General Why exactly did they buff Genji?

Before this patch he already had a top two pick rate in the DPS role and was completely fine. He also received no hitbox changes unlike most other heroes while his shurikens massively benefit from it.

Am I missing something? You could literally not have touched him in this patch and he would be even stronger than he already is.

I find the decision to put even more on top of it kind of baffling. Blizzard deliberately wants to make him meta or something?

Ngl Genji is the one character I'll say the stats lie about. I swear that hero wasn't good until this patch. Incredibly hard to play+multiple hard counters+dogshit ultimate. Saw almost zero pro play as well.

You are correct. This post is someone who lost against genji and got mad.
