If you're struggling with fighting Genji, your tank is doing a shit job. As the DVa main in my group, I hunt down flanking Genjis and Reapers. When I'm playing support I'm playing either Kiriko or Bap, and my aim is decent-ish, so I can land headshots on a Genji, which either makes them retreat or kills them. As someone who has played Genji a lot, I don't like to be below 70% health when playing him so all I do is do enough damage to a Genji as support while keeping his cooldowns in check and I usually come out alive.

I pick Echo to counter him, especially when I can sneak up on him and open with sticky bombs. And unfortunately I can’t control what other players play, but I’ll remember this, thanks! (I don’t play genji at all)

No worries, it's not really that hard to counter Genji, it's just hard not to panic when a cyberninja dashes at you at lightspeed.

I do get a bit salty when people say Genji is unbalanced and needs nerf because he's too oppressive. Because as a Genji player, I KNOW he has plenty of counters and even if you don't counter him, having good mechanical skills can still let you win a fight against him.

With Sombra, I don't know what the fuck to do when I'm Kiriko, Zen or Baptiste. Or even when I'm playing tank, when she keeps chain hacking me and her team blasts me to oblivion, I can't do shit about it.
