PLAYING GENJI UNTIL I FEEL LIKE IM A GOOD GENJI😤
I Spent 100 HOURS Learning Genji and Heres What Happened
Genji's learning curve is a lot steeper than I imagined! In my first 10 hours or so I struggled and saw little to no improvement. Eventually through my training I began to develop skills and habits that ultimately lead to me mastering the art of Genji in Overwatch 2.
In this video I will show you my journey from my 50th hour on Genji, all the way to my 100th hour

Gm1 genji here 👋🏻, biggest issue lower ranks have on genji is three fold. One lack of awareness. It’s not just an issue of lack of awareness on the genji’s fault but also of the team. You need to balance all your resources available to you as genji. In higher ranks it’s easier in that department because your resources are paying attention. In lower ranks they may not be. 2: An issue in lower ranks is that you are not timing engagements to your advantage and being proactive in engagements. Poking or using your left click a lot more helps dictate engagements much better. 3: counter picks do not actually have as much of an effect on genji as you may think. Counter picks affect his playstyles, so if you can’t adapt around them then you will suffer. If he was actually bad he wouldn’t be in t500 at all. His ultimate is definitely weak compared to others but his neutral and all that he can do makes him top notch.

i think youre doing great! its kinda funny because i started my genji 1 trick journey around the same time as you and its been quite the learning experience. i've been playing this game for a long time and what helps is actually taking a break from this game. i swear the buff you get when you come back with a fresh mind is crazy. the burnout makes you sloppy and you might be auto-piloting some plays. but very entertaining video and good luck my brother!

This is a amazing video Pophead, seen a lot of improvement from your 50 hour video of Genji. Just one thing that I could recommend is play to improve and not to win. If you go into a game and notice how you die and what mistakes you make when going in you will have a much higher chance of winning the game. The second thing is when using Genji blade the moments aren't always going to stand right in front of you like a straight line, and when you don't have a clear moment to blade make the moment and force a cd with dash, then blade and than slash again and if it is a 200 hp target you should kill them and sometimes you only need one kill to change a fight. Again this was a really good video you have improved a ton and I really hope to see a part three if you are up for that. Good luck man and keep up the good work.

@XertiqWasTaken 22 күн бұрын

@@ajlanali6471 As mentioned in the video at 2:00 your biggest enemy at times can be consistency and in this current stage of the game there isn't much that can be helped for that beyond just warming up and consistent practice unfortunately. Sometimes the enemy lineup can be just too overwhelming or just full of counter-picks. Genji is in one of his most weakest states right now but that doesn't mean he is entirely weak as a hero either, although when compared to others like Echo he is. When it comes to blade I mainly try and farm ult charge off the tank and either A.) Wait for the supports such as Zen or Lucio to use Trans or Beat then instantly go on the offensive on the backline such as supports or Widow then plan from there. Because of the health changes the new combo for blade is dash, slash, slash and then dash to the next target to be closer to them. Then there is option B.) Use blade to force the supports ults out unfortunately so that my team can benefit off of the enemy lacking those resources. In the current state the game is in now the best approach with Genji when it comes to engaging in fights is a defensive and patient one when it comes to engaging in some heroes like Moira, Ana or Mei. When it comes to Moira if you force them to fade away, it is still kind of good, yes you didn't kill them but they are now out of the fight for the time being and when they do come back you will most likely be ready for them as their fade is now on cooldown then afterward try and see if you can deflect their ball. If you cannot then begin to run because either orb is bad, Healing orb can heal her through your shuriken damage and Damage orb combined with her right click is just death. Ana's love to use sleep dart on you first thing so engaging with a deflect is usually best unless they begin to catch onto what you are doing, etc etc same thing for most other heroes. I really hope Genji gets the buffs he deserves soon because as of now you could be on top of the world at one moment then go 2 to 7 with 1,552 damage in a 5k damage game then yelled at to switch because of your "throw pick", so yeah the line between inconsistency between the player and the game itself has begun to become blurry. If there was anything in specific you needed help with let me know so I can try my best to give the best advice 👍

Bro massive tip: The best way to learn is to watch streamers like necros or something. This has a way bigger impact than you think as you pick up things they do and you start to learn from what they do. Necros has an educational unranked to gm that could help as he speaks about what he's thinking and what he does. Hope this helps :D

I was a hitscan main for the longest time peaked to gm3 and decided to widen my hero pool by learning genji and i dropped all the way to diamond 1 at the lowest of points while learning the hero but im back to being able to stay in gm4-master 1 now as a genji main (83 hours total in comp with 14 in quickplay)

@Force-vg4te 7 ай бұрын

alr as a genji main whos pushing up on gm and have nearly 600 hours. i have some genuine tips that will actually help you. starting with ur right click u can press right before any ability to get extra damage in and if u learn the timing u can animation cancel it. so right click ur dash deflect and as u pop blade. Next up your blade specifically with nano. u can dash to them and right click melee animation cancel for a free 1 shot + ur still popping blade. So even if they lived u can them and get dash reset. With nano dash to them then use slash dash cus of animation cancel and it will let u be faster and get hit less. Also u can still travel far if ur not dashing down. blade with out nano is different. I watched u be on top of someone dryblading and dash slash slash. which is way too slow. So if u have dash still and are right next to or above them u can slash dash to animation cancel then slash again. which will improve time to kill. Also make sure u or someone else is alt and cooldown tracking. It will save u from so much pain. Finally right click melee there is a timing to it but the extra 30 dmg will save u when finishing up a low hp target. Ik this is a lot but if u read it hope it helps :D

As someone who only has 150 hours on genji this was my process also pretty much, I got to a point where if I lose it’s fine I just tell myself I have to do better cause if I’m good enough I can carry and win I’m also gold but a tip I have is high sens and always stay on edge checking surroundings not tunnel vision more like fly vision and I do top frag but hardstuck good because I often get countered I know how to play against them so experiment with what works and what doesn’t how you can play around it and just try to keep level headed

something i noticed with your aim on genji is your playing genji like a hitscan where you flick onto the person, stop your crosshair, and shoot. with genji because of his bullet travle you always want to be tracking in front of your target and if they are straifing even out their strafe and shoot in the middle. this is easier to learn with a lower sense as i play on 2% with 1600 dpi. im only 5 min into the video so imma keep watching and delete if nessacary.
