Question Best way to improve in gold?

5 Upvotes

Hey people, what would you guys say is the most important thing to do or focus on when trying to improve on genji? Specifically in gold rank. Is it developing fight IQ? Or mechanical practice? Or just playing more games and getting experience?

Thanks in advance for any replies/advice!

Not clean i'm really rusty. Also not minding the 1-3-2 format, only negatives are that it ends up being Zarya every game with another tank.

Dicussion Genji Needs Dmg Buffs

0 Upvotes

for those saying 29 dmg is too much or its "op" you have to realize genji currently does the lowest amount of dmg he's ever done, before the season 9 hp and hitbox changes genji did 27 (IN THE PAST HE USED TO DO 29 ) dmg per shuriken to 200 hp targets his shuriken's were larger and his playstyle was actually a hyper aggressive dive/flanker, but since season 9 increased squishes hp from 200 to 250 which is a 25% increase and they never compensated genji's dmg but instead made his shuriken's smaller (which leads to more misses) with 27 dmg, due to these changes it ultimately changed genji's playstyle to a more boring poke / contest angles / only follow up on tank playstyle were he cant go for solo kills like he used to be able to do and 27 to 29 is just a 7.4% increase over what he has now. Even if u were to do that, it still doesn't equate to having 27 dmg shuriken's pre s9. you'd have to buff it to 33.75 dmg just for it to be equivalent to pre s9 27 dmg

How do you decide whether to sneak around and set up a flank vs. hold an angle and poke with shuriken?

Question Game review if you wouldn’t mind 🙂

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was hoping some of you could take a look at this game I recently played. I thought I did pretty well, but I did notice I made some mistakes. If possible, could some of you take a look at this game and give me some tips? Code is: 5X36Z7. Btw the camera angle is a bit shaky because I’m playing on switch with Gyro controls.

PS: Yes, I accidentally emoted. Yes, some of those deaths were very embarrassing. And yes, sometimes I kind of had a mercy pocket

Question How to do the snap?

3 Upvotes

Title might be a bit confusing. I'm getting better with the one shot combo (dash, fan, melee). However, seeing other videos of Genjis being able to snap 180, or snap to the person where they dashed, and it looks like they didn't even need to turn. Is this an extremely high sens thing? An editing trick? What's up?

(Note: If this is a sens thing, I'm running 9% 1000 DPI)

I'll provide two montages one from me and a montage I think is really cool, both same rank ranges, but completely different gameplays.

Question Tips for a Pharah main looking to make genji my 2nd hero?

5 Upvotes

I desperately need a backup hero for when I am just way too countered on pharah. I'm much better at projectile heroes, and I know that genji is a difficult hero to begin with, but I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I think maybe I sit back and spam too much when I should be looking for targets to dive, but I can barely hit genji's shuriken as it is, not to mention my ult usage on genji needs to be studied...lol.

Just wondering if there's any tips or small changes that some of you have made to your playstyle that ended up making a big difference in how you perform on genji. In addition, if you have any tips on it, even just aiming both primary and secondary fire that would be much appreciated. thanks a lot.
