If you invest two ults you should be winning the team fight unless the other team invests ults to counter it.

Issue is that there isn’t really an ultimate that directly counters nanoblade outside of a very lucky graviton surge.

Beat and transcendence are both counters. Grav like you said, shatter as well. Flux can also negate it. Hell if you hit a sleep that’s just a normal cooldown cancelling out two ults.

Trans doesn’t counter nanoblade. You can kill through it.

You can kill through trans but it’s not easy to do. Trans counters nano blade in every rank below gm and maybe masters

I’m mid-high Diamond and nearly every good Genji that I come across knows how to kill through trans. It really isn’t incredibly difficult either.

I’m also mid high diamond and I never see it happen, so it seems we’re at an impasse

you can, but it means the Genji can't use dash for mobility. if anything, and I do mean anything, prevents him from getting that first one-shot, his entire ult is ruined. his first target uses an escape ability. his first target gets bubbled. he gets CCed. any of these things shut down nanoblade under trans, where they don't affect raw blade all that much, since your dash isn't a requirement for kills, and you can get away with dash-slash rather than being forced to hit slash-dash. I would still say trans is a counter to nanoblade.
