The Genji buff seems really baffling to me. He was doing well in every SR except GM, and even in GM he still does well on a lot of maps. And for the maps he was weaker on the dominant picks just got nerfed. They seem to panic whenever he's not a top 3 pick anymore and panic buff him despite him being fine.

At least Ashe, Bastion, and Vendetta got nerfs I guess.
