Nah. Compare it to something like Reaper's where you're basically guaranteed to get kills.
You need two hits minimum, usually more.

literally: Get Good
There's a reason he's one of the few three star heroes in the game.
Same thing here, won 10 randoms in a row yesterday because I said f it and played Lucio every time. When I logged on I had intentions of trying some new characters but nope, didnt' happen. I waited until last seconds a few times to pick but nope, nobody else wanted to heal (one time someone did try going Symmetra for the sole support but of course that wouldn't have worked so...) Still, 10 wins in a row felt good.
Today I logged in determined to not heal/play Lucio. Five straight losses later I may have to cave just to get the 1st win of the day bonus. > < It's crazy in these randoms everyone is 30+ yet nobody will pick Lucio. Surely they all know he's OP winning machine but I guess everyone is taking a break at the same time.
There's no maybe about it.

Reaper is basically Genji but with less effort for same results.
Well damn. More and more I wish I had it on PS4. But this KB & Mouse combo is just so much easier for me.PS4, unfortunately.
He isn't
The fact that you even said that with a mei avatars disappoints me friend. We all know who runs the show here.
Why is it considered good then? I've never seen anyone on Xbox get a play of the game with his ult.
Or any kind of noticable play.

That's because Reaper is the lazy person's Genji/Tracer
I got one last night. All you gotta do is have your team push the front, then you flank from behind. Kill the Mercy/lucio for no revives heals, slash up the weak dudes for easy kills, jump around the tanks to take their fire away from your teammates.
Its not something you can just jump off a roof and hit DIEDIEDIE, it takes flanking and coordination from your team.
I've had way more problems with people picking appropriate DPS roles than filling out tank/support roles. If we're trying to push with Reinhardt, we need something better than two Genjis and a Reaper
That's probably why. Genji is likely just not that good with an analog stick. You need to be able to snap your aim around in all directions to get anything done with him.
Oh, console. Eh, its probably not great on there. Slow turn radius and all, on PC it isn't uncommon to see a good Genji get a quad kill with his ult.
I thought so. Problem with a stick is I have to decide whether to go higher sensitivity for easier escape/better movement or lower sensitivity for better aim. I'm trying a middle ground but it is hard to hit.
My bad really. I should probably add the platform in complaints from now on. It is quite different on PC after all.

We're all just moving ourselves to the rhythm.
Yeah it's crazy. Some peole even wait until the very last few minutes when we can't make the push to swap to a healer.

I'd really not rather get matched with single digits at 42-_-
i've done play of the game on PS4 with his ult. you kinda have to up your sensitivity to play genji well on console.
for perspective, my sensitivity on just about every other hero is like 30-40. on genji its at like 80-90. i had it at 100 for a while but it was a bit unwieldy after playing other heroes so i had to lower it. tracer is around 50-60ish i think? can't remember, i barely play her.

I had this EXACT same thing (not the same gamertag though, the guy in mine was called Crohn or something). Picks Mei, icewalls us into spawn, then switches to Torbjorn and builds a turret in the spawn room and just jumps around it the entire game. What's the point?
Some people just want to screw around.
Do you still hit well with the shurikens at that sens? What's your vert/horiz sensitivity?
there can be more than one bae. This isnt The Highlander

My win percentage as Lucio is 49%, my win percentage with Roadhog is 67%. My overall is 56% (the other characters I've played a lot are all around that 56% mark). I prefer the Roadhog tank role but I choose Lucio when we need a support character but I must not be doing something right or maybe when I feel the need to fill the support role, that's a bad sign for the team I'm on. I don't know. I do know I have a really hard time watching the team look at the objective but not approach it when I'm Lucio. With Roadhog, I feel like I can start a push, with Lucio, even after activating my ult, I feel helpless to get players on the point. It's less of an issue for escort, just games that need a push.

Hes a really good flanker.
On an escort objective just find your way round the back of the enemy lines and uleash your Ult you can get 2-3, four if you time your stuff well. His dash elimination reset helps close the distance so you can move from enemy to enemy quickly.
Ive gotten PotG with him a bunch of times.
On ps4
2 solo queue games before work, 2 wins. I shall not tempt the fates by playing a third, think ill just have a shower and shave and relax a bit >_>
also my plan to play dps that I dont like to get better didnt work when my first game didnt have a tank (went winston) and then second game no support (so went lucio).

Yeah I've seen Genji put an end to big pushes single handedly with that ult.
This is what Genji can do on PC: https://www.twitch.tv/a_seagull/v/69728040?t=05m56s
In fairness, most Genji players still aren't this good but it should illustrate why analog sticks are just inadequate. It's already hard enough on a mouse.
They could always rebalance Genji on consoles.
Controller. Kinda difficult to move.
For every time I've seen that, I've seen 10 Genjis get wrecked one second into it.

I finally get a Legendary and it's fucking T Racer, cmoooon

which one?
I got mine on Dorado Attack.
I shadowstepped onto the bridge near the midway point then dropped down yelling DIE DIE DIE. That's the best way to get that achievement I think. A drop that people don't notice until it's too late.

I love hooking him when he's doing it. That goes for all interruptible ults. Hell, I like hooking the tire.
I feel a tingle in my pants every time I hook a McCree during High Noon.

Had a 5 toblerone 1 symmetra defense match on anubis today and i could just feel the other team raging
Yea I've seen some good ones on other teams and streams, but I feel like lost everytime one is picked on my team they're new to him or pick him because he looks cool.
