Genji is one of those heroes that if you aren’t very good then you’re just a punching bag for the enemy team. But once you get good, you’re almost unkillable

This is the first tutorial that was short, sweet and actually useful that I’ve found. One big tip I want to add tho because this is a problem I struggled with is try to preserve your life more and know where health packs are. You can force a shuriken melee combo but I find it best to break them down a good bit before heading in. Just don’t dash in carelessly and retreat as much as possible if you do. Good luck fellow genji mains

As someone who's taken a liking to genji recently, your guide has helped me understand how to play him better. Thank you
I hope you find some ground in the overwatch community so that more players find these guides

The last few days I've been looking at guides and starting to use genji in quick games, and videos like this are very helpful.
And if anyone else is reading this, remember that Genji is hard to use, and takes a lot of practice, don't give up. : ]

I used to watch your dauntless content years ago but naturally stopped after I quit the game. Cool to see you here on overwatch since I recently picked up the game. I wish you well on your content creation journey man!

genjis hard to get into because of how much is going on that you have to keep track of in very short time periods which once you get better its OP, but i dont think he should be getting nerfed because hes also really easy to counter by just switching characters. seriously, all it takes to mostly counter him is having a tank switch to zarya/winston or a healer to switch to moira

thank you for making this. short, no extraneous filler. direct and to the point. love it.

Crazy transition. Gotta respect the editing. 8:52
Thanks for the tip man! I used to play Genji a lot in 2017 and am now returning to Overwatch 2 with friends and these tips are surely gonna help me get good at him again.

Hey man, I've competed in fighting games for years but feel like a complete scrub playing FPS for the first time. These tips were helpful. As someone who is new, it would be helpful to see more common mistakes people make playing various roles.

That one Zarya that avoided your ult in the beginning shows how OP she is

[oriongabriel]

Great tutorial! I've been a genji main since the launch of overwatch 1 pretty much but I'm going to try and actively get good and learn.

One tip I have against pharah: Pharahs are usually cocky since they know you are at a disadvantage so if she is close to a wall you can climb up the wall and get on her and right click her, if she tries to get away you have dash to get closer and get that 50 damage in. Even if she doesn't die it might make it easy for someone else to secure the kill.

On that note, be sure to abuse your mobility when in a close quarters fight, jump over people and make it hard for the enemies to predict your movement, if anything it gets their attention off of your teammates.

Have a good day :)

I’ve played overwatch for a long time (on and off) and Genji has always been my favourite character lore wise and in looks. However I have always sucked at him. Now I’m finally taking the first step in getting good at him

[kaiunsasori]

I've been playing Genji for awhile now and I could definitely say he's very fun to play in my opinion. I super want to get better with him and those adv tech really sounds pretty good Im definitely gonna try it out and see how effective it is and how easy to hit an opponent with it. Thanks for the guide!

a problem they resolved with genji's ultimate is that in ow1 when your ultimate would end it would cancel your deflect preemptively, in ow2 the ending animation is delayed until you are finished casting your ability

[aru-YT]

Thank you for making this guide, it really helped me! Genji was my least played hero and I always wanted to learn to play Genji since I have the Illidian skin and haven't used it because i'm bad at Genji.. I think a lot of it is practice too, but this video gives people a lot of good tips.

[joshuabonoan]
