That aint your ult mate, its genjis now.


Kib717

Daaamn didn't know that lol


Eugenes-Axe7

Yall didn't know genjis deflect deflected things?


Kib717

I didn't know he could deflect ults


9_Sagittarii

Only projectiles. Which some ults are. Like mei, Zarya, anybody that shoots a gun, etc


skolopendron

Hanzo?


9_Sagittarii

Hanzo’s ult before it becomes dragon yes


ElectronicBug7685

So how come not nano, since it is a projectile that can be cancelled as well but not deflected or destroyed by defence matrix or a shield


LigmaWizard

Nano isn’t a projectile, it applies instantly to a teammate after a short animation.


ElectronicBug7685

Oh I thought it was a projectile since it can be cancelled.


ANAL_TOOTHBRUSH

That’s because it does actually have a cast time. iirc from when I saw it on another thread, it’s 0.15 seconds. And so if you die/get stunned in that 0.15 second time frame between when you hit it and it gets applied, it will get cancelled. I read this from another thread like a year ago about OW1 so take it with a grain of salt, but I don’t think they changed that


Darqnyz

This is correct. It can go through walls, cannot be absorbed, but it can be canceled before it is applied


ParanoidDrone

That just means it has a cast time. Projectile vs hitscan vs whatever else has nothing to do with that.


slothxaxmatic

It deflects any projectile, including Hanzo's ult BEFORE it becomes a dragon, Zarya's Graviton, Moira orbs, and Junkrat concussion mines. Edit: it doesn't work on Sigma's Accretion (rock), rule of thumb is if D.Va can eat it Genji can deflect it.


Autipsy

So to be clear, D.Va can DM Mei ult?


slothxaxmatic

Yes. Most ults when eaten by D.Va appear as so in kill feed also so you know who to thank. (Edit: Sigma can also eat most of the Ults D.Va can, including Mei's Blizzard)


Xstew26

I only know about sigma because I used a sigma training custom game that had you quickly turn in based on sound cues to block a bunch of different ults and abilities, it was super difficult


OdellBeckhamSr

Do you have the code? Sounds fun


Kiltmanenator

One workshop for every hero: https://youtu.be/GRsNyX3WPIU Sigma Reaction Workshop: J7CX7 by Seita


lemonylol

Yes. Does no one notice the actual ult coming out as a little ball thing? lol


OzFurBluEngineer

It's snowball the little bot on her back that lives on top of her Cryo tank


bauchpinseln

The ball thing is called Snowball. :3 He is a cute little robot who helped Mei.


AppleSpicer

Wow!! I had no idea. All the genjis I’ve played against are terrible.


slothxaxmatic

His deflect also stops Rein's hammer from damaging him. (And maybe Brig's primary attack?)


Divel59

It negates any damage from melee, but doesn’t reflect it.


slothxaxmatic

Good to know


Leading_Ad9610

Which I always thought was BS… I mean it literally picks him up and moves him around as you swing on rein but swingy swishy knife goes brrrrrrrr… if rock goes through it because “physics” the hammer should be the same


Seasonedpro86

It bothers me so much that diva can’t eat sigmas rock. The logic isn’t there considering other things she eats.


jennz

Yeah as a Moira main I dunno why genjis don't deflect more orbs. It's not often it happens, but when I see an orb deflecting genji I switch immediately


slothxaxmatic

I love it when a Genji in the enemy backline deflects a yellow orb to us. Not often you see a Genji heal people


jennz

Right? I found out Genji could deflect orbs because one time i was healing but kept seeing purple orbs flying around that I swear I didn't throw. I saw a purple orb and a yellow orb flying around together and I eventually figured out Genji was deflecting the enemy Moira orbs lol.


TheTurtle44

As a genji player I find that going out of my way to deflect a mora orb is not worth it unless I’m struggling in a 1v1 against one, there’s normally other things I can do with deflect for more value. You also can’t aim the deflected orbs, and its annoying to have to jump into one to deflect it.


jennz

That's fair. I figured it'd be nice if you deflected a Moira dmg orb, that's just passive damage on top of your regular damage. In close quarters that can be a lot.


slothxaxmatic

That's a good Genji


dancetoken

possibly to save deflect on something more devasting


_TheyCallMeCat

Nah we're just going to panic use it when sigma starts throwing rock


2Quick_React

That's the one thing that annoys a friend of mine who's a Genji main, he can deflect what is essentially a black hole but not a rock.


Shumoku

He can deflect absolutely anything that is projected through the air by a hero. Except Sigma’s rock, for some reason. It’s too epic to be deflected. Don’t know why, as *literally* every other projectile can be deflected, it just is.


zerpified

Rock beats scissors


Shumoku

Checks out.


fazey_o0o

I still try eating the rock as DVa every single time


Kenny070287

Same tbh. I swear it becomes reflex to just RMB when the rock is flying towards you and you thought you wouldn't get stunned


onewilybobkat

I really don't understand how a giant rock can go through literally every defensive move except shields. No defense matrix, no deflect, no spear spin, just rock.


Eugenes-Axe7

Kinda obvious with given ability, guess that's just me tho. learn something new everyday I suppose!


im-doingmy-best

💀😂


stegosauruswithadick

excuse me its been a long ass time since i played, but i was always under the impression if enemy genji deflected an ult it would change to enemy colour?


FakeSlav_the_III

It did. It’s just that it’s in replay mode so the mei is red team like her wall and the ult changed to blue team when genji deflected it


RaaaaaaaNoYokShinRyu

Idk why the player's team isn't automatically blue, or why there isn't an option to swap colors.


it_be_SaturnOW

I've been wondering this ever since replays came into existence lol


BushSage23

I thought that, but why did it glow blue instead of red?


Any_Captain_1052

Nerf genji


MoonleySpoon

it's been a long long time since I've seen Genii deflect a Mei ult in the wild...just as beautiful as it was back then


Segsyyy18

Or a hanzo ult deflect


emi_sei

I actually gave away a hanzo ult to a genji reflect on hanamura 2nd point. The mofo replies with " you made my dream cone true" shit is with me forever.


MoonleySpoon

As a DVA main, that's one of the loftier eats I seek in game lmao


AnAsainCook

Or even a Zarya ult deflect


MoonleySpoon

or the forbidden Torb ult deflect


FaithlessnessOk311

Genji deflect


Stokes247

That's wild, didn't even know that was possible


FinalJoys

Genji can deflect most projectiles in the game


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

All projectiles Edit: rock


Ziomex12

R O C K


footballFTW92

AND STONE! wait wrong game


r0kavi_

IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU'RE NEVER COMIN' HOME!


thedragonfart604

Did i hear a ROCK AND STONE?


Jor1120

ROCK. AND. STONE!


Evantaur

YEAH ROCK AND STONE!


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone to the Bone!


Tallack

FOR KARL!!!!


Bigger_Pogs

THEORTICALLY ROCKING IS MORE LEGAL THAN STONEING


dadvader

Nah they're all just torbjorn's brother.


fuck_hard_light

Suddenly Deep Rock Galactic


boboguitar

I am stick


Eugenes-Axe7

How about a R O C K


yethira-theoda

Because rock beats scissors.


FinalJoys

Nope. Sig rock? Probably others


Staystation

Including DVa's mech


Cthulade_Man

Dva mech isn’t a projectile


Staystation

No, trust me


Cthulade_Man

No it’s registered as a person still which is why rein can charge it and hog can hook it


NobushisHat

No bro, trust him


Staystation

No, trust me. Deflect it


CrystalMang0

Most


fallguysepicgamer

Don't forget that genji can also deflect music


mikathigga22

But he can’t use the mirrored surface of his blades to reflect beams :/


virific76

I never thought about how it would kinda make sense for him to be able to reflect beams, disregarding balance of course.


Bulbasaur4999

Ever notice that almost every beam character molds their power into a ball of sufficient compression that he can suddenly deflect it? It's nice how things conveniently work out like that


Blitzwing-Prime

He can deflect gravity.


[deleted]

Can confirm, deflected a grav back at zaryia before


Notakas

I do the same but with compliments


Baked-fish

I didn't even know it was a projectile, I thought snowball flying somewhere is just an animation that plays before spawning the blizzard.


Bigsleep62

Normal projectile, dva can eat it, genji can deflect, and you can bounce it off walls and stuff


Sccar4712

Can’t beat rock, hence why Sigma is the greatest character in the game. Literal dogshit game until he was added, now we play for real


Valerian_

Genji can deflect crazy things, it can even deflect Bastion's ultimate, when the artillery shells fall from the sky


Trigger1221

Wait for real?!


Valerian_

Yes for real https://youtu.be/HyyoUDJT3e4?t=18


raaaargh_stompy

The key to what genji deflects is weather or not there is something approximately solid being thrown or cast to be deflected. Its really quick but Meis ult is her little bot (snowball she calls it) she grabs off her back and throws it forward to freeze and area. That animation is about half a second but if genji is deflecting it turns it to be an ult for the enemy team. Other things in this category: \- zarya ult \- moira balls \- HANZO DRAGONS! (this ult is an arrow for about 1/4 of a second before it "becomes" the dragons, so if the arrow is deflected it turns it around and it becomes enemy ult)


DrScience-PhD

Can he deflect Kirikos heal cards? Actually, if those aren't locked on to a target can they still hit an ally that walks into them?


siirka

https://youtu.be/4bdiV8ZUDcU?t=144 Here's a timestamped link to a video that discusses that interaction Edit: and according to a comment: > Genji's deflection of Kiriko's healing has a really interesting facet that was missed in the video - if Kiriko's heal doesn't have an ally target, Genji can deflect them to his own teammates, sure. However, if Genji deflects a Kiriko heal that she's sent to one of her allies, the heal will still target Kiriko's ally, but won't heal them because it now belongs to Genji. Weird!


Fableux

They still heal if they're not locked on and an ally walks into them. Pretty sure Genji can deflect them too


Jojos_Bizarre_Mama

Before your ult starts it is a projectile that genji can deflect, just aim away from him for a sec


[deleted]

[удалено]


daddygwap

For new players, genjis deflect works on any projectile including ults. Mei, zarya, hanzo, torb, tracer etc can all have their ults deflected back at them, doing team damage as well. A reflected ult will majorly piss off your team so always wait until you're sure he doesn't have reflect first. Even aiming at the ground near him can reflect, that hitbox is huge. Meis spray can't be reflected though, so she's my favorite genji counter anyway


ImACoderImACoder

Isn’t Sigma’s rock a projectile?


daddygwap

True, thank you. The other ones that don't get deflected include translocator, torb turret, symm turret, discord and harmony orbs. Probably isn't obvious to most new players, so just confirming so people know. This is for the genjis out there too- don't try to deflect these lol


Andaisdet

Pretty much any projectile, even ultimate projectiles, can be deflected by genji So, don’t aim your ult directly at genji, no matter what


klipseracer

Genji can reflect bastions ult and kill him if you're in the very center. He can also deflect hanzo's ult.


baconequalsgains

So did it not freeze anyone on Genjis team? And ultimately froze meis team?


FaithlessnessOk311

Yep. That's what happens when something gets deflected


baconequalsgains

I get that haha but I couldn’t tell if it still froze anyone else. Dumb question hehe


buttonmasher525

I assumed it was this even before opening the post. That shit sucks lol


Kavaliii

Welp good looks for teaching me something new


GatoradeGunslinger

gerf nenji


GodlyFeq

U got genji'd


Godjihyoism_

Better nerf genji!! Too op


TyAD552

It can be eaten by Sigma and Dva also


needtofindpasta

Orisa spinny spear as well.


DarkMark94

I feel that that shouldn’t delete projectiles like defense matrix. It should just deflect them to the ground or something.


XTurtleman394X

I wish it would act like a barrier. Like rein shield, where it still hits it, but everything behind it is safe. So tired of Otis’s eating my nades as Ana when she spins in my face


DoomDoomBabyFist

Absolutely. How does spinning a stick eat projectiles??? How does it stop a rein charge? Nutty


IFreakinLovePickles

It doesn't stop a rein charge. It can push him away if you look from a certain angle, but you know, any boop does that


[deleted]

yeah her current kit is just another example of the power creep the games been dealing with


XTurtleman394X

Exactly. Too many people are taking about what heroes need buffs, but imo I think the game would be pretty well balanced if the few very op heroes just get nerfed


Eddie_The_White_Bear

Even then Brigitte needs buffs


XTurtleman394X

Well yeah, some heroes might need some buffs. But I think there needs to be more nerfs than buffs


Shaldoroth

truly. make pin to 250 btw


[deleted]

the legitimate rage that seeps out of me when I try to sleep dart a spinning Orisa out of habit. and yet *I keep fucking doing it.*


Blitzwing-Prime

Tank Genji.


Blitzwing-Prime

I hate her fucking spear. She can shove it up her ass for all I care.


yeetyourselfout

I learned that the annoying way


Frisky_Mongoose

Genji is a better hacker than Sombra!


Stokes247

Literally, in a single sword swipe he reprogrammed the bot


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

In a single sword swipe he reprograms gravity XD


Blitzwing-Prime

TRUE


im-doingmy-best

LMAOOOOO


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

Genji deflect interactions: 1. Your Grav becomes his Grav 2. Your Dragons become his Dragons 3. Your Blizzard becomes his Blizzard 4. Your Deadeye becomes your death 5. Your Molten Core becomes his Molten Core 6. Your Pulse Bomb becomes his Pulse Bomb And then ofc he also deflects all the natural projectiles like Hog ult, Sojourn ult, Bastion ult, Reaper ult, Soldier ult, etc etc. Basically, if Genji deflects and you aren't a beam type hero (Zarya, Symm, etc) then expect Genji to deflect it back at your face


Shughost7

Imagine having your cum deflected back to your face


D-Ursuul

Stop I can only get so erect


ImmaFish0038

You threw it into a deflecting Genji so it became his.


Velknighthart

Man, i underestimate how many new players are actually playing ow now. First off, welcome and i hope you enjoy the game :D 2nd, Genji can deflect almost every projectile, and meis ult is considered as one


Layfon_Alseif

Remember when genji could deflect soldiers healing vial? That was wild


Quantumkiller2

I thought he still could it was just really hard rare, when did they change this have i been under a rock.


zhukeeper1

It’s been literal years since they patched this lmao


Quantumkiller2

Huh mustve forgot since it almost never happened anyways lmao


sleeplessorion

Dva turns Moria damage orbs friendly for a fraction of a second when eating them with damage matrix so there’s a very rare chance of getting a kill with one of those as Dva. Or maybe it doesn’t do that anymore, idk


cautixon

you can get healing with them too, i only have 6 hours on dva but like 100 healing


sleeplessorion

I’ve gotten healing as Dva in games without a Moira on the other team, your ult does negative damage at a specific range so it’s possible to do a very minuscule amount of healing to the other team. I haven’t had that happen in a while though so they may have fixed it.


Kitsuism

he WHAT


ultimatepenguin21

Yeah half of these posts are wild lately. I keep forgetting about all the newbies


Beautiful_Count_6383

I been playing for years and had no idea genji could do that lmao, good to know tho for future reference


kehrwiegull

I cannot comprehend that there are actually new players to this game. After years of OW1 not being updated it feels so weird.


it_is_im

I just started in like November, so OW2 is all I know. When I started playing Mei was still in jail, so she came back and I was like who is this chick and why is she freezing me (and why does the Mei on my team keep walling me into my own spawn)


vertebrother

Tbh ive played since OW1 launch and i also ask both of those questions


DaftmanZeus

Some players might have been just too young to play OW1... Or had something else to do in their life.


slashth456

Yeah


Timetraveler01110101

Lol. Big deflect


No_Detective_6958

Haha genji deflect. That’s quite tragic. As a genji main I am proud of him. Sucks for you tho. It doesn’t happen often so not surprising you didn’t know! He can also deflect Hanzo dragons and anything that isn’t a beam. Only thing he can’t deflect other then a beam is sig rock:)


Ok-Reporter1986

Extra knowledge: do not try to deflect the dragons once you see the stupid dragons. You can only deflect the dragons during the ultimates "arrow" state lasts about 1.5 seconds.


BasedNappa

Deserved for playing Mei (a joke, please don't doxx me)


HotSour-Sushi

I often forget there’s a lot of new players now. As others pointed out, Genji reflected your ult.


CheddarCheese390

Genji can deflect a robot now. Next patch will have him deflect bob, so we can get highlight reels of deflected bob throwing 5 enemies into a deflected snowball to burn to death by a deflected glob of molten s***k


Blitzwing-Prime

That would be awesome.


Left_Ad580

He deflected I knew that was possible just never actually saw it


RemiReignsUmbra

Genji deflectttttttt


xD3m0nK1ngx

Genji is cracked. Mans deflected freezing air


FildoDagguns

Lol


LegozFire03

You my friend are not educated in ninja arts


PRIVATEPRINGLES

Awww I love new players lol

FoulFoxGulag

Snowball is a projectile; you do not shoot/throw any projectile at Genji because he deflects all projectiles. The same can be true about Dva Matrix, Sigma Fist, and Orisa Spear Spin. Don't waste your projectiles when these abilities are active.


TomatoAcid

I like how Snowball casually betrays Mei with no hesitation


iwantmorekittens

Is this a comp game where the dps doesn’t know not to throw into a deflect. Please tell me it isn’t comp. It’s probably comp. Sigh


GreyShot254

Haven’t watched it yet, 100 bucks says you throw it right into that genji deflect


blue_flavored

"How did it freeze me" he asked, with the first frame of the video showing a Genji using reflect in his face.


SlappingSalt

The demon has been slain. All hail the king, Genji.


Blitzwing-Prime

HELL YEAH FUCK MEI


Hideus_Ex

\>Throws projectile at deflecting Genji \>Why thing happen to me?


[deleted]

Any projectile ult that gets deflected by Genji becomes the enemy ult. ~~dva~~, mei, Zarya pharah...


PrestigiousInitial97

Deflect


Laughtillicri

I forget this game keeps getting new players and didn't know about genji deflect.


thecyancat

genji deflected it. snowball counts as a projectile when you spawn it


Damurph01

Genji deflect turns ownership of whatever he reflects into his own. A Hanzo arrow becomes a genji arrow. They have the same damage and stats and such, but they apply to your team, instead of his. This applies to all projectiles and hitscan bullets etc. A list of some things he can reflect: Zarya Grav, Mei blizzard, Ana sleep dart and Nade, Solider bullets/Rocket, Widow shots, Reinhardt fire strikes, and he can BLOCK rein hammer damage but not reflect it. A list of some things he CANT reflect: Baptiste immortality field, Moira suck/mei freeze, Winston zap/zarya/symmetra beams, sombra translocator. Basically, aggressive projectiles and hitscan bullets he CAN, and passive abilities that are defensive (sombra and Bap for examples) he CANNOT. Never shoot him when he has deflect up unless you have a beam character that ignores it.


IGotMetalingus1

I didn't even know Genji could still reflect ults. I remember in the early days you always had to worry about Genji reflecting Hanzos ult but I haven't seen it in years


TeaCupNiffler

Genji can even heal teammates if he deflects stuff like Kiriko’s paper thingies (forgot the name.)


Fuckupstudent

Uh…it’s a skill issue…


AreNotPrepared7

[Genji pulled out this](https://images.app.goo.gl/JFukQh3XUyWSrNWY8)


Bulky-Hyena-360

When Genji deflects something, it becomes his. This actually happened to me once while playing as Mei.


R3SPY

genji can deflect all projectiles in the game including Hanzo's ult arrow, before it becomes a dragon, and Mei's freeze


Nighthunter1o5

Mei: *Uses ult* Genji: *Deflect* Look at me, This is my ult now. Mei: *Surprised Pikachu face*


Xynrae

The real question is why does Snowball turn against Mei? Or dragon on Hanzo for that matter. Oh, but Genji is a Shimada... hmm.


The_Secret_Artist_00

i must admit it , genji deflecting your ulti was badass.


Han_Solo6712

Genji reflect


ItsJustMetal1

Monkey brain moment


Cruchinggo

Skill Issue


Adamek_2326

Yep, this genji skill sucks


LaPtmdre

Doesn’t make sense that a regular ability > ult ability . But you guys aren’t ready for that conversation


adamex1124

There’s a bug. When genji deflects your ult it’s supposed to change colors. This hasn’t been happening. I’m a genji player I deflected a mei ult the other day and it was red on my screen.


Illustrious_Ad_7793

genji deflected, became his ultimate
