I’m surprised Ana wasn’t one of the original lineup of heroes because to this day she’s still the best thing Overwatch has ever done for support players
I mean I bought a t-shirt in the first season of OW1 that was the whole cast and it included Ana. That's how early she was. The crazier thing to think about is that the only heroes who could legitimately heal were Mercy, Lucio, Zen, and Soldier at launch. For people who think powercreep isn't a thing, Mercy did less HPS than she does now, had WAY less mobility, and was a main healer. PS I'm not saying support and healcreep are the only problem. Damage creep is definitely a thing too. Mercy is just an easy example.
Widow says "merci" every time you heal her. Her French is easy to translate, in context Also, Genji blade is such a non-threat without nano, that I get annoyed when the support runs away instead of healing/holding ground
I literally just played genji and i bladed, I was Genuinely surprised to kill a kiri and mercy with it, i was full expecting suzu into tp away plus kiri headshot
there is something really scary about a tank player in the role that he roasted a lot and laughing at his own main wich has been slaughtered to the point that he dies to two characters that are supossed to be weaker than him
My friends are getting to a point where they are learning other roles. But in comp I'm the designated tank as I'm the only "calm" one 😂 and I main Rein. Now I won't play rein as I know what the meta is and where rein sits. So any time I see a rein I'll say "Time to delete him boys." A tank, bastion, and moria can be scary to a rein.
@@Iznoot I guess its personal preference, but Moira has her healing ball and dash ability to secure distance and health. So if you can keep those two in check and always have one or the other during a 1v1 you can likely win. Rein is one of the only "easy" tank 1v1s though. Anyone who can shoot you can pretty much play the same game with you. Except you can heal and get out quickly. This allows for a aggressive play style. Plus the 2 have voice lines together that make me want to fight when I see the other. Rein-"I should squish you like a bug for what you've done!" Moria-"Did you know certain centipedes kill prey 15 times their size?" Rein-"What are you saying?" Moria-"I'm advising my *prey* not to test me." Ever since I heard that its been my priority to scare reins as Moria and scare morias as Rein.
A simple buff wpuld be to add emergy waves to each Dragon Blade slash. This at least solves the issue of Genji without dash just walking forward swinging a wet noodle, he gets cleave and a bit of added range.
Buffing blade wont solve the problem. That's just the classic blizzard "power creep" mindset of "this thing isn't performing give it some extra stuff so it does better" when they should look at the bigger issue and say "this thing isn't working because: healing is too high, time to kill is too low, support abilities are broken, certain cool downs are too short etc. As far as ultimates go, his isn't even that weak, but it has too many ways to get cancelled because of other characters in the cast, not because his own ultimate is weak. Its like how, on paper, Rein ult is very strong because it does a large stun allowing your team to get kills but in reality it just gets suzu'd and it's like you never even pressed Q. TL:DR Buffing characters that are weaker doesn't solve the issue of *why* they're weaker, and buffing them without addressing this won't help anything
@@elmacho1336yep, genji blade still does damage, its one of the few ults when done right goes through zen ult reliably. The only reason why it isnt right now is cause the 2 supports all have 3-4 answers to it. And if 1 fails they can use a 2nd one to deal with it. Its no longer ult trading ults, its 2 ults traded by 2 abilities.
Imagine if blade on top of slash damage inflicted some bleed damage, much like his very old swift strike? It'd give him a lil bit more damage per slash but it's still damage that potentially could be healed through, and it'd also help finish enemies who have a sliver of HP left after slashing them
there are a few ults that people don't fear, I play Hanzo a lot and even at my low level its not feared at all unless there's like a zarya ult. I mostly just use it to zone or create space
@@kaironst2969 Yep more times than not. I will say that Hanzo Ult can be game-changing during overtime when the enemy is forced on the point or risk C9'ing.
@@Fam0usFarm3ras a person who plays reaper, and bastion it’s baffles me how I can wipe out a whole team, immortality field and Zarya bubble with death blossom but can rarely get one person with bastion
I feel like Hanzo ult is being underrated a lot. Its one of the most effective "smokescreen ult" and "zoner" ult in one. I've won many games cuz my hanzo threw a damn covering dragon and let me escape from death a few times lol
Flats, for reference, Mercy, is mercy, but the chocolate is merci, like how Widowmaker says thanks Just play widowmaker and spam the 'thanks' button, you'll get a 'mer-ci', it's kinda the same
I cannot believe I loaded into this video just to be told to re-evaluate my life choices or whatever just because I love one of the most goated candies to ever exist.
I love playing Ana more than any other hero besides Lucio because you can miss 60% of your shots and as long as you sleep dart+grenade the tank and your other support heals you’ll still automatically win most games
Genji blade is INCREDIBLY situational. 1.) No tanks that deal any damage can be in the vicinity. 2.) Mercy must be dead and not respawning anywhere near the ult activation. 3.) Baptiste must also either be on invulnerability field cooldown or dead completely (preferably dead). 4.) Moira must not exist whatsoever throughout the entirety of the game. 5.) Sombra must be deleted from the lobby. 6.) Symmetra cant be a picked option. 7.) Zen ult either negated with Nano or not available. 8.) Lifeweaver must also be dead. 9.) All support and DPS mobility options must be on cooldown or hacked. 10.) Send Zarya back to the Gulag. And finally number 11.) All enemies must be in a relatively close proximity due to limited horizontal mobility. Most of the time, almost all of these steps must be taken all at once in order to get even an inkling of dread for a Dragonblade. Its why you rarely see Genjis ult unless its in QP or very low elo comp games. Genji is still decent outside of his ult if utilized correctly. But holy shit please either remake his dogshit ultimate or buff it for the love of god.
@mryellow6918 really? I did wonder a few games when I was using it. I still got a potg when I missed one lol. One of the worst potgs I've ever seen. 😂
Also why is Ana’s fire rate so high, she’s a burst healer and a sniper you can fire bolt actions fast as hell but not maintain your accuracy like that.
I was just saying the other day to my mercy duo. "Don't worry about genji, even if he blades ill just kill him again." I was torb and guess what happened for a second blade in a row, a shotgun to the face happened.
Blade really is just an accessory. I feel like without a nano or mercy damage boost, or any other kind of support, it's useless. Just something to make the enemy team use ults
as a genji main, if i blade on someone and they got healed by kiriko, mercy, or ana throw her molotov on them i just disengage, ik im not killing them and I'll just die
im closer to canada than flats is and i run into spanish speakers way more often, in fact i dont think ive met any french speakers despite living near the border
Wow i like Candy Corn 😭😭 Also felt you on the Spanish Part but I can count to 10, Say Hi and Good Bye, and Thank you and most of them were from Dora the Explorer 😂
Maybe they should just add an extra effect to genjis blade, like cut a hole through shields or something. Rip rein even more. Nvm. Some additional effect aside from damage, relating to cutting something. Increased damage to deployables like the tree, turret, pylons... Idk.
No one outside of america likes Candy Cane. It is just solidified sugar (though mostly solidified high fructose corn syrup because america is so awful on materials used!). No one outside of the US eats things that the FLAVOUR is just simply sugar. They're some of the worst candy ever made, almost as bad as the banana puffy things. UGH.
Ana having sleep dart is fine because she has no mobility, just ignore her ability that also heals her, does 80 damage to the enemy, and stops them from healing, and ignore Zenyatta
as a person who has never played overwatch in over 8 years i was so confused as to why you were shooting your teammates until i noticed it was healing them.
Agreed. 😂 seen several versions lately in qp and comp. Shinypants or flashpants or whatever but often something pants. Occasionally I have seen shirt or socks too.
This video got sent in a group chat I’m in with my friends bc the genji in that video is one of the friends in that gc. He said “no wonder I couldn’t kill Ana it was Flats 😭” fucking golden

Why no one fears Genji blade anymore: "Ryuujin no ken wa ku- AAAGHH!"
That last part is so relatable
my favorite "Ryuujin wo- zzzz" "Hush now"
good screwegenji and genji mains
ur just mad u could never play a character that takes as much skill as genji.
@@akhilscott2817 hilarious
As a Genji main it is honestly sad that a pool noodle does more damage than blade. Sometimes even Mercy heals negates blade.
Better nerf genji then
@@exalted7906 damn, you got a point 😂
From reading this comment I concluded buffing kiri is the best solution.
Yeah like 90 percent of the time you use it to kill confirm like 1 person. Or you go for a play and die. Not much in between.
Mercy beam alone cannot push through a genji blade if you focus on one target at a time
I’m surprised Ana wasn’t one of the original lineup of heroes because to this day she’s still the best thing Overwatch has ever done for support players
And one of the worst thing they’ve done for everyone else
She came out like a week after release shes basically part of the original lineup
She was the first hero added only a few months after release so she might as well have been.
I mean I bought a t-shirt in the first season of OW1 that was the whole cast and it included Ana. That's how early she was.

@@thewarmwind6171 Reaper could also heal with his soul orbs, but he needed to get a kill first.
That first clip of the rein made me cry internally
it made me laugh demonically and made my day better
Widow says "merci" every time you heal her. Her French is easy to translate, in context
Also, Genji blade is such a non-threat without nano, that I get annoyed when the support runs away instead of healing/holding ground
I mean, even rein couldn't kill flats through brig heal packs.
@@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong heal packs plus inspire plus overhealth :D

I got POTG as Genji 4/6 games yesterday and I was shocked. Either my blades have gotten any bit decent or I’m delusional and that never happened

@@Iznoot No problem.

The absolute worst part about genjis blade is it will never get buffed purely because nano exists
Nerf Nano-Blade Synergy and buff the main Ultimate.
“It’s high noon….” Ahahahahah
most ethical ana player at 1:49
Flats was yelling at the Winton but i bet all that was going in their head was 'mmmmm monke'

I think they're just gonna nerf burst damage on a lot of weapons and abilities and keep Genjiblade as is tbh.

Ghostpants was just very very thankful for that Nanoboost, Flats. 5:39
What wins????
An ancient dragon blade, passed down through generations.
A f*cking tree (lw)
there are a few ults that people don't fear, I play Hanzo a lot and even at my low level its not feared at all unless there's like a zarya ult. I mostly just use it to zone or create space
Some ults are stronger than others. Hanzo and Bastion being characters less reliant on their ult imo.
@@Fam0usFarm3r at the same time there are a lot of characters with insane value in general with game changing ults, like mei

there are two types of people in this world
those whom have deservedly received the gift of life
and those who eat candy corn
Man those winston rag-dolls were SPINNIN
For the first game, it felt like Brig was the tank lol
9/10 times a nano comes with the ana yelling “BEAT HIS ASS *whatever character*” XD the other 1 time is a panic nano to save a life
Same dark blue shirt
I cannot believe I loaded into this video just to be told to re-evaluate my life choices or whatever just because I love one of the most goated candies to ever exist.

Precisely why she needs a nerf lmfao
seeing the health just rapidly going up from nothing 24/7 is kinda insane , supports are dps and tank ahuahA
C'est du bon chocolat en tabarnak ça mon Flats. ;)
I couldn't contain my laughter after like the 3rd winston death, the fucking ragdoll🤣🤣🤣

Im with flats on the xandy corn issue, tastws like chalk its nasty
Ok but why was the Winston not attacking while nano? Was it just to troll flats?
I mean it was a Winston, he knew damn well he wasn’t gonna do shit but back em up then nearly die or die lol
he also just jumped out, flats should've nanoed him later or just save it until he had jump again
Also why is Ana’s fire rate so high, she’s a burst healer and a sniper you can fire bolt actions fast as hell but not maintain your accuracy like that.

Nano blade: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Title: makes you think of how bad genjibalde is.
Me: Man this winton flats has on his team is hot 💩
A nano'd Winston becomes Winton

Btw those sleeps on the Genji hits because his hitbox is wider when he's dashing.
Blade really is just an accessory. I feel like without a nano or mercy damage boost, or any other kind of support, it's useless. Just something to make the enemy team use ults
Ik these are hand picked games but why is flats low key a crazy ana
"I took Spanish like a smart person" -Flats 2024
As a French guy, he indeed picked the best option
as a support main i sh*t myself every time i hear the voiceline
I havent played overwatch in over 6 months but watching a flats video made me think about giving it a go again
As long as the game brings you joy
that title to video is so true, made my mate who was playing bastion last night survive 6 genji blade hits when i was just playing kiriko
I mean the opponents seem to fear apathy’s blade lol
Love the New Setup hope the moves been good Flats
Genji blade does well in lower ranks where people either respond to ults with their own ults or run for their life ignoring their team mates
Merci is “thank you” in French indeed. Pronounced mare-see instead of mer-see. French mercy does not exist.
I've heard both ways pronounced living in Canada 🤷♂️
as a genji main, if i blade on someone and they got healed by kiriko, mercy, or ana throw her molotov on them i just disengage, ik im not killing them and I'll just die
Flats is in Massachusetts, right? I think you're way more likely to run into French Canadians than Spanish speakers in Mass
im closer to canada than flats is and i run into spanish speakers way more often, in fact i dont think ive met any french speakers despite living near the border
I thought he was in florida I heard somewhere
OW devs should replace the genji blade slash sound with the blowup hammer bonk sound everytime it hits.
The one thing i do agree with him on is that “candy corn is nasty”
people who are crazy about not liking candy corn are as crazy as people who like pickles
I dislike both 😂
Wow i like Candy Corn 😭😭
Also felt you on the Spanish Part but I can count to 10, Say Hi and Good Bye, and Thank you and most of them were from Dora the Explorer 😂

That's completely untrue a lot of people fear Genji
Except it's usually his teammates
Avg American not knowing that "Merci" is French for "Thank you"
He does not speak for us I knew that in elementary school
