beam

  • That assumes Genji would actually go into a car wash room (which he doesn't, because he can take ANY route on the map with his mobility), because the other turrets out in the open just die to random spam that occurs while fighting and her beam also never reaches

  • Genji doesn't dash cause Genji is smart, he keeps poking with shuriken for free ult charge, if you jump him he dashes away and laughs at you. You putting up a shield does NOT force a close fight. Why would it? Genji just waits out the 4 or so seconds it lasts and continues happily spamming no-falloff shuriken. Winston cannot deal 1 damage to a smart Genji (hyperbole but kinda true).

  • Good luck hitting Genji with Zarya RMB when he's constantly double jumping and wall climbing all over the place, most people can't even hit him with McCree and that's hitscan. Also he can just stop throwing Shuriken when he sees the shield go up, so you only get about 20 energy.

  • Roadhog is a slight counter if you can actually land the hook, which is a tiny bit easier than constant McCree shots. But then it's an all or nothing game. Hit the hook, kill the Genji. Miss the hook and he's gonna get 40% ult out of your body.

  • McCree as I said, no one can hit him in my MMR and shoot at him is not a counter in the way I mean it. A counter is for example a Discord Orb if Roadhog gives you trouble. No such thing exists for Genji.

  • Widow: no one picks her, no one can land shots with her in my games, never see her.
