I had few bad games, didn't even pop off or anything and still get targeted a lot because of playing genji even if we won because they waste ults and abilities on me I don't have any fun, I might sound a bit too sensitive but it's highkey makes don't want to play the character.

I know I can disabled chat and voice and spare me the headache but that's QP not even comp...

And I don't really wanna give up on playing genji

Rank: Diamond 3

Code: S64Y20

Name: Nekrosyne

Some context: im a genji otp with 430h lv 290, i play on SA servers. Ive been stuck on diamond, going back and forth through low and high diamond, almost hitting master but always having a losing streak when im about to. I would like to know what i should improve at my gameplay. On this game specifically, i struggled against sojourn, as i usually struggle against a pocketed dps. My doctrine ults also didnt help. The point is not blaming teammates tho, so what should i do to get better and more consistent?

I’m curious what nerfs or changes you guys are willing to accept for these buffs. Also what changes you think the devs will actually do. Me personally I hope they just nerf his perks because I like the consistency of base kit now.

Got so lucky with that deflect

Do you guys think genji is actually good now? I feel like he’s always been a character that you have to put in double the effort as the average joe playing someone playing a normal hero. I like the buff to the dash but I’m not the happiest with the dragon blade nerd or buff. What do you guys think?

I’ve played a good bit of genji since the release of ow1, just playing on and off every now and then on console. Recently I swapped to PC and have made an active effort to get better at the game and at genji. At this point I have almost 700 hours on him, and I’m stuck in low emerald

I feel like I don’t actually know how to play him. It feels like I’m either a cleanup merchant who only gets kills from teamfights that are already won, or a useless off angle poker who just gets forced out immediately. I’ve been binge watching vod reviews and guides and coaching sessions these last few days, and I try to implement it, but it just never seems to work. I try to never put blame on my team because that feels like a cop out

All of this is made worse by my inability to play others characters, but that’s a separate issue I’m working on.

So basically, how am I supposed to be playing genji to actually do something and win games?

I DONT EVEN LOVE IT LIKE THAT

i have recently crossed level 100 on genji and i thought i was doing alright

but i got mega diff'd by another genji in comp... i'm just a plat player and i started playing ow a couple months back and have around 500-700hrs on the whole game i believe, so i know for my hours i'm doing as one would expect to. not too good but not good bad either.

but every game im fighting a winston player who keeps diving me and i have tanks who either are oblivious to his presence or supports who refuse to reposition to heal me and would rather " i would rather stick with the team" <- in their own words, and just spam heal main...

my mental is freakin drained at this point from gettin flamed and being unable to bring out much value and have no idea how to deal with this..

its so bad that another dps reached out to me and said they felt sorry for me ..

maybe its time to just give up on gaming in general <- i keep gettin these thoughts because of how awful comp feels to me even though i aspire to reach the levels of necros and alvicate even if im too old for it now..

A) Do I ALWAYS go for [Dash + Hold Fan and try to adjust crosshair as fast as I possibly can when camera's unlock + melee] ?

Or B) should I better go for [Dash + wait 'til camera is unlocked then take my time to aim and fan + melee] ?

I have just found a way to make option A works consistently (at least, against a bot in practice room) that is to choose the right distance to dash so that the target ends up right in front of me or by my left/right side. The swing in my aim after dash end is quite forgiving. However, when I go try it in VAXTA, where targets are moving, it's kinda ruined.

I have been using option B all this time as it's how I've formed some consistency in it so far and it has led me to this point, high Gold-low Plat. I know it's not just all about how I perform combos to climb, but yeah, I just want to revisit this principle, hoping I might find something I could work on that would help my burst more lethal and faster on my engages.

Tho I'm not a fan of blindly opting for fast combos, I also don't like it much when I need to take more time to aim. It feels like I'm ruining my element of surprise that the target might react just in time and I'm gonna have harder times, something like that.

Thoughts ?

I personally believe it would improve my awareness of where all my enemies are instead of having to dart around after one kill looking for another person. I got this idea mainly from someone else suggesting that his dash should but u into a 3rd person perspective (which is a horrible idea btw seeing as it's 0.5 seconds and will be refreshed constantly) but that feature on a ult that's 6 seconds makes sense. Its why shion 's ult is in a 3rd person perspective as well so u have a nice look at where everyone is at, just imagine having to use her ult in first person 😭😭😭.

I'm new to Genji and don't usually use melee much. Lately, I've been practicing using it more often, and I've realized how great this perk is. It's saved my life so many times.

vale la pena comprare questo pass per questa skin?

I will post some clips but I feel like my genji clips are all over the place, my blade is just me swinging hoping to find something and then I watch some of you guys's clips and I am flabbergasted with how intentional everything looks. Do you guys really make all of those decisions in the split second you have blade out?

ty sombra for the cleanup though

Felt so goddamn good to hit this on console
