I'm a plat 3 Genji and my biggest weakness with Genji is my aim, it's terrible how sometimes I can miss all 24 shurikens on one enemy. Even if I try to train it, I'm still not consistent with it. If you have any tips that would be good. Great video
I would recommend you to be more patient with your shots. Sometimes you can even stand still to line up the shot.
True, that’s also my biggest weakness, hitting my shurikens. My blades are pretty consistent, get around 2-3 kills with it, but shurikens? Not so much.
@@nait7849 opposite for me, I can get 2-4 kills with just Shurikens. Then as soon as I blade I’ll be lucky to get 2 kills atm.
I'm a Silver 1 Genji and in my honest opinion it's better if you practice Genji shuriken by thinkin that it works like Reaper shotgun without the verticle bullet, it can help you hitting the enemy more and if they're below half it's probably better if you go in for the dash + melee combo which is basically 80 damage if you do it right
I’m plat 1 genji and I have the opposite problem 😂 half the time I’m better without blade
i love the background music man it makes the video 10x better, im subbed and liked the video.
0:30 the reason why genji should have high sens is because he's a 360 degree character you're always constantly have to turn multiple times around a fight because of your dash ability.
3:30 you should be looking to secondary fire melee cancel into a blade sneaking in that melee is also applicable with your tip
The thing is about high sens is that it’s hard for some people to get use to and be pin point with so I always recommend a low/fast sens for him to help with accuracy for controller
@@WhoKoa It depends imo, I was a top500 console genji onetrick and I found that using low aim smoothing with exponential curve works super well for blade. Building ult with fans or straights from mid distance works super well while close range fans can be flicked to the head easily. Turning becomes naturally faster thanks to exp. curve. Combine that with the bumpers for jumping and genji can be a force go be reckoned with. But ultimatley everybody has their own way of playing that they have to master and genji is insanely reliant in game sense, more so than pretty much any hero so its entirely a matter of practice and personal prefference.
@@gavinferguson2938 that is true and that’s why I tell people to try high sens and practice on it and if they don’t like it I always recommend a slower one (doesn’t have to be extremely slow) but just a slower one than what they previously had
High sens is bad for players like me who cant handle it acuracy is more important
@@WhoKoai know im late asf but is 65 vertical and 75 horizontal sens high or low
Thanks for the tips and setting koa those were really helpful
Kota you helped me a lot from those settings thank you 😁
Personally, I started playing OW2 about 2 months ago and I pretty much only play genji. I have around 150 hours on him and I’m gm3, in my opinion getting late game staggers on supports and juggling your enemies can lead to pretty easy wins and an easy time on the ladder, great video! Entertaining and informative, keep it up
So just poke and go in for the kill when a squishy is low or when you have blade?
@@chill5721low, or at least half (ish)
@@chill5721in Overwatch, what you do is always dependent on the decisions that your team are currently making. Genji is amazing at poking from off-angles, but it only makes sense during certain states of play - and what I mean by this is that you can’t just automatically default to sitting somewhere safe to poke from (whether that’s grouped up with your team or by running off and finding an off-angle) - even if it is a good strategy a lot of the time.
I suggest looking at A10’s guides. He opened my eyes to the concepts of neutral space, and resources - of which are vital to understand as a Genji player.
@@mommaduck79 👍 thanks
My biggest weakness as a console player is the limited 90 fov, specially with characters like Genji.
I have astigmatism and I don't like wearing glasses, so I just sit so near to the tv i only see the croshair lol
Pretty solid stuff my guy. I just wanted to say my 2cents on a stigma I see especially in lower ranks... Genji is actually better on defense than on attack. Reason is because you don't have to commit as much on defense but on attack you really gotta use all of his kit just to survive and well deflect can still be utterly useless. Don't worry about trying to get the 6man blade. Sometimes, 1 blade kill is really all you need. And sometimes even 0 kills is enough to taunt a couple big cooldowns or ultimates so the trade is actually pretty massive. That's gonna take some practice to see when to trade in your blade but you should always try to go for big plays if you can. Please don't take this as a backseat comment I'm merely making a suggestion as an ex coach but that's pretty much redundant as this is your video. Was just for the ones who keep hearing "switch off genji he's bad etc"
This was so helpful I just started playing genji
Huge tip for anyone who hasn’t done this, but put deflect on the jump button~ and put jump on a trigger. It’s a must for controller players imo
Also if you can get used to clawing your controller, and playing with a finger on each trigger/bumper~ you’ll be able to get a lot faster combos once you get the practice, but that one’s way less important
that vid was a very helpful one for me👍
This is late, but I actually struggle getting value with blade more so than the rest of genjis kit. Which is interesting bc blade is thought to be an easy ult. Though, that was back in ow1 season 3. I haven’t played in a long time, and wanted to come back and learn him now. I’m good and consistent with combos, like the dash combos etc, but I can’t seem to ever do well with blade.
Blade is a terrible ult so it’s understandable if you struggle with it. Using a blade without any sort of damage buff is horrible. Try to focus 1 or 2 ppl when you blade it’s better than nothing at all. Also remember blade isn’t always used for kills sometimes you need to zone with it.
We need more people like you. ❤
Great video keep it up man 🩶🙏🏼
pluto in the feed lookin hot
Actually helpful video, especially about the sens
Thank you
A tip for you sens for genii start slow then get faster work on the fundamentals first ihave been doing this for lots of console games and it has help a lot
i try you settings and i love it can you do settings videos for all characters ,
love you
Much love I’m glad it helps
I wanna learn how to play genji cause I never usually play him, I main reaper and hog mostly, but my weakness is whenever I play genji I rush into the enemy quickly and I never get value and I don’t really know what settings to use for him, but ima try you’re out and practice with the map codes cause honestly, imo he’s pretty fun to use when u get value
Tysm 😊
My biggest issue are moving characters. Like whenenever i dash in, they already moved so i cant use the Sec shot and melee because they are already out of range. any advice ?
can u give me tips on how to improve my aim when using his primary?
I tried ur setting but out window size to 70 and there goated thank u
my only tip as an plat geji from my experience is, get some good settings + learn some sick combos + git gud
hey! So I’ve recently downloaded overwatch and no lifed it and now I have every charater besides kiriko lifeweaver ramattra and jq and I wanted to know your cross hair settings for genji every since I’ve heard of overwatch I’ve always loved genji and really want to get better with him just my aim is garbage ;-;
hi,can you tell me/make a video how to enter the codes at the end?
man ive been trying to figure out genji for a while i did not know making your sensitivity low could make such an impact
Everything you do with your settings plays a huge factor :)
after this vid I dropped an immediate 20 bomb thanks for the tips cuz
Ever since watching this in video in only 2 months I went from play 1:Genji to gm genji🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good job Brodie :)
i know im late to the video but ah quick question do you hold down secondary fire or tap button?
Tap it
I haven’t even played competitive yet after watching this video about three days later I’m gold
Short but informative i turned my sens to 90 and vertical to 70 now im playing genji better than before
Yeah I played on 97 hori 90 vert linear 0 aim smoothing for a few months and managed to get to master 1 last season but I was so inconsistent. I swapped to 80 hori 70 vert 75 smoothing last week and hit gm 5 like instantly. Consistency is way more important than speed
I just recently started playing this game, around the time it went free last year. I've been meaning to get good with Genji but unfortunately I swear my biggest weakness with every single character in the entire game, not just limited to Genji, is aiming. It's not that my sensitivity is too low or anything. It's just for some reason, my brain has a horrible time trying to lock onto enemies and hit them successfully before they do the same to me. Genji is a character I really want to get better at but I'm terrified to practice with him because I feel like I'll just be humiliating myself during matches.
Don’t worry about playing bad in actual games just have fun at the end of the day it’s just a game :)
@@WhoKoa Yeah but it is kinda hard not to let the smack talk get to you. Even on QP you’re gonna get it. So many characters I want to learn how to play. Genji, DVA, Reinhardt, etc. and I feel embarrassed every time I queue up as them because I secretly know the game is gonna be thrown because of my lack of skills.
@@OutOfNameIdeas819 just squelch the team and the match chat. Easy Solution
Thank you.
I said no to all of those questions 😂 but I guess that’s why I’m here 😅
u need more subs bro
Thank you
What is a good hero pool for genji on console that you recommend? (like Tracer, and other dps heroes ) especially when you get countered
Tracer, Ashe, Widow, Sojourn and Cassidy hitscan are hard meta at the moment and it’s best to learn them now then later
Reaper is a good alternative imo
@@FarewellGreen I think for winston definitely, but everything i can do with reaper i can do with genji for less cooldowns
Rn im low silver genji. I wouldnt say im good enough to be something like high gold but as long as ive got healers that can heal me when needed or ensure i stay alive going for a somewhat risky dive then i can really pop off. When i first started maining genji no joke their was a sym every match. With 30 matches in total their were maybe 8 that i didn’t immediately see a sym, mei, moira, or all 3. But despite always seeing my counters ive actually found i play better against them sometimes, like a sym is easier to handle than a soldier with good aim thats smart enough to not shoot my deflect. I am gonna try to slow down my combos and dashes. One area i kinda struggle is dashing at ppls feet so i can be in their face. I use linear bc i found i hit combos easy with it and i use high sense with aim assist to rein in that high speed for some needed accuracy at range. Ive been making an attempt to dash at ppls sides and turn 90 degrees for the combo but sometimes they will walk forward or move in a way that i have to try to do a 160/180 anyways. But im gonna try to practice in qp trying to slowdown those combos to ensure i land and im not just wasting ammo, bc a fair amount of time ill see an opening for a good dash kill or maybe its slightly more hp so i need to shoot a few shots just to have to reload and missing that opportunity. So tomorrow ill be slowing everything down and working on ammo management
Personally low sensitivity feels too slow for me and higher sensitivity makes it feel more comfortable. I play max sensitivity both horizontal and vertical and I still think it’s not fast enough because I want to be more fluent in 180°’s I have 53 hours on Genji PS5.
I am a diamond genji main been playing for like 5 years and i would like to say I'm pretty good. My mechanics and aim are pretty good and i have good understanding of positioning until I start to blade. Any tips to mitigate me from going into a situation with blade.
For the most part you gotta think about cooldowns and who has what. Once you understand what the enemy team has wasted then you’ll be fine. Look for the supports and dps first and focus at least 2 kills.
I have my sens on 45 for looking then for looking up and down I have it on 35 this is best for me I am a doomfist player but I think this work on genji I think I will do it for doomfist too
For me my only problem is when i dash behind someone and want to look at them it's kinda slow idk even tho my sens isn't slow
Just controller problems unfortunately
This video got me to diamond
my mechanics r good i just have absolutely 0 game sense and get lost way to often. im good at shooting and combos (when i finally get the opportunity to hit them) but thats about it. overwatch is my first heavily team based game so i guess its not unfounded that i have no idea what im doing. i really wanna keep him tho because his playstyle is closest to fighting games which im more familiar with.
one thing ive found that messes with me the most is how short/small he is compared to other characters, probably cs hes almost crouch walking on default but people can so easily jump on your head and its so disorienting
Yea I would highly recommend learning the height difference first because it messes everyone up at first because genji crouches and with the game sense part you should watch good players play him and you’ll pick up a few things
I play on unusual settings for genji:
horizontal: 80
vertical: 40
aim assist strength 100
aim assist window 80
linear ramp
nothing else
i don’t have aim smoothing,aim assist ease or aim ease in because it feels disgusting to play with after getting used playing with neither but i did start off with around 20-30 aim ease in because it helped my accuracy. I’m not going to lie i’m not very consistent with my shurikens primary fire and i’m alright with the secondary fire because of the 80 sensitivity but the 40 vertical compensates for it. The 80 sensitivity is the most comfortable to do 360s for me because it’s fast but controllable but i am accurate enough with it. the 40 vertical helps me with my accuracy easily for mercy’s. i only have 80 hours on him and i can say i’m an alright genji. i’m a silver 2 but honestly i think i cap out at gold 5-4 with him. i’ve tried having aim smoothing and that other stuff to be accurate but it just doesn’t feel right. i have no clue why i’m posting this, i just want your opinions/ insight
As long as you can consistently get value with genji by wasting cool downs, getting kills, making the back line focus you and overall just being annoying then you’re fine. People don’t understand how important it is to do all of those things. Now about the accuracy thing, as long as you can hit most shurikens in a game then you’ll be fine. Also if your decently consistent with blade then I think you found your sens now you just need to practice with it.
@@WhoKoais there anything you’d recommend settings wise?
@@WhoKoaor just tips to improve
@@zen3055 it’s kinda hard to type all of my tips but I’ll just give you a few really quickly. Try to poke the back line as much possible. Also try to build your genji as fast as possible you should focus on hitting the tank for ult charge and when you see a opportunity to kill a squishy you should take that. One more thing you should use your wall climb as often as possible for survivability.
@@WhoKoa i appreciate it
My setting that I feel I get a lot of result with at gm are
Vert 60
Horizontal 60
Window 70
AA Strength 100
Linear ramp
Everything else 0 feels very smooth
I have a counter argument for you saying low sensitivity is better for genji, after genji dashes (swift strikes) he would benefit so much more from a fast sens to instantly turn and alt fire the enemy, its so much more consistent and with dragon blade i tried many times to do it on default sens and its so hard as half the time i need to turn after dashing to hit my enemy, and its feels almost impossible to do it consistently, long range shuriken aim is not a problem as you dont need your aim to be that precise, and medium range its totally ok to use high sens too, overall he benefits more from higher sens, the difference was unexpectedly huge
Fast sense is most definitely better. I was mainly talking about the people that struggle on high sense on genji. I find low sense more consistent for me but if high sense works for you by all means continue to use it.
ya low sens is horrible for him, on every character actually. its such a fast pace game where enemies are flying everywhere, i dont know why you would wana hav low sens other than for high firerate aim tracking characters
@@WhoKoa Thx
@@WhoKoa What you said is also very true
Gold genji and my biggest weak is matchmaking
how is your aim so smooth with dual zone, I used these exact settings and it's sooo snappy
These are my old settings but you get use to it the more you play on dual zone
Can u play some tracer? Really struggling to find anything to work with her
Yea imma make a video for her dw it’ll just take me some time to
@@WhoKoa thanks can’t wait to see :)
As a former gm Genji main, good job 👍
Hopefully you see this I feel like I’m having a real hard time disengaging from enemies and feel like I’m wasting my deflect any tips?
Don’t think to much about your deflect. You should be thinking about wall climbing and using your dash to get away. Stay close to any sort of high ground just in case you have to escape, or even your teammates. Make sure you make a plan before diving onto someone.
Study my Genji
tell me how to win against a mei, maybe it’s a dumb question but I been trying to main genji but mei just annihilates me
You gotta play with ur team if there’s a mei. You won’t win 1v1s against them if you don’t hit headshots or just aim good overall.
yippee
Yahoo
I get hit a ton I always see the top genji players and they almost never get hit but then I also see people saying that you shouldn’t always double jump bc it’ll mess your aim up which my aim in general is terrible as genji
Hi, do you use kontrolfreeks?
Nope just a normal controller
hi, do you use claw?
Yes I am a claw player
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PPL JUST STOOD STILL
I watched this and looked at some of the combos aren’t some of them pointless rn I mean this was 4 months so it’s on me for watching late but it seems like he does enough damage and the combos are to long
Ultimate guide in 4 mn ? Was just the introduction right?
Im hard stuck gold because I can't turn properly after dash
I have sens on 45 too 55 trust me I did it today and it's so good
Are you play in ps5 or xbox
Xbox
Series s or x
@@Twiscoper S
Is it bad I got over like 300 hours probably on genji across all my accounts. I’m still average 😂
Everyone gets better at different paces so I would say no :)
I just wanna say I HATE XIAO and great video
What did xiao do 😭
Do u play claw
Yes I do
Im gm 5 but I don’t find good Settings tbh
Not meant for everyone just personal preference. Also those are my old settings.
No way thats ur actual setting. U shouldn't be able to turn that fast with 100 aim smoothing on console let alone on a dual zone
Put *
Only 100 hours..? I have 400+ how are you still better
My only problem with genji is sensitivity settings. Not aim, the settings. Everytime I find the "perfect settings for me" they become wayy too fast after a while and I'm back to square one
It's definitely not a controller issue aswell as I got a new one recently, tried my usual sens but everything just feels horrendous. I'm convinced Blizz did something with sensitivity settings as this only started happening after season 7. I'm hesitant to go back only because of this
Same here
