It ' s not as bad as animation cancels for other heroes . Soldier has a massive one that cuts . 7 seconds from his reload Roadhog can cancel his entire hook with his ult and most other heroes can cancel their reloads . And the first one they remove is Genji ' s , for reasons of it giving experienced players too much of an advantage , as it was difficult to figure out for new players , which is one of the most bullshit things I ' ve ever heard blizzard say . I ' m pretty sure Genji is hated by most devs , like the least favourite child or some shit . Also , there have been hundreds of times where bugs have been turned into features in games , a large percent being competitive shooters . There ' s absolutely no reason why it should ' ve been removed .
