Now I understand this is just an opinion and a lot of people are just gonna say "git gud," but Genji is just the worst character in Overwatch.
No matter what, what's annoying about Genji is that there is ALWAYS one. Who cares if you're attacking or defending on whatever map or whatever the team comp is, that guy is gonna play Genji.
When a Genji is on my team, he is usually useless as a teammate and doesn't play the objective enough or just dies. When an enemy plays him, they're a Genji main that have the timing of everything down and probably has 30 hours as Genji and 1 hour as their second best character.
He's also so small and agile that it is impossible to hit him, even with characters like Winston or Symmetra at times, and he will just run and jump circles around me and pick me apart.
Now let's get down to the specifics of his abilities:
I despise his dash. Genji has a better teleport than Tracer (another character I hate, but admittedly not as much), because he does damage with it and can do in any direction he looks, including straight upwards. And God forbid be gets a kill because he gets it back immediately. And as if hitting him wasn't hard enough with his double jump and fast movement speed and small body, he can just dash right through you or dash away to safety. It's just frustrating and annoying to deal with a good Genji.
His deflect is annoying. Sometimes you're about to wreck a Genji and he his a button and suddenly he defects all that damage back at you. As if that wasn't annoying enough, he can start attacking you before you even realize he's done defecting. I swear he can attack while his animation is still going. He'll deflect you attacks, dash through you, and finish you off by throwing shurikens at you.
His ult is ridiculous at times. It can two-hit 40% of the heroes. So of course what Genji's do once they build up their ults so quickly is drop in and swing like crazy to get healers and weak heroes, then harass everybody else trying to kill him.
He is just the counter to every character in the game. I mean with a lot of characters, there's at least one other that you just can't do anything against, but nothing is safe from Genji. A lot of people say Mei is a good counter, but Genji can just dash away without freezing or hop around so much it's hard to freeze him quick. If you're unfortunate enough, he can just snipe you with his shurikens (which is great that he has a long range attack like that).
I know I'm not alone in this and I've read and heard other people saying they want him nerfed or something, but of course it's all opinion. People like playing him and that's good for them, but it's annoying that he is just the all around great character for any situation when you like to play him enough to get good at him. Honestly I'm waiting for him to get an update that lets him heal himself like Reaper does.
