This Silver Genji has an issue with COUNTER SWAPPING

[@ashonline77]

The Genji blade made me think "Oh this guy is silver?" But the soldier gameplay made me think "Oh this guy is silver?" in completely opposite ways.

[@ashonline77]

@@mustardleader1066 Again, for a silver player. I'm not expecting much from a silver genji that's why I considered it good not because the blade itself was actually good. And it was more so about the comparison on how terrible the soldier gameplay was. I don't think I've seen even silver soldiers position so badly.

[@AbashedCarc]

While there is too much counter swapping in the realms of Overwatch... so far this whole video sounded like lots and lots of one-trick Genji tears

[@Zathren]

It's almost like counter picking is an excuse that people who aren't good at the game make. It's not like there are people in top500 who only like playing one hero.

[@Aegis-_-]

@@ZathrenIt is and it isn’t. It’s one those things that is somewhat of an issue, but once top players say it then that’s the new excuse for everything for low rank players. No different than when bastion was OP but low rank players would still just walk out in front of turret and say that he’s too strong, rather than admitting what they did was dumb

[@Siks7Ate9]

The issue with counterswapping is that it's mostly against tanks. And since tanks rely on teammates aswell to either hold space or gain hp back its not only the tanks job to deal with it. These teammates need to output enough pressure for you as tank to be able to hold it. However this is often not the case or atleast feels like it while you are playing tank. When playing into counters you need teammates who shoot the correct targets or take offsangles or flank to alleviate some pressure. Sometimes they even need to swap a hero to do this more effectively. When this doesn't happen, it really doesn't matter if you know exactly how to play into the counters. There are simply too many disadvantages for you to overcome to do anything. And even when your constantly swapping your tank to alleviate pressure onto yourself, you still need to be able to create space or be doing something useful that helps your team. Just staying alive 99% of the time is not enough. Also counterswapping a tank is just way to easy. The 25% ult upon swapping to 15% did absolutely nothing imo. Your effectiveness with tanks who you swap to is also reliant on the map and your own team comp and the available healing.

[@thebeatmonkey9]

@@Zathren Its not an excuse. I counter swap if I'm not getting value because I want the game to be fun, rather than get rolled because I'm putting myself, and my team, at a disadvantage. T500 one tricks aren't really comparable to the general OW population. Not everyone has multiple hours a day to practice this game (or play it as their full time job in many cases). Most people just want the game to be fun.

As frustrating as it is to get countered, the enemy team was probably just as frustrated to go against nanoblade and feel like there was nothing they could do but get rolled without Mei ult or Rein ult to stop it.

Countering isn’t annoying when you aren’t stubborn trash who can only play one character. I get the entire team counter switching seems ridiculous, but this guy needs to learn to play somebody else.

[@therickeffect7466]

@@PhysicallyAwakewhats the fun in counterpicking. Like yeah i get that sometimes it needs to happen if you really want to win. But if you truly enjoy playing a hero and feel your getting value like the genji was in the first half then having to switch to someone else despite still being good at the hero you swap too, just isnt fun anymore

[@therickeffect7466]

Tbh tho ive never had a problem with any of the heros they picked at the start of round 2. Moira a bit but with proper healing from my supports i never worry about her out dmging me. Sombra is the only one i ever have a problem with but only if shes playing frontline, bc if im hacked out of deflect i already cant double jump or wallclimb and even after it ends im left with dash which ill die the second i use bc of her having an easy shot to land virus. If shes trying to pick off one of my supports tho its all too easy to handle her since i can just peel and help my support take her out. Even on occasion ill dash and take the virus for my support so they can either help kill the sombra without any worry of the virus getting them low or heal me while i deal with sombra so i dont die to virus myself.

[@angeltorres9232]

​@@PhysicallyAwake i agree, im a one trick ball and playing agaisnt counters is basically every match, you have to get better at playing counters and not complain, cuz eventually they will counter you if you have a good game and they want to stop you

@@therickeffect7466 the fun is in not losing. Especially as a support, the majority of time I counterpick it’s usually because there’s an annoying asf genji targeting the back line.

what's fun is that mei was on mei in the first fight but swapped to torb in the 1st round and then back to mei. So its probably just their main or close to it but Genji immediately thought it's about him.

The thing about counterswapping is it works both ways. Someone counters you, you can counter in return. If you're constantly switching heroes every life or 2 however, you won't be getting many Ults, so it kind of balances itself out.

[@alexdahmane7025]

*cry in one trick* To be fair I’m a 2 trick

[@DanildFlamme]

Exactly! Swapping comes at a cost of almost all your ult-charge, so it becomes a strategic choice at that point. The whole aspect of hero-choice, and being able to swap to counter if your composition is c*** against the enemy team comp, is what adds a strategic element to the game, and is part of what makes Overwatch more than a (totally) mindless shooting game.

[@phantasy4086]

[@LordBidoofy]

when i play ana i wait for the genji to blade first because ive nanod too many people who just dont blade or ult when i nano them and tell them beforehand im gonna ult on them

[@DrKoala-]

Do not wait for the perfect scenario. Adjust. Even if you instantly die it’s better than never using it. Also. In case you didn’t notice. They were counter swapping for the Zarya. Not you (the Genji). They go Rein/Mei. Good against Zarya. Then when your Zarya swaps to Orisa. They go to Zarya, a counter to Orisa. They start as Zarya, expecting a Orisa. Then lose fight and swap to Rein again. I do not think this is entirely your fault. It’s more of you and your team never making adjustments. Also just an FYI. Soldier into a Rein is a big risk. Unless there is room to flank around and get behind enemy team as Soldier. I do not recommend going Soldier into a Rein in King’s row. Since you’ll just be shooting shields. King’s Row is too narrow to stay on the low ground. To make Soldier work, you needed to take the high ground and shoot from there. Instead you played Soldier like a tank.

[@kevinsemidey2516]

It looked like you passed the controller to someone else to play Soldier 76. None of the same fundamentals you were using as Genji were seen when you played as Soldier. In the first rd as Genji, you were getting out of the enemy team's LOS when reloading and dashing away to safety when low hp. When you played soldier you were out in the middle of the map reloading getting rolled. I would say stop being allegic to health packs to take some of the pressure off your supports so they they have to healbot you, and then you enable them to make plays as well since you're not critical health every second. Also, watch your cooldowns a little more. You engaged a few times without a way to get out

[@blkc744]

Bro I'm a genji main like u and I mean u cannot tilt cuz counter swaps is the mean of the game. And mei Is an absolute counter but If u master genji well brig sym and Moira cannot counter u

[@ArcBaltic]

Two things I'd recommend. First is learning more when to left click instead of right click. There was a bunch of times where you just kept spamming right clicks from a good distance away trying to hit a single target. Second thing was there was like two cases you ran at them when you pressed Q, generally you want to dash to high ground or just in the air so you can then dash and slash downwards at your victims with them having a limited amount of time to react to your multiple changes in location. It also makes it easier for Ana to nano you since you are above everything.

[@DrElementary]

True, however one thing they should do is reset ult charger to zero whenever someone swaps.

Only problem is that, here, the swaps to "counter" were done at the top of the round, not mid round. So ult reset meant nothing in terms of what the genji was doing.@@dr.ibrayt9395

[@PichDextro]

@@dr.ibrayt9395 The reason why that doesn't happen is because the game *wants* you to play multiple heros. You're literally not supposed to one trick a character. I love to one trick Widow or Ashe, but sometimes you simply have to swallow that pride and play someone else if it ain't working. It's not your opponents job to make sure you are having fun... And people complaining about others swapping in order to win is just a completely different level of mental gymnastics. I agree that the rock, paper, scissors shit is boring, but that isn't even happening here or in 99% of games. It happens in high ranks. The *majority* of players are in Gold and it isn't happening there, so let's all chill a bit.

[@navandozer]

I actually enjoy when people counterswap for my Genji. It lets me practice against it... unless they're gods with that hero and I just get shit on. In Diamond 3 and I can usually play around my counters up to a certain point. Like when there's a Mei, Moira, and Zarya it becomes a struggle bus. But 1 or 2 is doable, so long as my healers are attentive. Usually I counterswap myself though unless I get real petty about it.

[@allanhernandez6692]

I totally feel this. A mei and Moira combo really isn't that bad. But when it's mei, echo, brig, and Moira I will admit that it's not worth playing into anymore. When the whole team sucks to play neutral against and there's only 1 decent blade target, I'm going to start considering other options. Fortunately I used to main Cass who is much more fun against the comps that are tough for genji

This Genji's poor cooldown management/ positioning was his really biggest enemy. Sweet jesus. When you're your real own biggest enemy lol! - Masters PC Genji main myself. So it was pretty funny watching this one. And no one needs to talk to the enemy team this often or at all while the game is going on. They aren't your girlfriend..... This was certainly quite the laugh! I felt like I was watching a Console player who had their sticks gummed up or something. haha. Especially Spamming RMB (fan) from the distance he was. Yes it has a faster rate of fire. But get accustomed to shooting left clicks and hitting them. Big Oof's. You're the common denominator in every game you play. Dont blame your team or counter swaps. Those are only a crutch for Genji's who haven't spent the time to watch for enemy cooldowns for prime time to strike or haven't spent ample time working on their own positioning, situational awareness and brushing up on their own mechanics.

As a Genji main myself, I can understand this guy's frustration. However, it nearly always comes down to mechanical errors or common sense issues...for me, at least. I know that I'm awful at the hero, but I don't mind because I love playing him so much. And while counters like mei, sym, and moira are cringe and awful to play against, it is the most rewarding thing in the world when you can adjust your playstyle and carefully manipulate the enemy team into making a mistake, or playing around their cooldowns, or positioning yourself safely. And when you win games like that, against heroes that seem tailor-made to stop you from getting value, it is literally one of the best feelings in the world.

How would you even enforce a cooldown on counter swapping? Like, put a cooldown on the ability to change your characters mid match?

[@therickeffect7466]

Ive mained alot of heros throughout my time in the game, but rn im maining genji. And imo if your a good genji then beams are never an issue. If you play out of their range for one and never try to duel them without the support of either one of your supports or majority of your team then it will all work out. If you just dive in and expect to get out as easily as you went in then your just stupid. Now a frontline sombra can be a pretty big issue especially if your hacked mid deflect which is one of the situations im trying to get better at handling. However a sombra thats attacking your backline is something i hope to fight bc i can peel for my supports and help get a free kill. And sometimes when i dash in i end up taking the virus for my support so they can focus on hitting their shots bc they arent gonna get brought down to 80 in half a second. And even if the sombra runs i get healed back to full and we do it all over again. Basically she just feeds us ult charge until we kill her.

[@Dos-equis-guy]

Interesting concept Counter swap cooldown, maybe you should try some of the viewer suggestions to make the game more fair to see if it has some truth it.

[@damonblack1495]

Definition of a once trick. When you watch the Genji play you can see there is potential for a higher rank. But then when you watch the 76 play you wonder how they got to the rank they are at. I play in mid bronze and there is a Genji that plays during my hours and he is pretty good. Not omg amazing he is a smurf but better than your average bronze. Reminds me of the guy in the vid. One game, when he was on my team, I asked him how he is still stuck in bronze. They told me they play nothing but Genji and getting counter picked was a huge part of it. And I see other regulars, that usually play one character all the time. Also, as a bronze connoisseur, that 76 play would not yield you bronze 4. I'd keep that in your back pocket and lose the pants.

[@rebornnora]

My general idea is that swapping to a different hero will cost an ult charge. Why not have a steady ult charge and act as an economy. Unless you have x% of ult charge, you ca not swap until you have that amount

[@HellXan]

"Add a cooldown to counterswapping!" Doesn't realize that they only picked those heroes at the top of the round when you'd be able to freely swap your heroes anyway.

Aa much as it feels like it sometimes, genji doesnt really have hard counters. I'm thankful for my low rank cause i get to get plenty of practice against different heroes 1tricked as genji and not face as many consequences. As long as I can still get value, i'm chilling.

[@gabecalise120]

I do agree in the sense that counter swapping is stupid, just not with this player in particular. Genji for example just gets negated by things like sym and mei, and it's really annoying. I think blizzard should better design characters to interact with one another less harshly, because ESPECIALLY TANKS just get turned off by certain characters and that takes no skill!!

[@D_U_N_E]

Counterswapping is a good part of the game IMO. You can get counterpicked out the gate, and imagine being stuck as Genji against a Zarya, Mei, Sym, Brig and Moira lineup. Though agreed to counter picks should be less harsh, or add in more customizations for characters to enable them to react better to counter picks, with other downsides of course.

[@nfortin24]

IDK why anyone would be upset getting counter swapped.. especially if its multiple characters.. that means that enough of the team has identified you as a threat and is changing their play style to play against YOU.. meaning you have now taken focus off of the other 4 members of your team.. How is that not a positive?
