Genji vs Homelander

Homelander begins monologuing to Genji about how he is "Not Held Back at all" that he is going to go "FULL SCORCHED EARTH" and the "HE IS GOD!".
Genji draws his dragon blade (Higher Intelligence and Better Experience will allow him to quickly realize Homelander isn't an opponent to be ****** with), closes this distance (Homelander will allow this because he's got a massive ego), and egregiously harms Homelander. This causes Homelander to immediately switch tactics and use his SI where he will eat Genji's shit and suck his **** live. Probably not going to work on Genji, and he one-shots him.

Voting Genji

Voting Genji
Well, given that SBA gives a 4km distance (iirc) between the characters, Homelander could fly and use it as his advantages, but fair point, i'll add the vote

Sure, but the only times he used is to run directly at the enemy. If he is flying, he might try to laser Genji, which Genji can deflect, dodge, or do this shit. He's got plenty of ways getting to homie via wall-climbing or just constantly poking him with shirukens until Homie loses his temper and bumrushes him. Arguably, Homie's lasers wouldn't even effect Genji, but I won't argue that since it isn't in the profile.
 
which Genji can deflect
Could Genji rlly deflect it? I mean, he can't deflect Zarya's laser nor Symmetra and Domina's stuff

...I forgot Genji could do it lol, I don't think we ever saw him using it anymore, maybe Blizzard forgot it xd

Fair

To expand on this, he can deflect Zarya's Ult, but as for the others, that could just fall under gameplay logic. He can't deflect Sigma throwing a rock at him or Doomist punching him. However, he still has NPI, so he should be able to deflect lasers
 
does this mean the match is a stomp?
It's moreso decisive, I think. If Homelander lasers at close range, Genji just kinda dies. It might be closer with Reyes, but that's because Reyes might actually get hit in melee with fists (due to blocking, not because he's unskilled) instead of being a literal ninja.

I thought Homelander's heat vision beams were pretty clearly not SOL in the show? (unless i'm misunderstanding your point)


Not really knowledgeable on OW but:

From what I see, John can't really hit Genji as Genji has the reaction/combat speed to dodge anything John can dish out (at least according to the highest speed I could see on the listed calc). If John ever gets close, I would assume Genji could just blitz him using Swift Strike. There's also the massive AP advantage with Genji's sword.

Genji FRA.

They're still a blitz above him IIRC

Speed is equalized. Without it, John would be a fair bit faster than the Cyborg Ninja Dude for being Hypersonic+ to Genji's Hypersonic.

Ah, i'm talking about the act of deflecting itself, not the speed, Genji can't really deflect things like lasers in the game, but I wasn't sure if that's game mechanic or not

I would argue that he has deflected things similar enough with his NPI and the rest can be filed under gameplay mechanics. Even if that is NOT the case, Genji just has way too many options to avoid the lasers
 
Try giving john prior knowledge ig
You can but there are any examples of him actually using info well? Maybe season 1, but that is more of manipulation rather than battle. Other than that - he believes his own hype that he is a God, so its likely he is just not going to use it or maybe gloss over it before - well you read the first reply
 
Eh

His first move is to bum rush him. Speed is Equalized, so Genji dodges or draws Dragon Blade and ggs

Yea you got me there (John is so a**)

Voting Raiden from overwatch bcuz he's competent and has an 8-A piercing weapon

Edit: maybe restricting the dragon blade might work? Although John doesn't have much for piercing durability beyond shrugging off 9-C/9-B stuff so a high 8-C katana attack might still pierce him.
 
hmm good point, would giving Homelander prior knowledge make the match less unfair?
It really wouldn't. Homelander hasn't ever been show to use prior knowledge in battle effectively even then his battle skill is so shit he is either going to laser or bumrush him - both of which Genji has counters to. This isn't a stomp because apparently Homie's lasers can put Genji down, but Genji should take this low difficulty
 
isn't Genji unable to hurt him if thats the case?
Overwatch high 8-C's scale to around 5 tons looking at the vs page
John scales to 20

That's around a 4x AP difference which is nice but not totally unfair. John also lacks resistance to piercing weaponry on a high 8-C level so getting hit by the low contact area of something like a katana would still injure him

Alright i'll restrict Dragonblade
 
Oh yeah, it's probably better to bring everyone else here and recount votes with the new circumstances

@Arkansalter2 @Nonynho

Should note that John has a massive LS advantage and with his AP advantage as well, grabbing him and going for LS tear doesn't look like an awful wincon for him

Ofc genji has skill and stealth on his side so it's still iffy
