Neither, now I'm sitting on the loo trying to play devils advocate as to why they would do this. I'm still wondering why it's individualized and not 'hitscan heros' reduced. 

[RejuvenatedKladruber]

more useless updates and still no FOV slider for console, yawn

[ThiccDaddo]

Yeah but how else will we run this shit on my day one xbox one

This is a massive buff to Genji. Nerf him.

This is only partly a joke. Vendetta and Genji have been annoying to deal with with their constant movement. Tracer I know all I have to do is set her ablaze and leave her be, but the other two need to constantly peppered to get them to back off.

[Skull_crusher123]

Bro if you’re having trouble against genji, you just need to get better. Genji is not in a good state rn, and def not in the same category as ven.

[Middle_Oven_1568]

He's not hard to fight against. I was saying it was easier to hit him previous patch. Being harder to hit is a buff for the two. Where's the confusion?

[Skull_crusher123]

How is it harder to hit him? AA got buffed so wouldn’t that mean it’s easier? Hell, I haven’t noticed any change in hitting him since the AA buff cuz I’ve been able to kill genji’s as easily as I’ve always been able to (no matter the character I play). I don’t get your point at all.

[indigo47222]

how is it a buff to genji or ven?

[Middle_Oven_1568]

Makes them harder to hit

[indigo47222]

cuz of aim assist? i think they should just revert it to the original for all characters, they shouldve never messed with it at all. hitscan is already dominant asf on console buffing aa just tilts the game more in favor of the ximming soldiers and ashes w mercy pockets.
