Genji got mad popular with the last patch despite not getting buffed, but I'm not too worried. I take him out easy enough. I was repeatedly killing the enemy teams Genji and Pharah on Hanamura last night. Then they switched off and I kept killing their Rein.
This is playing Mercy and switching to blaster, btw.

Back to back games lost in ranked now due to God damn quitters that's we were winning. The most aggravating things about this game period

I haven't really noticed a difference, but it should. But 50% of the time or more it seems like he is able to wraith form away after a stun + FTH combo
I actually agree that his kit works great with his role, and he's just a well made character altogether. It's just that he shreds tanks and squishies alike without a really hard counter. And can get away from danger very effectively, with a game changing ult. But I'm complete trash with him, so he definitely takes some skill.
I don't want to become that guy who always says characters are OP. I don't even think he needs a nerf, but I just find it funny that we are already complaining about Genji and new Zen and Reaper slips through the cracks again. Despite being extremely powerful, good at getting away from danger, fantastic ult. etc. He's a constant pick in competitive, and it's terrifying to see one coming for you.
He requires virtually no aim though.
That option is Competitive
I actually didn't think to try that. Assuming Fan is fast enough I believe you need flash + 5 of the shots to hit him but I think that'd be possible now with how fast it shoots.
Main thing I've noticed is that tracer and supports are reliably going down to it again. And that Genji deflect is apparently the size of a truck.
Had a game where I didn't contest the payload and my team lambasted me for it, how embarassing. Made up for it in the next one!
Nope, it was the enemy team saying gg when we couldn't get past the 1st point, of course it was a gg for you, you won!

I played with a really good Ana and Zenyatta in comp the other day. Took out a Zarya with almost full health with a brilliantly coordinated sleep dart, discord, and charge in the span of 2 seconds.
My comp matches yesterday went suprisingly well actually. Won 6 out of 8 and only lost one because we had an afk Soldier 76 (who went afk after we practically rolled the other team on Gibraltar).

Im def not a good guy to ask about that my ults are super fradulent. I usually slash into the air, pop ult and slash towards the backline and just wildly swing and spam slash hoping i get a reset, not a good look

And competitive have leavers that will ruin your game, so it's like pick your poison.
I don't know what earth possessed Blizz to think I want to join a losing team.

Feels fucking awesome to join a team getting owned on defense with the payload at the final checkpoint and 5+minutes to go or something. And you turn the tide and win the game for your team. It's time like those that you KNOW you were the carry, feels good man.
Feels good when you win tho. It shows you're the savior.

So last week I pretty much dedicated myself to only playing McCree, and I gotta say that fan the hammer buff on top of the primary fire buff is hitting a sweet spot. It seems to me that McCree is viable in most situations.
He's pretty deadly again. I die to just regular shots from a distance more now. And that stun is still rage inducing.

If you made it so the first "Die" in "Die, Die, Die" preceded the act of the ult like it does for most other character's ults, and you gave him some actual damage dropoff so he was forced into a close effective range, he'd be fine.
I'm not that concerned with him being a beast up close, because he's the tank buster. The problem becomes when Winston leaps away and Reaper's still doing damn near full damage to him at range, or when he drops from a ledge to start his ult and the damage is applied full 2m above everyone and you don't even get a sound cue.

Someone explain to me how Mercy being able to move better while using her resurrection ult is actually a nerf to her?
All I see is a change from someone running over a person and briefly stopping to see what's going on before high-tailing it out of there, to a flat out hit and run.

I'm pretty adverse to nerfs/buffs, because it's almost never right on the money, even after multiple passes. See Tjorb on PS4 and Zen across the board.
But if a single character can be played at any level and consistently get medals, even healing ones, like Reaper can, it may be time to see why his efficacy is greater than most other characters.
Genji is a harder case, to me, because at low skill levels, he's an absolute joke. But at high ones, he's an absolute nightmare. You can't balance people's playing skills, so I'm not sure what the right answer is with him.
My inclination would be to say buff Winston, but he's got such an incredible skillset that he could get out of hand pretty damn quickly if he were buffed. The selfish side of me really wants to see him get buffed, because he's my go-to character for when I cross/blow right through that line of "just drunk enough."
He does require aim, as in there is a large difference between a Reaper who is consistently landing head shots and one who gets mainly body shots. I am definitely the latter and while I do consistently well in QP with Reaper vs other teams I often get gunned down by better Reapers who out shoot me up close. Why? Because they are better at aiming for my head.
Agree. If there's a Reaper on the other team then many times its more about map awareness and Ult awareness than it is a hard counter.
And it's easier than you think to nullify his Ult. Lucio, Zenyatta, Winston and Rein can all do it easily and D.Va can accomplish it with some skill. (responding to a different poster here)
One thing I might be in favor of is increasing his damage fall-off from his shotguns. You can still poke someone for decent damage over time from a distance if they don't move out of the way and there's no need for that with his current role and kit. I would be fine if he did zero damage at X number of feet (and X would be a fairly short distance away).

Reaper's ult has to be one of the ones that I see most commonly do zip, right along D.Va and Pharah.
Went in to quick play for the first time in quite a while to try learn how to play genji well and jesus it's a shitshow haha. Forgot how much I appreciate the lack of hero stacking in comp.
Also, still looking for some PS4 people to group up with if anyone fancies it, trying to claw my way out of the 40's still...

Yeah, I've seen a couple solid Anas. If all of a sudden I'm not dying in a team fight, they must be doing an ok job

So they ended up going the Shaq route after all. Interesting.

Seeing a lot of people have experiences like this is why I haven't touched competitive. I get frustrated enough in QP, I don't need a meter making me feel bad too.
Yeah their first game yesterday though, ouch it was hard to watch
Bad today too. They're either going backwards or others have caught them up, or both.
yeah and they're getting bodied.

RIP in pepperoni NRG and Seagull
They just don't seem to mesh well. Dummy as the new guy does not seem to be working out. Gods is good when he turns it on, but sometimes he just does not show up. Pookz is ok, although I do question his usage of ults at time. Milo is good.
I don't know if they will last with NRG. I also don't know the organization well enough from other games, don't know if they are like a cloud9 or navi where their other teams in other games are at the top. They might not care and just got seagull because of the big following he has on Twitch and just want more of that "celebrity" person with a name attached to their org and might not 100% care about whether they are the top guys (or even if they need them to be since the backing of the org is from big name investors like Shaq and other rich/sports people).
Again that is just my guess, so if people that know the org better and can enlighten me I would appreciate it, don't want to just spew things out of my mouth as if I know whats going on.

So what's wrong with NRG/LG? Who are the weak links?
They may not be the best, but I can't imagine that Seagull and Gods are the ones holding them back.
