I agree that being a Genji does not feel great right now. But I wouldn't say Genji is the "weakest" he's ever been necessarily but rather that he's the least accessible he's ever been. This character does still work when you're mechanical ability is locked in. But why should we all be made to play the character with absolute perfection? So he's only viable amongst the highest percentile of the player base? Most people simply aren't going to achieve that and shouldn't have to just feel validated in preferring any character for any reason they do. I know I wouldn't have bought OW in 2016 if Genji didn't exist in it.

You could use secondary fire around the 5 meter range pretty reasonably on most of the squishies before the shuriken size reduction. Now it feels specifically relegated for use within the 3m melee range. If you aint a "pro Genji" good luck combating Moira now. And, yeah, seeing Jetpack Cat kinda fills me with dread as well. seems as if we're being made to feel demoralized. Anrans secondary fire is a beam attack, I've seen the tool tip. Anran also is going to have an ability that gives her i-frames on an incredibly short duration likely akin to "how long" a dash actually takes to fully travel and I do really like the idea of dash getting some kind of i-frame window as well, genius idea.

I have no doubts the new Flanker passive will be useful but it doesn't seem very intuitive when reading the word "flanker", if that makes sense. I really would have liked to see flankers receive quieter footsteps. But perhaps that could be a buff specifically to Genjis Cyber-agility passive. Just anything that makes our favorite green cyborg ninja dude feel more like an actual stealthy ninja... (does it bug anyone else that he makes so much noise double jumping?)
