I Played Genji for 100 HOURS And This Happened

[@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.

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😭🥲

[@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

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!

[@JanaOrsosova]

As someone who waisted 3000 competetive points on genji golden gun I can say he is sooooo hard to play but when you are poping its the best thing this game has to offer

[@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.

[@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!

[@ajlanali6471]

Hey I am also genji but some time I dominating the match and sometime it's like I am playing for the first time can you help me

[@XertiqWasTaken]

@@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

[@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.

[@Force26]

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

[@xpopheadx]

Yeah I've uninstalled a few times in my career. Uhhhhh yeah lol😂

[@TLS123okja]

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

[@Venge_1]

[@xpopheadx]

Thanks Elon 😭

[@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.

[@rrjj3]

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.

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

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

[@lootbaglu]

Og genji Masters player in ow1 and freshman gm thoughts: Turn off auto wall climb. Consider dropping your sens to 10. Your sens is like triple mine. Click out your right clicks when in people's faces instead of holding it. If you really want to be more consistent then be more receptive to people's movement when you get on them and force them into pressure. If your team is playing in a way where you can't really commit to anything then just off angle and poke and always be throwing shit at someone like the annoying monkey genji is. Also you're silver and gold, if you've gotten to the point where you can track ults, genji blade is huge bait to get 3 ults out and if you survive that, that is huge value. Genji can't really brute force carry like he could so you really gotta capitalize on how much aggro you draw because of how annoying you are to backlines.
