Overwatch: 9 Jerk Moves You Need To Stop Doing
6. Maximising Genji's Deflect For Increased Hilarity
Genji, the cybernetic kuudere ninja from the Land of the Rising Sun, is a particularly thorny character to face.
He's mobile, fast, and utterly lethal up close, as befits a katana-wielding mystery man. His Dragonblade ultimate ability, with its distinctive throat-mangling warcry, along with his constant hails of shuriken are annoying enough, but it is Genji's tricky Deflect ability that has enemies reaching Dead Sea-like levels of saltiness.
Genji's Deflect can send an incoming projectile attack back at the enemy. Great with bullets, even better with rockets and grenades. But for full jerk mode, use Deflect to intercept an enemy hero's ult. Zarya's Graviton Surge is the most comedic choice here.
Chuckle darkly as Zarya's gravity bomb drags her and her comrades into a tangled knot of flailing limbs, ripe for being mown down by your allies or even your own thirsty blade. And then smirk in the knowledge they can't complain too much, because that's how Deflect is supposed to work.
