What are your thoughts on Genji and Venture as particular standouts on HP not being nerfed? Is it because they don't want to buff their damage? Or are Genji and Venture not the heroes we think they are and they are actually backline snipers and I been playing the heroes wrong?

honestly i didnt expect venture to get the HP nerf bc 9/10 times when i hear a high ranked player talk about venture, they essentially say venture is so niche that they're essentially a throw pick. which goes WAY against my personal experience. i would have loved to see the character with an invuln every 10 seconds (plus both abilities being mobility oriented) to get an HP nerf

Lucio's burst is considerably harder to hit, whereas Genji can shoot all 3 shurikens like a shotgun with no delay. Also you're never going to consistently one-tap Tracer as Lucio because of recall, or blink, or small hitbox, or because there are better targets to be shooting at. Conversely, a Tracer can more consistently one-clip a Lucio because of his health nerf.

I believe the reason they didn't put genji to 225 is that they can't do compensation buff like how they did to sombra, same applies to venture. if genji got any compensation buff to his blade, shurikens, dash damage. you get the nanoblade one shot back again. i do believe that genji's identity being held down by ana, genji being nano slave is what ruining the hero, because you have this small line, if he is above it he is broken, if he is below it he is mediocre at best ( 30 to 29 dmg in ow1), blade one shot gone in season9 etc. my proposal is make blade like pulse bomb, put blade at 2.8 seconds ( he get's 4 swings), and make his blade cost 50% less. now nanoblade can be played around with bubble/ life grip/ any ability that wastes genji's time. but now genji get his blade more often and it is more of a utility tool. dash reset if he needs it, chasing down targets, forcing CDs like immortality or suzu and of course he can combo with other abilities more frequently. genji is a hero where he have burst damage, but not as high as other heroes, and have dps but also not high enough to be threatening, he doesn't have an edge.

I have a lot to say here. I agree with most of what you say, but to keep it short I am going to talk about rat only since he is my field of most knowledge. Junkrat straight up wouldn't be able to survive with 225. Junkrat already is one of the easiest squishies to kill on 250. He has the biggest hitbox and headhitbox of the squishies (without counting bastion and torb). He has the worst mobility of the "mobile" characters. His mine movement is insanely easy to follow and to shoot him out of the air and he also sacrifices a lot of dmg and lethality using it unlike most other characters. That is not to say that this season finaly got the most close to evening the playing field between junk and both flyers, it would quickly become one sided again with him at 225. Not to say, he would become unplayable into dva who already easily eats him up, just imagine if he was 225. He would not be able to play the game. Those are the biggest examples, but he would struggle a lot more into hitscans, he would be even more vulnerable to dive comps. Junkray does not work on 225 until he gets a lot of improvements. The primary change was good, but after a good test, I believe we need to straight up limit the last bounces to get rid of the randomness there. He will need a faster primary, which I have been saying and Spilo has also been insisting on it for a while. After his second bounce he should loose the direct impact dmg. His mine needs some improvements on terms of health, and steel trap has to get a small rework at some point bc its one of the worst utilities in the game. After that is done, that is when you could likely reduce his hp, and even then, I do not think it is a good idea to reduce his hp.

I always write book long comments and save them to notes as I rant. But I’m gonna let it fly a bit. I’m a low rank silver to gold player at my best. But I have play and excelled at a lot of sports and competed a lot. One thing that sticks out to me objectively is that we live in a world trying to circumvent hard work. When you do that you devalue rankings. Now nothing means anything and many don’t care. Competition is built on the high of a meaningful win. That really means you have to have the painful losses. Not losses because you were winning and someone tagged in a ringer, but knowing that it was a hard fight and you got outplayed at the end. That creative play that makes you applaud your adversaries. Idk how to replicate that all the time but I can tell you this. The more things feel cheap, the less respect people will have for their opponents. I say all that to say fundamentally if this balance team wants to win things should seem clear. We either have one shots or we don’t. I’d say there is a lot more room to play with the mobility vs messing with one shots. Like can hanzo have 2 or 3 lunges? Can we nerf Torb turret range so he doesn’t get value from the toilet? Should translocator have a range limit and weaken her throw? Maybe Widow grapple doesn’t reach as far? Idk the answers that why I follow along and read what you say. But somethings do feel like they reward/ punish you for just picking them alone

One thing I don’t see a lot of people talk about is that Genji has an asinine amount of bugs at times. Not as many as Doomfist, but still a good number. The amount of times I have had my blades ruined by that goof ass no reg glitch needs to be studied, because with an ultimate as bad as Dragonblade is right now, I feel like the fact the server itself has a chance to just say “yeah no fuck you” to my Q is diabolical. This has been a running bug for 2 years by the way, and I’m a console player so I’m not the best but I like to believe I know a bit of what I’m talking about.

I feel like there should be a few exceptions to the 225hp rule, 1 being Juno she is extremely easy to kill with no "get out of jail" abilities (e.g. anti-nade, lamp, fade [moira and reaper], recall, suzu, TP, ect) + she has 0 self healing abilites outside of her Ult. so she should go back to 250hp maybe add shields instead of health. Genji should stay at 250hp while they look for a fix for him, if you nerf him without that fix you will kill him completely and that can make fixing him almost impossible to do without making him broken later. so fine tuning numbers and stuff with tons of data is better than going, "well this character is dead and I have no idea how to bring them back, so lets give him 32dmg shurikans and a 4sec dash" Bap should be at 225hp for a different reason, He can heal himself with regen burst [that gets stronger at low HP] (get out of jail ability 1), He can also lamp himself for a few seconds (get out of jail ability 2), sure he can escape with his jump but it is pretty much just a high ground shortcut. Also dmg snipers should have low health being able to kill anyone outside of tank in 1-2 shots and being able to take a lot of dmg in return without dying, is a really bad and unhealthy idea so i can see why hanzo got nerfed there. Imagine a widow with 250hp like hanzo had, she would dominate and make the game super unfun and make it a "keep the widow alive" game.

@Olmeuu I know and I like Juno for that "anxiety filled" play style and I don't want her to have self healing. I was just saying that because she has that health nerf she just falls over if you make a single mistake. I would like you to play against ashe and widow + dive, you will fall over instantly as soon as you use anything other than ult or hyper ring and if they kill your other support first you will die shortly after unless you run back to spawn or your tank distracts all enemies. My point isn't that she is extremely mobile my point is, in the current state of the game she just dies, unlike Moira, Bap, Reaper, Tracer who all have a "NOPE not dying" button, Juno has to play cover all the time and can't be caught out once or else she falls over. Lucio is really fast and can change his verticality and speed alot and is extremely hard to kill because of that + can self heal. Juno is linear in speed and verticality + No self heal, very easy to kill. Also like zero duelling potential unlike lucio who can duel tracers, reapers and some tanks.

The thing about Genji, Hanzo, Venture etc. is not that they are stronger characters that need nerfs rather the skill peak you reach with them is higher than other characters because how they have been designed. For instance, let's compare Genji vs Cass. Genji has faster movement and, he can climb, and double jump you can improve on that. He can close distance and damage you or get away with a dash (can be very effective especially if you land a kill), can shoot long range and short range, wide and thin and can also deflect shots. These are all abilities that you progress as you play him more. On the other hand, Cassidy skill primarily relies on steady movement with pinpoint shots (effective only at short-medium range) which you can improve. The Cass roll can be effective in evading heavy strikes but that's about it. His other abilities are not that you can improve on to drastically to make a difference. This type of disparity is what causes problems in the game when both players have similar skill level but one has more tools to go. Hope this helps.

Her lethality against 225 HP also increased, so I would agree with this.

Of course tank power would be an issue, but they're just gonna change them again next season anyway...

Junk can't consistently get close to him like any other mobility character can and also sacrifices his 2 shot doing so as well I do think hanzo needs a buff tho (he should have storm arrow on 85 and have only 4 arrows so he can 3 shot squshies with it)

An off topic comment but I really think that no one discusses an overall loss of identity in the damage role. It used to be an actual **damage** role until tanks were buffed into beinf the raid boss all in 1. They became backline hunters until supports got better damage and dueling potential than dps. Dps became a "one shot" one trick pony role and they decided to practically remove any one shot from any character except widow Dps became "dps passive" support to the tank 1v1s so it got nuked and basically removed from the game. So what is the dps role now? Just a filler role to either help supports focus on healing instead of spending time destroying flankers or help clean up low hp targets left by a tank. No agency, no purpose and only more nerfs to any dps that can actually dps. Yeah with a big enough skill gap on certain meta characters dps is a fine role and is still fun, but overall balance wise its the most worthless part of the team.

As someone who plays Cassidy a lot, i hate the damage nerf he received in the mid S11 patch. His effective range dropped significantly and you cant off angle as effective as you once could, it absolutely sucks having to play alongside your tank most of the time. I would much rather he had the same damage he did in S9 and have his HP reduced from 275 back down to 250.

Honestly, this all sounds like bullshit from Blizzard, maybe we should just cancel all the changes that were made in season 9? Seriously, instead of adding passive DPS and increasing HP, they should have simply reduced the healing of supports and reworked the abilities of Mercy and Kiriko, and of course reworked Mauga himself after season 8. p.s. I partly agree that the junk is mobile, but if he cannot kill and the probability of this is 80%, then he simply cannot return. Once you are flanked, you will either kill or die. Changes in HP will clearly be detrimental to him, however, I agree to this if they increase the damage of the mine and return the one-shot.

I think toning the hp pools down is the right direction and the devs just needed to go further with it. The only dps/support I think shouldn’t get an hp nerf are genji, soldier, bastion, torb, tracer, widow, brig, zenyatta, and maybe Ana or Mei. Everyone else should have lost 25 hp in this patch. Cassidy should receive a range buff but go down to 250. Ashe is still stupid good with an escape tool and should be 225. Illari, bap, and Lifeweaver all got movement and no reason Lifeweaver should be 275 regardless of if he’s underwhelming. Reaper could go down to 275. Then also just adjust armor on the tanks and genji is gonna become real playable again along with hanzo. Also nerf sombra and moira extra damage buffs last patch.

Imma be honest, I think venture and reaper's hit boxes are too chunky to lowwer to bellow where they are considering thier poor range. Also, neither have as much constant mobility as other charecters do, it's alot slowwer/telegraphed than other mobility options and are on cooldowns, decently long ones at that. Finally, in my opinion, if reaper (needs) his health lowered to bellow 300, then season 9 was a complete and total failure and should be reverted. Mind you, Reaper had a 20% max hp increase in s9 while most characters had a 25%. Not to mention he also had one of the lowest increase to his weapon size. The only buffs reaper received were a death Blossom damage increase and the spreed decrease and maybe something else I don't remember.

I just don’t really see a need for venture to get an HP nerf, they have a kit where any small tweak can really make or break the character meta-wise, and I actually think that right now venture is in a good sweet-spot. Technically they don’t have to give venture buffs in return for the HP nerf (like echo), but then I think venture would be unnecessarily bad when they were already in a healthy state

They are also constantly balancing genji around nano and blue beam to the point the character can’t see any type of buffs to make him self sufficient, more so it’s annoying how his “blade” is supposed to be where all his power is but it’s not that powerful the ultimate is meh it’s not as threatening as people like to make it out to be. I think nano blade is fine imo it has counters that aren’t even ultimates while being an investment of two ults for the potential reward of a team wipe. People forget how much blade and genji’s ult has been nerfed to favor supports in ow1 his ult generation caught two nerfs so he isn’t capable of building blade at the same rate as ana or any other support so a support ALWAYS has an answer for blade ALWAYS. Yet it somehow is still a problem? I call bs.

Wasn’t the 225 health change targeted at hyper mobile characters?? Bap is definitely not hyper mobile so nerfing his health makes literally no sense. Same with venture. The only reason Hanzo got nerfed was to compensate the indirect buff of him being able to one shot more characters. And genji is the only genuinely surprising non nerfed character. Tho they probably like where his damage is right now and don’t wanna buff it to compensate

1 minute in and im already dying because of the Bap rant, it feels like im hearing someone echo my feelings and it feels so vindicating. Especially Torb, Idc what anyone says he's bloated, 1 ability that buffs your fire rate, movement speed, and gives health? I get that his other ability is a turret, but it still feels like poor design to me. If any other character in the game had that it'd been nerfed off frame 1. Also Abby, I had aa random idea for a Genji video, was curious if you could give input, or maybe interested in helping out. It is a Genji video and I feel like you might have some input to help me format things or tell me its not worth it lol.

3:58 I disagree with this entire sentiment. If a character's only weakness comes from counter-swapping, that is not a skill issue. It does not take skill to swap Zarya or Sym or any beam character to kill a Genji. It should instead be changed for beams to fall in line with everything else, so that abilities like deflect, D.M., Kinetic Grasp, etc. aren't solely countered by those abilities. The fact that Genji manages to avoid nerfs because a select few heroes counter him into the floor is ridiculous. They need to remove that stupid weakness and properly balance him. Also, believe it or not, 300 HP is *less* than what Reaper *should* have gotten. If the devs properly scaled the health pools up, Reaper would've gotten 333.33 HP, so he is in fact *WEAKER* than he was previously, relative to the other characters. He is also not S-tier on his own, he had 4 individual pocket heroes get buffed this season who excel at negating Reaper's weaknesses. I know character's got nerfed to 225 which, theoretically, should have increased his lethality. But why does Genji, someone who was previously stronger than Reaper last season, not also vastly dominate this season? He is far better at dueling than Reaper is, so he should've increased in strength as well, since these nerfs are far more valuable to him than they are to Reaper. For that same reason, I don't believe Reaper deserves any nerfs because the second those pocket heroes lose their power, Reaper will end up in the worst spot he has ever been in in the entire history of OW.

Armor change is so braindead.

Also it makes no sense how they try to kill any skill in the game. Lets make bullets large as fuck so that yoir aim doesnt matter, lets reduce tank headshots so that your aim doesnt matter, lets increase the healthpools so that even a grandpa can react and deny any kill with 99 no skill abilities, lets remove one shot combos for the same very reason. God fucking dammit, they try to remove all those "frustrating" mechanics and make everything so consistent that the game feels so boring already and every single interaction is so consistent that its more and morr common to have those "I guess I just die" moments or every kill feeling more like "well, I spent resources so he couldnt do anything to me".
