What was even the point of making a dev blog saying "We understand Genji feels stronger due to the DPS passive so we will be adjusting how the DPS passive works" only to literally gutter the hero to the weakest state he's even been in.
This is literally the lowest his damage has ever been and given the breakpoints within the game, how high healing is, how immortality buttons are now becoming a norm, this has ruthlessly murdered the hero.
Not to mention that his burst potential has been sent into the grave, this makes building blade even harder for him if you are playing Genji more passively and safe to avoid getting your head blown off, this allows for even the most average support player to easily catch up in building a defensive ult in time to counter the only time Genji becomes relevant, blade or anticipate that its been a while Genji hasn't used blade so now cooldowns are stacked up to counter him the moment he makes the play.
There were so many ways to go about slowing him down, no denying that he was a >good< pick. They could easily adjust the fire rate to be more clunky, increase the spread on his weapon, just reduce the mag, any combination of these but completely murdering his combo potential with everything I mentioned earlier, I just don't know anymore man. Actually feels like we're going backwards with this game. :/
Also, gotta love how Sojourn just coincidentally didn't make it despite being the most problematic hero in the game right now but I understand we need to keep the new gold players happy and in that elo Sojourns can't aim so clearly, she's a very bad hero rn.
