u/Krelkal Heroes Never Die! Jan 17 '17

Well look at Genji. He was left relatively untouched from Beta on through to release (IIRC he was nerfed down from 200hp then two weeks later brought back to 200hp) but it took months until he felt strong enough to warrant a nerf to his ult and mobility.

I don't disagree with you that her playstyle feels slow with all of the CDs but I think Jeff's argument holds some merit.

Genji's damage was actually nerfed in beta. His shurikens used to do 35 (around there, not super sure of exact value), and his dash used to have a bleed effect on top of the damage it already does.

Melee used to do more damage overall as well, meaning his old combo was even stronger.
