The face svb makes when he gets slept by ana's is priceless.

It screams "so this is how it feels on the other side."

He singlehandedly makes me want to try new characters. Keep posting these!

(5:00) As a Quickplay Andy Ana main, there's nothing better than a Genji actually letting you know they're about to blade. Hopefully, more players learn to spam their ultimate if they want Nano.

However, when it does happen, it makes me feel like a mama bird watching my baby leave the nest, off to destroy the world.

At this point I watch you for you - your eloquence, your approach to thinking/talking about your experience, your editing. You are a top tier YouTube, I look forward to watching you learn other games

Also something to consider is, that since Genji is inherently such a fun character that truly rewards every bit of effort you put into mastering him, it means Genji "mains" in general tend to be far more dedicated to their preferred hero, than most other players in the game objectively speaking. So it's only natural that when Genji is actually in a decent state, the quantity of players proficient with him can easily make it seem like Genji as a hero is much better than he is, which isn't reflective of reality, it's just the fact that all these devoted players are now actually allowed to play their hero without getting hero diffed by default at the baseline value level. When he isn't meta, he gets medium value on average, but when Genji is neutrally viable, you see these players come into their true right and really do some damage even though they aren't overall ranked higher than everybody else. They are just that more invested in this particular hero, than pretty much anybody else is to theirs.
At least that's my hypothesis of his kit that fosters great devotion because he's just so fun and rewarding from a gameplay experience perspective.

I love the perspective of playing heroes that make the game fun rather than singularly focusing on “optimal picks”. Really fun video

Highly recommend the full video SVB made with Jake, I watched the whole thing and there are a LOT of great tips Jake gives on it

I spent weeks trying to learn how to play Genji before deciding that even though he can be fun and good, he just takes so much effort to play. I just want to chill and have fun. Not force myself to get super sweaty and my fingers cramped up from both his high mechanical skill needed and the game sense required. Echo works somewhat similarly to Genji but feels way easier to play for me and I have a lot of fun on her now.

Perhaps a 7 day Echo learning? I’d really like to see that one day.

Wow, I mean I know Jake's history but I didn't realize how smart he is with these specific focuses

Great video man. Had the same feeling with genji and other close range characters, it feels like in the current meta with sniper maps, brawl comps with mei and unkillable supports it's tough to have a massive value on the character, so we can only hope that blizzard will nerf genji even more because of that 😂

A tip for Genji from Necros himself is to dash at peoples feet so you dont have turn around to shuriken people that you want dead

I need to clear something up, just because a character has an ability that Genji cant deflect that doesn't make them a Genji counter. Remember, all the other characters also can't deflect, you wouldn't say Moira counters McCree would you. Actual Genji counters are Sym, Torb, Doom, Junker Queen, Junkrat, Zarya Mei or Moira (if paired with another counter), Echo, and Bap just because of his immortality field. People also think Winston and Hog counter him, but they just end up being ult farms.

Very nice! I just started playing Genji a couple of days ago and it feels actually difficult, but with this vid I've found some nice motivation a few useful tips. Cheers!

11:38 sadly, that day won't come. Blizzard, and the community, is way more focused on just doing whatever the individual wants and not actually play it as a team game. And that counts for literally all the the ingame queues, yes, even ranked. The only way to get that experience, which most of us don't have time for, is to search for a team, and play in scrims and small tournaments. And seeing as Blizzard wants to control everything, you can't just join a random LAN-Party, and play the game because .. It's not allowed.

I think they need to give him 30 ammo or a faster reload speed
