I Played Genji for 100 HOURS And This Happened

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

[@Thekid2125]

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.

[@xpopheadx]

we in the same boat fr

[@ilikechoco_milk6602]

recently hit masters 5 playing mostly genji on console and he’s been really fun though it’s not something for the faint of heart because you gotta have some strong mental fortitude to play him consistently

[@xpopheadx]

my mental isn't mental🙃

[@Im2tiredforthis]

I one trick genji and I stopped playing long hours and started watching spilo the ow coach guy, I only play around 4 matches with full focus and I vod review those matches and through the Improvement mindset I finally broke through plat yesterday and ngl I wanna give up the hero some days and just play someone else

[@diktateore]

GOATED series, great editing style, great pacing. The rage can definitely get to you, but I assure you that you will eventually get better and see progress. He's just one of those characters that really requires a lot of hours to find success. Personally, I love the mentality that you have going into this and I will be looking forward into seeing a part 3. Trust me, he gets really fun after you master him.

[@xpopheadx]

Thank you for the kind words. I’m not content with the way this video ended. Part 3 pending😭🥲

i love how you can actually see yourself improve! feels like the old days of me just learning genji

[@mochii_wrld]

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!

[@XertiqWasTaken]

as someone who just recently hit over 70 to 80 hours on Genji I enjoy seeing your progression as I progress as Genji myself! Look forward to seeing sum more of this and the wonderful editing!

[@elijahcape8688]

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.

[@JanaOrsosova]

[@nonipplenoah6179]

i remember being 50 hours into genji and thinking i had him mastered enough for comp then realize i’m playing people of the exact skill level and brings me back down to reality when i went 1-18 against a mei and sym will never forget how i felt on that day😭

[@tbarnsey2240]

Good video btw and thankfully there changing the ranked system

[@xpopheadx]

IVE HEARD 🙏🙏🙏

[@zwiftzs]

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

[@xpopheadx]

I’ve seen a few of his videos and it makes me want to review my own gameplay. I don’t really look at my replays often but it could give me loads of insight

[@dononejeme1528]

Quick tip with Genjis abilities never use them alone. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use Shurikens with his abilities. Example swift strike hold left click, reflect hold left click. The extra dmg adds up, especially when your aim improves. Love the vids we should duo sometime.

[@Sinngularity]

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

Can't believe Nino had the audacity to switch up as soon as you won

[@Force-vg4te]

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 a fellow Genji main I’ve gotta say that I don’t remember the last game I played that the enemy teams wasn’t playing Zarya/Winton, Pharah/Mei/Echo, Moira and Kiriko

[@ShadowMikey04]

This happens to me often. Also if you don't have nano. Slash dash slash. It makes getting kills a lot faster. (Tip is generally for anyone.)

[@literallyjustsoap5866]

slash slash dash would be preferable as you get the reset/can use the ending dash to move to your next target while maintaining the cooldown as it just reset.

[@ennuui]

after a game like your onehundredth hour game ( i have experienced plenty) it makes me want to queue again but i wouldnt do that because its just gonna make you play worse, play a quickplay game as a silly character and just be silly and desress (i like to play junkrat and target one person the entire game like go to their spawn and stuff) and i fell better afterwards

[@xpopheadx]

I tried destressing on other games and i cried😅 but i see what you're saying

[@Mousse_.]

the inconsistency examples made me tweak out

[@llllIlllIllI]

My progress was similar to this but i took long breaks, i used to play genji 24/7 but it just didnt feel as fun anymore and i felt like i got worse playing him so i started playing other heroes, i have 10-60 hours on almost every hero and when i went back to genji i played 10x times better, if you feel like you suddenly suck using your main just switch to a character that you never use obviously in qp for a few days then you will feel fresh when you come back to your main, also i wrote a essay over here

[@xpopheadx]

I read the essay. This is good advice I honestly don’t play quick play enough but I should considering its a say space to play

[@F14nk]

Saw the vid. First few minutes had me downloading Overwatch again as an old genji main myself.. Then at 15 minutes mark when all the stress and salt appeared I remembered why I uninstalled again

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.
