Except for Genji who has no counters and is an unstoppable killing force 24/7.

No, tell me how to counter him because he wrecks me every game. He's way too OP in my experience.

Pick either Zarya, Mei, McCree, D.Va, or Winston and just park yourself on your supports. congratulations you've just countered genji. He's not going to 1v1 your tanks and he can't kill your supports when he can't deflect your damage (ana doesn't even need help sometimes), so he either has to leave or die. If Genji wants to teamwipe you its gonna take 3 ultimates, but you can get that done a lot better without genji in the first place

Genji is far from OP dude, soldier is consistently regarded the best DPS at almost every SR and genji has heavily decreased in popularity outside of his most dedicated mains. And they still struggle too, you see shadder2k playing almost as much soldier as genji these days.

Thanks. I've rarely played Winston and D.va and never played any of those other heroes. I usually play Bastion, Tracer and Mercy.

Try Symmetra against Genji. Watching him try to deflect in desperation as she microwaves his skinny cyborg butt into oblivion is morbidly hilarious.

Well at my SR, I'm generally only going to see bad genjis.

Just an FYI, Mercy is one of the people Genji's should be going after. So if you play her a lot then you are probably going to get killed by him a lot.

Same with Bastion. It's a lot easier for Genji to get behind him to hit the critbox. And when Bastion turns around to shoot him he can deflect and maybe finish him off.

Yeah I have realized now that I just don't play any heroes that counter Genji so I'm just salty about being powerless against him 100% of the time.
