On a slightly related note, I'm not a fan of how ridiculously mobile Genji is for a caster. I want his E to get its 20% range nerf, along with cooldown increase or a mana cost increase to weaken his ability to engage and disengage so easily. It wouldn't weaken him substantially with regards to securing kills, but it would tone down his ability to skirmish.
Personal opinion here: It feels really weird that Genji is a straight up caster, and there aren't any talents that allow him to use an AA build.
