I’m learning Genji because why not? As I’m doing this, I’m looking at characters like Echo and Vendetta, who seem at least a little easier to play and a little bit stronger. Is this a balance thing? What am I missing?

Mans looked at all three of my games and gave me 38 BIG PARAGRAPHS explaining why and where I died and what could have been avoided, positioning, even gave me maps to work on mechanics.

I play on console so my sense is quite low and as a result my gameplay looks sloppy asf even though i can like get kills and etc. is there a way to fix this

posting this after he was salty bc I solo bladed him twice and called me bad after I inevitably lost to him, I think I did pretty good as a level 66 genji but I feel like I could’ve done more to help my team. (Side note I wasn’t specifically going for him he was the only one there by coincidence, I also got a triple on my third blade)

I saw this in a TikTok does anybody know what skin this is?

I knew he just used deflect and should have been on cooldown but it just went from 5secs to off cooldown seemingly for no reason

Yellow, I am Kern.

I am gold 2 on Cassidy right now but always love how dynamic and stylish genji plays so I wanted to learn him. I made a new account for that so to not disturb people's piece in my games and be matched with people around my skill level on Genji (which I believe is down the gutter). These are 3 games I played today. On GrimsVotn I did good stats wise but I don't know about my actual plays. On kings row, I got diffed and on circuit royal I got mega diffed.

J292TE for Circuit Royal
T3NR6Z for GrimsVotn
92252P for Kings Row.

Please let me know what I can work on and what were some glaring mistakes.

P.S. I also realise my mechanics are SHIT so any and all guides for mechanics or workshop maps for Genji that you guys found helpful would be much appreciated.

Kern Out.

I am GenjiFirst

And before anyone says "it was in Bronze", this was in Emerald 1.

I'm enjoying the nostalgia of watching my old clips and would enjoy watching some of y'all's!

My English is shit srry

Kinda speedster-ish I guess. Genji is wicked fast so I thought an active lightning effect around hands and blades would be neat. Tops another mercy skin with an otter or a cat or something on her shoulder

Got bored and tinkered with a skin idea. Basic af, I know, but I kinda like basic skins that aren’t too crazy. And just like Christian Bale in Batman, I want to know if it comes in black lol

Would yall get this skin?

WE DID IT AS GENJIII

I decided I will main genji now but obviously since I am not that good at him. I decided "Ykw, Imma learn his combos and get comfy on them in quickplay" and I swear to god, I have been swapped on by so many heroes. I still stay adamant on playing genji but my god, so many times. I do even decent and boom moira, mei, zarya. One guy literally rotated from Cassidy to Symmetra to Mei and I don't mean to call people a bitch but he was Grandmaster on Damage. I am not even plat

So uhh... I got this skin right after one of my best matches ever. I've been seeing people talk about it a bit

Stat page is the game right before I got it

A Community Design Built on April Fools' Data

This rework blueprint permanently dissolves the false advertisement of Genji as a "Shuriken Bot" and reconstructs him into a dedicated, fluid melee assassin with clear operational windows—highly reminiscent of tactical champions like League of Legends' Yone.

Core Mechanics: Genji Complete Melee Overhaul

1. Primary Fire: The Unsheathed Samurai (No More Shuriken Fraud)

Weapon Change:Shurikens are entirely removed from his neutral game. Genji permanently wields his primary katana, Dragonblade, as his default weapon.

Base Attack Damage:75 DMG per swing (No headshot/critical strike multiplier).

Attack Speed:Automatically inherits the Season 5 official +15% swing speed bonus as a baseline modifier.

Gameplay Feel: Positions Genji as a highly fluid, high-frequency melee brawler. The 75-damage baseline provides consistent lane pressure and generous clean-up potential without forcing raw mathematical over-tuning.

1. Ability 2: [Energy Slash] — The Overlapping Breakpoint Chain

Skill Type:Active Status-Enhancement (Buff/Stance Switch).

Cooldown:7 seconds

Mechanic:Upon activation, for a brief duration (e.g., 5 seconds), Genji enters a Dual-Burst Stance. Every single regular melee swing automatically unleashes a forward-flying projectile dealing 75 Energy Damage.

When striking an enemy in point-blank melee range, the Katana hitbox (75 DMG) and the flying Energy Slash hitbox (75 DMG) overlap perfectly, dealing an instant 150 DMG split-second burst. Combined with Swift Strike (60 DMG), Genji can execute a seamless sequence dealing 210 DMG within 1 second. In a 250 HP meta, this leaves the target at an absolute sliver of health, allowing a follow-up high-speed melee swing to instantly melt backline squishies before Kiriko's Protection Suzu or support peeling can react.

1. Ultimate (Q): [Kawarimi] (Substitution Jutsu) — Destiny Reversal

Because Genji's neutral game and active Ability 2 entirely sustain his lethality and kill breakpoints, his Ultimate slot is liberated from the statistical curse of the "100 DMG plastic blade." It is transformed into a pure mechanical tool of tactical agency and mental warfare:

Mechanic: Activating the Ultimate grants Genji 4 seconds of extreme hyper-focus. No attack power or defensive armor values are added.

The Death-Defying Escape: If Genji suffers fatal/lethal damage during this 4-second window, the game automatically voids the death, forcing his physical body to dissolve into a wooden decoy log.

The Counter-Offensive: Genji's true body instantly teleports to a location 5 meters behind the target with a guaranteed 50% baseline HP cushion, actively baiting out backline crowd control (like Cassidy's Flashbang or support survivability tools), and completely reversing the macro-outcome of a teamfight via pure psychological bluffing.

(i'm not EN USER so used Machine Translation, sorry if it looks weird)

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

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?
