God forbid he has to actually make use of his shields to survive while making use of his insanely retarded amount of crowd control and mobility for an offense hero lol.
McCree finally got some love. Flashbang will slow people down. Which will work wonders against sneaky squishies and thus solidifying his anti-flank status. Reinhardt will swing his hammer faster and will be made more responsive. Unfortunately they didnt say anything about fixing his broken charge(Right now its complete and utter ass) Zarya's Ult got a massive buff. Reaper got yet another buff via making her less loud obnoxious when trying to flank back lines with his abilities.
I like most of these changes. Overall seems like they trying to counter Dive. I hate the fact Rein's charge is still broke tho

You know the best part about DF was? He absolutely wrecked that phaggot Genji. Any new hero that Stomps the weeb brothers is a winner in my book
"insanely retarded amount of crowd control and mobility for an offense hero"
Replace crowd control with a get-out-of-jail-free skill that can counter pretty much every Ultimate and you have Genji
Yeah but he's totally fine right?
Anyhow, blizzard should just stick to releasing boring shit characters like a Orisa because if a character is a slight bit fun to play then you know they will get nerfed with the quickness to be in line with the rest of the useless no fun heroes.
Blizzard has been going this in Diablo for years and now continuing this nonsense with Overwatch.

Genji is probably the best-designed hero in the game with stark strengths and weaknesses acting as solid levers of balance he can be tooled around. His kit isn't as incredibly limited as Mercy's or as overloaded as Ana's (or Soldier's in his own class), so he's rarely been a serious balance problem.
Here's a list of ultimates Genji's E can theoretically counter:
Looks fairly impressive. Now let's remove the ones that are only countered in extremely specific and nearly impossible circumstances like Hanzo's, as well as ones that are only countered if the person plays like an idiot (Tracer).
Reaper
McCree
Pharah
Bastion
Roadhog
Much less impressive. And I hesitate to put Bastion on here, since he can just shoot at Genji's feet (or shoot his team).
So yes, Genji is totally fine. Of all the things to complain about I don't know why his deflect is what you're choosing. You can literally just stop shooting him as most characters. Genji is slippery, has good mobility, and solid burst damage. He also has the worst DPS in his entire class, has middling dueling power, is weak at long range and average at close range, and has no CC at all. Genji is fine.
Doomfist by contrast seemed to only have the weakness of short range and perhaps relatively low DPS. He has incredible CC, great mobility, more base tankiness than any offense hero save Reaper, self-shield generation that brought his health up to 400, etc. The character's kit looks very overloaded, so I can see why Blizzard doesn't want to release him too strong.
One of the developers hates Genji because he makes balancing maps a nightmare. Wonder how he feels about Doomfist now >D
Deflect is actually pretty good at ****ing McCree/Pharah/Reaper if he is good.
He can literally dash in out of no where and deflect the ults back at the user's face before they get time to react.
Roadie can avoid it by simply aiming elsewhere because his large health pool gives him plenty of time. Now Reaps? He is ****ed. If McCree saw a couple of targets and fired the deadeye? Chances are he gets his shit deflected back at him. Pharah could possibly aim elsewhere depending on how many Rockets Genji managed to deflect before Pharah can react(she is up there with Roadie surviving it tho)
That said as annoying as deflect can be it is fine. Genji has shitty DPS unless he goes on a swift strike loop and his ultimate has been nerfed(although it is still really strong)
I think doomfist is okay. He is overwhelmingly strong at close combat, but then that is all he has. Its just the mobility he had when released was absolutely insane. Nigga was literally appearing out of no where and shoving his fist up people's asses before they even knew what hit them. I would've loved to play the DBZesque TJ combo x Balrog Saitama version originally released but it is what it is I guess. If he suffers in the meta and is 'niche' he will get the necessary buffs so all is good in my book.
Anyone following the OW World Cup?

The Numbani map should be banned from competitive mode. I can't explain it but everyone has this one track mindset to go upstairs when they're on attack where everyone always expects everyone. Despite getting mowed down repeatedly, teams still keep going up the stairs the whole game, never going left, never going right, just straight up the stairs where they keep dying like flanking is a myth and I have witnessed this for more than ten matches. WTF.
Like there is no surprise about the people crying about Doomfist. The very same people that liked to say Roadhog didn't deserve to be a pick machine because he is a "tank", even though he has no actual tanking capabilities, and not a DPS. So here we have an actual DPS with a more situational OHK and people still cry.
Its just the case of "This kills me and I can't find a way around it so plz nerf." Stupid really. Doomfist literally puts himself in the middle of the frying pan to get his job done, but nope. I don't care. Nerf Him plz.
Blizzard needs to ignore them now. The damage to Hog is done, we don't need Doomfist to go down the same path.

I can't take the "Doomfist is OP" whining anymore myself. Everybody wanted him, everybody got him, now everybody apparently hates him because he has a doom fist. I don't know what these idiots expected when grossly demanding such an obscure character at the time with the biggest bit of info to his kit lore-wise is "can level a skyscraper".
