His high mobility makes him hard to hit with projectiles, and he can Deflect Zenyatta's Orb of Destruction right back at him, including a fully-charged Orb Volley. Zenyatta, like other healers, is a high-priority target for Genji. Additionally, Genji's high mobility means he can easily get onto Widowmaker's perch, force her into close-quarters combat, and finish her off with ease. Second, a Genji with Deflect who has very good aim with the ability can easily turn Widowmaker's one shot kill potential against herself. First, Genji's unique ability to double jump makes him a much more difficult target. While Widowmaker can take out Genji from afar because of her high damage hitscan weapon, she needs to be weary of several things. He can also use Deflect to dodge Chain Hook and turn Whole Hog against Roadhog. Due to Roadhog's short range and slow fire rate, both of these will be troublesome against Genji. Genji has a lot of mobility, and is also able to out-range Roadhog. His high mobility stops her from easily escaping, and his Deflect can turn Mercy's blaster shots back at her if she chooses to attack. Genji will regularly attack the backline and will prove to be a deadly threat to Mercy. Additionally, Genji can deflect Hanzo's one-shot kill potential right back at him. Hanzo has trouble dealing with a Genji that gets too close to him, as his high mobility makes it hard to hit him with projectiles. Regardless of Bastion's health, Genji can deflect the sentry gun fire to give Bastion a nasty surprise. If Bastion is not careful and is on low health, Genji can easily deflect any incoming damage, and Bastion will suffer from his own medicine. Ana's self-defense tools, Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade, can both be deflected, and will severely cripple her team if it hits one of them.ĭepending on how much health Bastion has, Genji can seriously counter it. Genji is a flanker who normally attacks the backline, as such, Ana is a high-priority target for him. ![]() Keep in mind that Graviton Surge can be Deflected. Her barriers will negate a huge chunk of Dragonblade's damage, with each one requiring two swings to destroy. While Genji's mobility can prove to be troublesome, his relative lack of damage and the Particle Cannon's ability to pass through Deflect gives Zarya a bigger advantage, and usually forces Genji to flee. If Genji activates Dragonblade, Winston can retaliate with Primal Rage to survive the attack and keep Genji away from vulnerable targets. Genji's escape option, Swift Strike, is on a longer cooldown than Winston's Jump Pack, so he can chase him down if he tries to flee. Winston's Tesla Cannon auto-tracks Genji, reducing his mobility's effectiveness, and attacks through Deflect. Genji also has to worry about the Sentry Turrets, because they slow him down and do hefty damage if stacked. Even if Genji is able to escape, the beam still damages him 0.5 seconds after he flees, meaning he is as good as dead if Symmetra catches him. The Photon Projector's primary fire locks onto and auto-tracks Genji, meaning his mobility is not of much use, and cannot be deflected, either. She can hack nearby healthpacks to prevent him from from regaining his health if he manages to escape. ![]() She can hack him through his Deflect which will prevent him from using his Swift Strike and leave him with little means of survival. Although his Shurikens are capable of massive damage, they aren't overly reliable in tense situations and he usually relies heavily on both of his abilities to be effective. It will also disable his Dragonblade (unless it is currently active) which can be used to save her teammates in critical situations. Sombra's Hack will disable Genji's Swift Strike and Deflect abilities, both of which are essential for his survival. Genji cannot do much in return, and while he can climb her Ice Wall, Mei will still be able to slow him down and kill him. Mei can use her Endothermic Blaster's primary fire to remove Genji's mobility and turn him into a free kill for either herself or her teammates. Also, Sombra can disable any escape moves for Genji, and AoE enemies like Pharah don't need to target him precisely in order to deal damage. Heroes like Symmetra or Winston who don't have to aim make it difficult for Genji to escape or evade fire. ![]() Without his movement abilities, he is vulnerable, unless targeted by low health enemies.
