cry moar faggot, Genji is plenty countered by Winston and Mei.

Genji is literal shit though.
Aaron Sullivan
Nerf his ultimate just a bit or something.

Adrian Green
He is a scrub filter. He picks off solo players or can support the team by deflecting damage and finishing off low hp enemies.
His counter is grouping up and tanks. Winston can nullify a Genji aside from ults, if played correctly. Otherwise just focus him as necessary, he will either run away for med packs or die trying.
Lincoln Allen
You haven't played Winston have you? These are the same complaints Mei gets a lot. When you are by yourself the best option is to run and get back up.
Logan Green
>Winston can nullify a Genji when will this meme end? he just need to poke them with his weeboostars, if winston have the idea to chase him, you just need to dash out of danger and pick the remaining team while winston is sweating bullets trying to catch you
Nathan Moore
It's not Genji, it's the meta
Robert Allen
>melee hero Do you even play the game?
Michael Anderson
Half the cast has some way to either interrupt or nullify his ult, and pretty much every genji player just hops around not helping and taking potshots until it charges. A fair chunk of characters can ignore his deflect too.
I don't know what the problem is.
Kayden Nguyen
>one of the fastest projectiles with a decent amount of damage they're like one of the slowest, only heroes like junkrat, pharah or lucio have even slower ones, the rest of the cast is faster or has hitscans
Nolan Martinez
Genjis ninja stars don't do that much damage by itself. If the Genji decides to stay behind and not use half of his ability set it should be a good thing. You should just practice with Winston. His jumpack cooldown is way shorter than genji and requires no aim. Without additional jumpack damage, Genji dies in 4 seconds to his primary fire. I have absolutely have no problem killing Genji with a Winston solo.
Kevin Gray
the only hero with faster projectiles is zen they're all slower than him not to mention his decent rate of fire with an important mag

How to solve the Genji issue:
Buff Mei
Mason Moore
Like I said, learn how to play Winston, he is nowhere near as bad as you say he is, trust me. Winston is a little underpowered at the moment but his role on the team is disruption and or targeting somewhat distant enemies. He shits on snipers easily, and wrecks most healers if their team is shit at protecting them.
Luke Torres
you can only kill afk people who swim in your ticklegun (with the rest of their team afk too) your bubble is shit and will protect nothing your ult serves only one purpose: deal next to no damage and give the whole enemy team an ult battery
Carson Ramirez
She'll eventually get her due, don't worry.
Mason Reyes
kill yourself you rank 60 shitter
Ryan Russell
He's useless.
>Jump on Genji >Drop Shield >Use tickle taser >Genji escapes by: >>Running away, as he moves faster than Winston >>Dashing away >>Double Jumping away >>Climbing a wall to get away. >The rest of Genji's team kills you or you hop back to your team.
And that's in the scenario where Genji doesn't decide to just push your shit in with a 200+ dps alt-fire or by activating his ult.
Brandon White
>you can only kill afk people who swim in your ticklegun (with the rest of their team afk too) His gun is multi-target and why would you attack a whole team solo? You could say this for every character. >your bubble is shit and will protect nothing You deploy your shield after jumping on people, which will ussually last enough time to do damage and GTFO assuming you are solo and can't win whatever skirmish you jump into. >our ult serves only one purpose: deal next to no damage and give the whole enemy team an ult battery I use it as a stall ult to allow teammates to make it back to the point or push enemies of the objective.

Ethan Carter
>she's literally one of the worst characters in the game, lowest competitive usage >do remotely decent with her and people claim shes OP in in-game chat >mfw I'm glad she got the benefit of the ult charge changes, at least.
The worst thing about playing Winston is trying to kill a Lucio. His kit is a good fit for the job but it's infuriating seeing how slow Lucio's health trickles down.
Brandon King
>Not running after genji and pushing his shit in using jump. And why would you jump in the middle of an enemy team to just kill Genji. This is a problem with all characters.
Carter Stewart
In what games is Winston actively trying to 1v1 faggot instead of either aiding his team trying to secure an objective or flanking while his team is attacking from the front to secure an objective?
Colton Jackson
He was good, before zen cancers he was fucking good at distrupting. As my stat goes, it went downhill, like half of what it was even if enemy has sniper/genji, and yes, zenyatta is always my go-to-blame rather than reaper.
Being genji is preferable to distrupt enemy and kill sniper shitters, he can kill that buddhist wannabe with less effort.
And don't forget winston is now the worse ult charger than streetpig/dva
Carson James
>His gun is multi-target and why would you attack a whole team solo? You could say this for every character. why would anyone with a brain pack when your hear a winston scream HUUUURRN except shitters? >You deploy your shield after jumping on people, which will ussually last enough time to do damage and GTFO assuming you are solo and can't win whatever skirmish you jump into. which mean you'll have to flee and will be useless in the next teamfight and when the enemy team know a TANK is useless, they won't wait for your cooldowns >I use it as a stall ult to allow teammates to make it back to the point or push enemies of the objective. It's purpose is not primarily to kill. so just a worse d.va or roadhog
Jayden Brooks
Ana's shift will not kill you, and inb4 "her team will" you have to be smart about targeting. Winston isn't OP, but he has his roles.
Hanzo's scatter is not enough to kill winston not to mention your shield should be up and absorb most, if not all the damage unless he head shots you.
About the group thing, I understand your point, and that is why I mentioned the the team thing, don't forget this is a team game. I'm not saying winston can solo a whole team.
Ryan Wood
>I'm too retarded to go Winston or Zenyatta
He is the LAST hero who needs a nerf.
Sadly, retarded Plebbitors like you will actually make it happen since Blizzard is retarded and listens to you.
It was nerfed with Zenyatta's buff. Now it's useless as long as Zenyatta is alive. Also Lucio somewhat. And Mccree's E.
Carson Flores
Anyone else bored of the game already? Nothing is going on and there being no new maps is really killing the game. I just come into these threads in the hopes of talking about Overfu's now.
Juan Flores
>If their team has zen, you're fucked, plus reaper and you're burden So...
How about you guys stop being retarded and we all agree on this one thing that makes sense? Nerf Zenyatta again.
Jackson Brown
>>I'm too retarded to go Winston or Zenyatta tell me how that fix things, winston is useless and a good genji will kill a zen, it's even his job.
Parker Jones
if you can't easily zap down Genji you fucking suck.
Owen Allen
This, hos Zen orb is like Mercy's PTR damage boost, but for the whole team. Absolutley retarded.
Ryder Reed
You are misunderstanding what Winstons role is, He is literally a Gorilla warfare Fighter. You jump in, disrupt the enemy team WITH the support of your team, and leave if it fails, heal up if it works. If you cannot understand this, I cannot help you. I already explained why half the things in your post doesn't make sense within the context of the game. If you don't want to play the monkey then don't. Just don't cry about other characters being op when there are tons of characters that can make quick work of them.
Lucas Wood
ITT assblasted Genji fags upset someone called out how bs Genji really is.
James Stewart

AND NOW I AM THE KING
Justin Murphy
Well, I don't know... Maybe I'm just clueless but as a level 400 rank 70 60% winrate Genji main, I can guarantee you a Winston completely fucks Genji if the Winston player isn't mentally disabled. Always.
And no, you can't just kill Zenyatta... Exactly, because there is Winston (and others) protecting him... IF, again, your team isn't utter shit.
And Zenyatta's ult renders Genji's 100% (useless). It's about the only ult in the game that's getting rendered literally 100% useless by another ult.
Genji was nerfed into oblivion with the last update. And thanks to retards like you he will keep getting nerfed. While fucking no one ever says a word about Zenyatta or Mccree, Roadhog's braindead OHKO hook, Reaper who can just kill a whole team with w+m1 or the press of Q.
Overwatch community is literally mentally disabled.
Jackson Davis

Cameron Foster
nope mei alt is faster, torbjörn is faster, hanzo is faster most other heroes are hitscan
Brody Richardson
Honestly all I would do is fix his macro (RMB, melee, dash) that does 180 in under a second and make it so only kills with his dash reset the cooldown, not just any kill or assist
Lincoln Taylor
Discord Orb is pure fucking cancer. Remove the skill and give him a new one to make him a snooker hero. Let him bounce his balls, make discord orb place a pocket that balls are drawn to
Brody Perez
>180 It does 164 Trust me, I main the nigga
Andrew Powell
>hero picked in almost 100% of high level ranked and tournaments >"you're autist dude, he's fine" oh right, genji main, everything explains itself it's a team game, winston is the only one remotely decent against genji, and most of the cast counter winston
Alexander Howard
Still, that's a good chunk.
Nolan Cox
nah his fine bro this is actually worse than alpha zenyatta but still god always pick tier where he belongs xD
Isaiah Wood
>hero picked in almost 100% of high level ranked and tournaments No?
Tyler Russell
fuck genji
Alexander James
>make him useless
Lol
Charles Fisher
Genji isnt picked 100% of the time retard. Watch some high level people. Genji gets cucked by Mccree and Zen, 2 characters that actually always are there.
Jose Torres
n1 picture XD
I go play OW now.
You confuse Genji with Winston on KOTH maps.
Angel Rodriguez
But Zen is Genji's master, not Genji himself
Christopher Bennett
the thing is, you have to be good to use genji. I can use any character just fine but genji is impossible to play with
Eli Smith
This. Genji's hitboxes are so fucking retarded mid-air, even a piece of shit Mccree player can easily hit him twice. Which means death since Mccree is by far the most imbalanced hero in the game.
And let's not forget the "lel, I press E somewhere near you, so now I can casually kill you."
Isaiah Flores
make sure to pick zenyatta!
dont be a useless mccree / genji / tracer fag!
Christopher Russell

Hudson Adams
>It's about the only ult in the game that's getting rendered literally 100% useless by another ult. Yeah, you're not rank 70.
Nicholas Smith
As it is being in the air makes you a sitting duck so you should never really be jumping as Genji. That's why Pharah is so useless. The game is too floaty and Hitscan is too good.
Nicholas Evans
How the fuck are some people so good with Genji? Even through the kill cam I still cannot figure out how the fuck people have this kind of reaction.
>Get killed by Genji >In the kill cam it shows him do the shotgun shuriken + Melee + Dash in a split second, and as I turn around he already shot another shotgun shuriken in my face followed by a melee >All of that while during in the middle of the chaotic team fight
Like what is the damage potential on this motherfucker anyways?
Luis Rivera
All I want is for the attacking team to not be fucking tards and, when rushing back to the front lines, not all chase after one god damned Genji who isn't doing shit against a group.
QUIT CHASING HIM, WE'RE LOSING THE POINT, FUCK.
Camden Kelly
the combo alone deals like 184 or something like that, enough to drop Tracer instantly.
Juan Peterson
Pretty good, if nobody notices you or if they're caught up with someone already. If my team is worth shit I can M1, get like 2 headshots, dash in, melee and I kill a 200 hp hero. This all happens in under a second.
If a Mccree or someone notices you the whole thing is fucked.
John Kelly
>scout on tf2 >unreal tournament >quake for the move practice >macros that's about it, you just need to learn what kind of attacks you should do in what situation
Elijah Edwards
>nah his fine bro discord is broken piece of shit, the only tank that is playable now is zarya because barrier cancels it. The game balance right now is pure cancer. rank 75+, genji mains or tracer mains raping everything that moves, obligatory zenyattas on both teams, obligatory zaryas on both teams, and betacuck lucios who are only there to cover up for zens lack of aoe heal. Nobody plays defense heroes unless its a tripple top 500 stack vs rank 60-70. Phara is unplayable. WInston is unplayable
Aiden Wood
The most bullshit part is that fucking reflect >lasts forever, allowing him to safely disengage from an fight >hitbox the size of a modern cruise liner
Kayden Nelson
>Winston Yeah, trickling him to death over about 7 seconds while you're waddling around with your giant hitbox while their McCree and Zen pound you to a pulp sure is a great counter >Mei Not even a hero
Ian Anderson
That special feeling when a Genji ults but you are Reinhard and the Genji is still worse in melee than you.
It's great every time.
Logan Johnson
>It's about the only ult in the game that's getting rendered literally 100% useless by another ult. It also nullifies S:76s, wouldn't be surprised if it outhealed pharah too. Let's not ignore how D.Va's defence matrix literally eats Zaryas gravity bomb. Pretty much every ult gets shutdown by something. Wasted ult is not exclusive to genji
Kevin Rodriguez
Just dont shoot and wait the 3 seconds. Genji cant shoot and if he doesnt have Dash he can't cancel out of it. Once it ends he's just a sitting duck.
Nowhere near as bad as Zarya's bubbles
James Butler
t. Genji pro
Parker Peterson
>complaining about the noobfilter of the game Oh the irony..
Nicholas Nelson
>Just dont shoot and wait the 3 seconds. Tough shit, he just combo'd your asshole right as it ended because he's got ample time to get in the exact perfect position for it since you can't do squat for three fucking seconds God that hero gets me mad just thinking about ihim
Caleb Young
>I held down M1 better than he did! Go me! It's not hard user.
Especially when Rein has 2.5x the health Genji does and your hammer has bigger range with added knockback and only 45 less damage than the sword.
What a pro.
Eli Sullivan
>shotgun shuriken + Melee + Dash in a split second, and as I turn around he already shot another shotgun shuriken in my face followed by a melee
You say that as if it's hard to do or impressive. Melee cancels the animation or shurkens and dash cancels melee so you just press all 3 buttons at basically the same time just making sure the order is right, and since he just dashed you he knows your exact location when he turns around and finishes you with a couple shurikens at close range which is relatively easy to hit. You only need a few hours of practice as him to do that consistently.
John Fisher
>Broken with Broken
This is the best though.
Juan Young
zarya's bubbles last 2 seconds and have huge cooldowns, you're pretty much limited to two for a single team fight. They're an offensive tool to charge Zarya to become a dangerous damage dealer.
Easton Moore
You're low teir as fuck then, either get back with your team or be able to put good burst damage on him after it's over.
Evan Cook
>Don't shoot reflecting invincible genji for 3 seconds >Somehow Zarya bubbles are worse despite being only 2 seconds and only 200hp
Lincoln James
>God that hero gets me mad just thinking about ihim you're such a fucking beta cuck holy shit.
Jonathan Howard
>Olivia
Literally the reason I stopped playing that game.
Jesus Christ there ought to be a law against being that annoying.
Jaxson Bailey
THIS, people forget that this is an objective TEAM based game. Character like tracer and genji can do best against players who split off from their team. These are the people who ask for healing after dying 500 yards away from the objective and complain about the lack of backup.
Why leave the group to die or kill just one person, when you can be healed, push the objective, and get kills and assists all at the same time?
Isaac Hill
>bubbles take away status effect >she can put it on somebody else >can still fire with bubble active >accidentally firing at the bubble only makes her stronger >if someone breaks the 200hp bubble you're most likely at full charge and a fucking demon now
Now, how is bubble not better than deflect?
Isaiah Howard
genji is actually underpowered.
the only reason he has any use right now is because of his ult, which only succeeds at steamrolling (it does nothing if your team doesn't already have the upper hand and your opponents can actually focus on stopping genji for a second), meaning it will become mostly useless once blizz actually fixes the utterly retarded attack/defense balance on all maps.
all of his other skills get worse and worse with every step where your enemies get less retarded. stuff like a mcree with actual game shut down genji so fucking hard its not funny.
Easton Turner
You're still a slow as fuck hero with huge hitbox, no double jumps, dashes or wallrunning. If you fucked up your positioning, a bubble may buy you two extra seconds of life but then you're fucked anyway.
Jaxon Cox
>"actually" and "underpowered" in the same sentence.
>Absolutely no capitalization throughout the entire post.
You're not wrong, and your punctuation is good, but I got a little triggered there.
Camden Roberts
This, if Genji was hitscan and his jumping wasn't so floaty he could actually compete with Mccree. I still main the nigga though, I hate how slow Mccree feels and my aim isnt top teir.
Jace Hill
All I have to do to fight the Gen-ster is move and bait his stupid deflect.
Henry Walker
they just need to reduce it to a 30% damage bonus instead of fucking 50% I knew if they buffed Zen at all he'd jump right to 100% pick tier because Discord is busted as fuck
Ryan Ross
Every hero moves at the same speed besides Tracer and Genji. >implying jumping and wallrunning means shit when Mccree is in the game
A good Zarya is always with her team, odds are if Zarya is left alone the main tank (Rein) fucked up or you got double Ult'd.
Jacob Taylor
ofc not he just posting there to put prettygirl.jpg nobody will notice he is talking bs
Charles Stewart
I really hope they test out decreasing the orb to 30% from 50%. Zenyatta's HP is great where it is at, but any characters that are close ranged or highly visible like winston, pharah, reaper, and roadhog are being melted like butter.
I just hope blizzard doesn't just buff one character to counter him.
Ayden Anderson
>bait his deflect >he nothin' personnel's you
Daniel Barnes
>all these Genji shitters that fought two probably two shitty Winstons think he's bad
The only way Genji can escape a Winston is if he dashes to his team because Winston will never chase unless his ult is ready
Every other time Genji will die like a bitch.
Henry Jackson
Genji's kit is overloaded, always has been. The ult absolutely makes no sense.
There is a simple way to make genji slightly better.
Makes his fucking shift refresh if he gets the finishing blow. Getting it refreshed by the 3 damage he did 10 seconds ago is just dumb.
Brandon Williams
Macros.
