Overwatch 2 Season 10 Unintentionally Nerfs Genji

A clip demonstrating this was recently shared in a post from a fan known as mapleer, though it's also known that Hanzo and Kiriko have difficulty wall climbing now after executing a jump or movement-based ability.

The mobility of Overwatch 2's cyber ninja hero has always been an integral aspect of his character, allowing players to more easily evade enemy attacks, reach positions at greater elevations, and
