Genji adjustment idea
Hello, I am a relatively new player. I started playing when Freja was released. I stopped playing when Wuyang was released, and now I am back. The reason I stopped playing was because I thought Genji was overly oppressive and had very low counterplay. Now that Genji has been nerfed a little, I came back to the game.
My main problem with Genji was his Deflect. He can just press a button and completely remove my ability to play the game. My adjustment idea is naturally focused on Deflect. How about we remove the current Deflect and instead give Genji a short window to parry projectiles and avoid damage from hitscan weapons? He could also deal some damage with this ability.
With this change, I think we could solve Genji’s most talked about problems: not being able to kill targets as effectively as other dive DPS, and being effectively immortal when he uses Deflect. This would also give Genji more depth and more counterplay, because players would need to time their parry correctly. This parry ability should obviously have a lower cooldown than his current Deflect.
What do you guys think did i cooked or am i cooked?
