Not a genji main, but just wanted to drop in and say how helpful your guides have been for me. I was a pretty hardstuck plat/diamond Tank main in OW1, trying to transition to playing Tank and DPS on Echo in OW2 and want to get a lot better. I watched your Pathing guide for OW1 recently, and it really changed by perspective on compositions and strategy. Content is fantastic and you deserve more subs!
(and most importantly, great music taste on the vids!)
It's really cool to hear this!
I need to practice genji instalocking because giving new players genji as their first unlock is a high ceiling
XD
Indeed, first mythic skin should have been an easy to play hero, not the hardest one, so new players actually want that battle pass. But then again, blizzard is not known for being smart at this department....
@@argusy3866 a hero being easy or not isn't important for this, what matters is how popular and fun a character is, making Genji one of the best picks for the 1st mythic skin
So you’re giving them no practice to get better ?
@@rexy8787 if they pick a hero they’re not good at it could for sure he considered throwing (this does not apply to QP)
Great guide! Thanks for your dedication for this community Poke!
Thank YOU for the kind words, and I'm happy to help!
Thank you so much for this super detailed guide, I just started playing ow 1 last week to prepare for ow2 and I by far want to get good with Genji the most because I know how hard everyone says he is. 🤙
I hope I can help you on your journey!
Best guide I've ever watched. So much helpful info to digest. Thank you
Happy to help!
After binging your videos for a week I’ve realized that although your mechanics are not at the level of shadder or necros, your game sense is lowkey impressive, I hope you get the recognition you deserve even if you won’t be able to respond to every comment anymore
I will always try to!
12:15 Lol I instantly remembered an aiming video from Arrge where he mentioned the same weaknesses in a similar tone and probably in the same order
It's a goated video! When I made my own aim guide, I linked quite a few of his in the description as he was a big part of my research on the topic =)
just got this on my recommended, nice video! thanks!
the goat himself is here! Thanks =)
coming back to OW after the drought and i really needed this,thanks
Welcome back!
Great video, really helped out thank you for this!
Glad it helped!
Very complete guide! Best content creator for the learning genji out there hands down. Keep going at it mate! You make 100k sub content, Lets get you there!
Thank you so much
another tip based on the gameplay is mastering the 180 headshot flick. I see in alot of clips you dashing in and instantly 180 right click on the enemy head, I feel like this in combination with jumping before a dash to dash more accurately are great tips, at least those are what I picked up in the video. Very well done.
😂
in game going for such risky and precise plays is definitely not ideal, although the height elevation for precise dashes is almost always useful. Practicing those is very fun though, so that's why I will often go for them in custom games =)
Your such a great creator thank you for the content I’m so glad I found u
♥
This is the most informative overwatch character guide on youtube period.
thanks for the high praise!
Thank you very much ❤
You're welcome!
I used to play overwatch when i was slightly younger, although i didn't play it often
Genji had caught my eye and i remember being very fond of his play style, even as a beginner
Are you trying to pick him up now in OW2?
Why the hell does this dude have not even 1,000 subs? This guide was GOATED!
that has been... fixed
Great guide! This helped me to Get more kills and dmg.
I'm happy to hear that!
i haven't played genji in a year so thanks for giving my playstyle back
welcome back!
@@HarmlessPoke thx poke😄
I just started play OW again never really played the game a lot but I wanted to get better at Genji thanks for the help!
happy to help!
Under rated TH-camr can’t wait till u blow up this helped me alot
❤
Great guide poke!
thank you =)
I really struggle with my decision making on genji and positioning/pathing successfully so this has been really useful
Happy to hear that!
@@HarmlessPoke Just had a question, how do I beat a pharah as a genji?
@@cosmic8558 you can try to beat her in the air, which usually requires use of highground positions to setup and be close before having to use dash. The best way imo is to simply ignore her as a team and rush the people on the ground, taking a quick 5v4 or even 5v3 if she has a mercy pocket, winning that and then either hiding or dealing with the threat in the air as a team with a numbers advantage
I‘m new to OW and even though I currently suck and Genji is probably not very beginner friendly.. I am determined to be able to play him well. So thanks for the video!
I hope to help you on your journey to become hokage!
Commenting before I finish. Already 10/10 for including MvC2 music.
hell yeah!
Very informative guide
happy to hear that!
Thank you a LOT for this video, you cover more approaches rather than just execution and abilities.
As an extra, I have a doubt, when performing the Dash > Secondary shot > melee combo, do I need to quickly turn around the camera for the Secondary > melee? Or atleast that was I noticed.
Again, thanks a bunch for this video.
It depends on where your target is. If you dash through your target, landing the followup damage after the dash requires a 180 flick, while a dash at their feet needs a small upward flick ;)
nice vid bro! I'm watching it while waiting for queue rn (40k ppl lol)
Thanks! Good luck in the queue 💀
@@HarmlessPoke bruh, still waiting 💀
@@m1ntas apparently blizzard is under a DDoS attack...
so close to 2k!!!!
we got there!
great vid!
when do the vod reviews usually take place
I don't have a schedule setup yet, although I want to set one up again soon. I do them on stream here on youtube, but I warn who is being reviewed ahead of time in my discord server
@@HarmlessPoke sweet sounds good 👍
Amazing tutorial helped me to diamond😊
happy to help!
Wow, this guide really skyrocketed! Recognition for lord Poke!
Does this mean I get to wear a cool cape and start a cult? =P
@@HarmlessPoke Didnt you already xD?
@@jespervernooij8636 maybe in an alternate universe!
When dueling, how do you know when it’s a good time to dive in for a pick, and when to stay back and support the team?
genji isn't great at supporting his team defensively. He can do so by helping eliminate agressive enemies, but that's most of what he can do. As far as your other question goes, diving for a pick is good if you don't need to save dash to match a movement ability, someone is isolated or low, etc.
Wish I could play like this as some common scrub, find myself just getting deleted and struggling in duels against heroes that don't have any form of restore or control
welp, you have come to the right place! I hope I can help you in getting better at OW2!
Yay new video
!!!
Important note i havent seen anyone bring up. You cant 3 hs melee for a kill anymore. You MUST dash reset to have the same impact
I think genji is still too strong in this state, time to ask blizzard for another nerf since he is dominating the game =P
@@HarmlessPoke while we are at it we should get blizzard to give junkrat another mine
@@kiwikiwi5602 yeah!
Deflect is also super key when considering helping your tank out. With the new 5v5. The deflection is really important to master
now that tanks got super buffed to work in a single tank environment, I don't think deflecting to help your tanks does much tbh, but I do agree it is a really important skill to master =)
i love being there for the homies when they're in deeper water than they can handle
Just discovered your channel and it really provides good content ! What is your sens in ow and your dpi ? Ive played for years with 3.0 and 1600 dpi but sometimes it feels like i lack of fluidity in my movzments when i blade
1500 dpi, 4 in-game. I also use mouse acceleration, for more info on that check this video: th-cam.com/video/B7pviMh6x5Y/w-d-xo.html
hey, great video! what are the workshop codes you used in the video? especially the one with anas in the workshop chamber
DMGRE and XQA5B
@@HarmlessPoke thank you!!
Would you elaborate to the pick symmetra first then switch in control points? Will sub after a reply!
this is what I'm talking about (timestamped from a livestream)
th-cam.com/video/CjPCpxneQMo/w-d-xo.html
@@HarmlessPoke thank you
Would you mind dropping some of those workshop codes? Been looking to learn genji, and my worst part is my dragon blade
The workshop codes used in this video are DMGRE and XQA5B. As far as dragonblade goes, I have a whole video on it I would recommend checking out: th-cam.com/video/-GQ1dXiPEkY/w-d-xo.html
Hey how is your tab screen like that at 0:20 seconds ?
this footage is from a beta test ;)
where do i find that dragon blade workshop map , id love to practice on it
the code for it is DMGRE (the other workshop I used in the video is XQA5B)
what sens in the mouse and in the game do you use for genji? is different from other heroes
4 in-game, 1500 dpi. Same sens for all heroes. I also use a program called "Raw Accel" for mouse acceleration, check this video for more information on the topic: th-cam.com/video/B7pviMh6x5Y/w-d-xo.html
What what if there team is grouped up in the chick or just in general? What play stake should I use
you can still do the same thing! If you take an off angle and they don't contest you, you will eventually get someone low to finish off or make them run out of resources. If they check you with someone you can't duel or with more than 1 player, you are happy to kite them! If you can duel them, you are happy with that too! it's a win-win-win scenario, unless the enemy team rushes your team trying to take a quick 5v4, in which case you have to be fast to hit them from the back, aiming for at least 1 pick in case your team ust falls apart since that will give your team an advantage on the upcoming fight due to your stagger pick (granted you live with your dash reset)
Hey does the discord work? I tried to join but it won’t let me leave the rules chat.
all you have to do is react to the second message (I manually gave you the member role)
What's the map used on 10:44? Looks interesting
XQA5B
@@HarmlessPoke awesome, thanks!
What is your sensitivity because I am new in this game and I don’t know what is good and bad for me
I use 4 in-game, 1500 dpi. I also have two videos on this sensitivity topic that I recommend watching: th-cam.com/video/kQcrHYlus8M/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/B7pviMh6x5Y/w-d-xo.html
A question should i just jump into comp and try to learn genji there or start with unranked and then go into comp
You probably want to get more familiar with him before going into comp, to make sure you know the basics
What are the training packs you're using?
DMGRE and XQA5B
Could you make a Genji console controller settings video
I can probably include this in my upcoming settings video! Even though I have never played Overwatch on a controller, I can ask for help from friends on the topic =)
i could almost see clearly with that one pixel
?
OW2 IS OUT!!!
Bro what custom map are younusing
DMGRE and XQA5B
@@HarmlessPoke thank you very much bro
how does this guide change, or do you have any other tips for console players?
I made this guide with both PC and console in mind. In general, I tend to focus heavily on playing smart, seeing mechanical skill as a tool: it doesn't matter how good it may be if the user can't use it, but a smart person can use average tools for more than just average jobs ;)
Even avrage players know this espacilly master like me
bro how did you right-click melee 100 to 0 that 200hp ashe at 1:27 ?
in this example in particular it wasn't even a one shot combo since I shot twice, but you can one shot with triple headshot + melee since shurikens deal 29 damage and melee does 30, so 29x6+30=204
@@HarmlessPoke damn bro, I didn't even notice you shot your shuriken twice.
Are you gonna do a video on the nerfs? and is it gonna kill genji enough to where learning him is useless?
only if they go through, so far it's just leaks that may or may not be true
@@HarmlessPoke If it does go through will he be useless?
@@soulcrowpokemon idk, we will see
I'm confused how does triple headshot plus melee deal 204? I thought it did 198 since 28 x 3 = 84 x 2 = 168 + 30 = 198? Am I missing a change or something?
shurikens deal 29 damage =)
@@HarmlessPoke ooooh I see. Did they buff that?

just now i starting tilting a little because i died because i accidently jumped off a wall i was climbing

I can't use dragon blade for the life of me, no matter what happens, if I use it the enemy team will cast some ult that cancels mine, like zens iris, or lucios beat... Idk how to get around this

@@ikaros6633 nice!
i submitted a vod on google forms. And whats next step?
I will review it on stream if I get to it before a new patch hits (new patches delete replays). Unfortunately, I can't guarantee I will get to your replay in time since there are many submissions ahead in the queue, but who knows!

I'm new to this game, and I want to main Genji. But I play on controller, I don't know how I'm going achieve the mobility required to become a cracked Genji main while using controller.
don't worry, playing on a controller will not prevent you from becoming as good as you desire =)
(one of the main things people think in OW2 is that aiming is purely mechanical skill, when in reality that is only a small part of hitting your shots. If you want help with that, I have an aim guide that should be useful) th-cam.com/video/UEU_dgmk9UE/w-d-xo.html

@@HarmlessPoke yeah a short video would be pretty cool, all we need are the essentials
so what exactly am I talking about? I don't think genji has any hero specific settings that should be changed, keybinds are personal preference so unless I'm missing something I don't exactly see the point

I simply can’t hit any shots with Genji’s primary fire, I don’t know why, but anything with a burst I just can’t hit
Genji's primary fire is weird since it often comes down to prediction, not skill. Not only that, it's a projectile burst, so you want to track during the whole animation, but ahead of time.

@@HarmlessPoke and also how I move and act under pressure needs alot of fixing lol
@@Rinku_Makino_TS reaper is one of the few characters that can go toe to toe with tanks, and he is also a very strong flanker if you are really good at pathing. I'm not a reaper expert, but one thing that I see high level reapers often doing is taking a long time to setup walking around the map with teleport, and after the enemy is too close to dodge him or they forget about him he pounces on the opportunity and wreaks havoc.
@@Rinku_Makino_TS that is gonna be a lot of playing to get used to the pressure. Every time I ranked up I started playing a little scared, until I got used to it and repeated the process until I was playing against OWL players on the ladder =)
A lot of useful advice, only issue for me is that you have one of those zone out voices where it's difficult to pay attention to. Might just be me though
I wonder if it's because of the microphone
listen no hate man, but why even leave this comment? kinda just disrespectful to give a backhand compliment(?) like that. might just be me though
@@tristanwalker2858 I personally didn't find it disrespectful. I believe the wording was the main issue, because I do agree that audio quality could be improved in the future
@@HarmlessPoke that’s fair
Oh shit, actual responses for once. But yeah, nah wasn't meant to be disrespectful, was meant more as a throwaway line that I doubted would've been read, as I assumed it would've been lost in abyss that is the TH-cam comments section. And tbh I was kinda "chilled out" (for lack of a better term) when watching the vid so half my fault lol.
Going back to listen to the vid though I can say yeah, audio is a bit off. Best way I can put it is that it's dampened in such a way that it sounds like you're speaking from the other side of a room.
You can pick up decent audio stuff, namely a set of balanced headphones and a USB mic that you could use for editing and vids, for around the same price as a good gaming headset. Since head set mics are always shit lol. Especially the bluetooth ones. Bit of exaggeration but you get the point.
wait how did you get on fire?!
I used some OW1 footage to make the video alongside OW2 beta footage. Interestingly, it seems as if "on fire" voicelines still exist, but the system is hidden now, although it could be that some heroes just have some voicelines that would make you think the system still exists when it doesn't, I'm not too sure here.
@@HarmlessPoke They said they are going to revisit it tho so that's hope
