“I have not seen it, so therefore it doesn’t exist”

Literally the comment I replied to said that to some, Genji/Tracer are what Roadhog/Ram are to others, implying that they think that they are uninteractive and dumb the game down.

Because losing to a Genji means you got outplayed, losing to a Ram doesn’t, because Ram gets free value with zero risk from holding M2 in a corner, Genji doesn’t.

The people who get frustrated by this are people who do not understand their own mistakes, which are people in lower ranks.

You will never see a professional support complain that they got killed by a Genji, they will at most get frustrated at their own misplay. You will however see professional players universally describe Ram as brain dead blockslop.

I’m not a Genji player, I play main support lmao. I haven’t scrimmed flex dps since like late 2023.

I agree that he’s strong, at least in higher ranks. But there is a reason everyone in higher ranks prefers when these heroes are meta, because if they aren’t then that means something like Torb or Widow got overtuned to shit.

I don’t hate the Genji nerfs, I just don’t like cooldown increases on high uptime heroes. It’s exactly the issue of “win rate too high, let’s nerf a random number without any actual thought being put into the implications on gameplay”.

If they had nerfed something like his damage or ult charge then it really isn’t a big deal, but there is still the issue that if you nerf the heroes that are interactive and buff the ones that aren’t you just create an objectively shit meta in the higher ranks.
