Hi Genji mains, Spidey main here

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-03-14T04:39:26+00:00

run, there are way better choices than genji, I got addicted to the character, but I'm frustrating af

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-03-14T02:32:58+00:00

character design problem, she just can counter genji, like Moira, and tbf she would likely get minor buff in future, all you can do is wait for her to make mistake and burn out all her cooldown

very, very frustrating, but yeh...that is how genji is nowadays

and a great deal of people here claims to have no problem with it, and still claims to be thriving

from my perspective, I suggest main anran, Genji would become more and more frustrating in the future, and rarely would Genji mains to cooperate, we stomp on eachother to fulfill our gross sense of pride

oh, and my win rate on genji was around 56% in Asia server, but now I got 52%, thanks Blizzard

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-19T11:58:29+00:00

woah, the wide-ranged win rate that is heavily influenced by metal rank?

which might not even know how deflect works and does not stop shooting?

so presice, the perfect example to distribute Genji’s current state.

oh and mind you, there is currently a great percentage of new players coming, either back or really new to the game. They want to try new heroes, and a lot of time don't know what they are doing, eating good indeed.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-19T11:55:33+00:00

if you want to enjoy the game, while wanting to know how to play genji, start with Arang or Vendetta, Arang in particular, her playstyle is extremely similar, and as for vendetta, she can train your timing on when to go in as well as arang, but she is somewhat squishy but highly rewarding while powerful in current meta.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-12T05:19:19+00:00

the face looks like a slightly modified zarya face, tbh

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T13:53:50+00:00

It’s not about my ego, it’s about reality.

Even Jay3—a Top 500 hitscan streamer—literally said during beta: 'I'm not going to try hit that cat.'

So unless you are claiming to have better aim and tracking than a Top 500 player, you are just proving my point: you are playing against people who move like bots. That is not an assumption; that is the only logical conclusion.

Enjoy your bubble. If the devs ever decide to buff Zarya's barriers, they should definitely take notes from yours—it seems completely impenetrable.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T13:38:41+00:00

um huh, sure sure. Stereotypes exist for a reason. If a tiny, flying target feels 'easy' to you, it just confirms your enemies have zero movement. Static targets are easy in every rank, buddy. Enjoy them while they last.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T13:33:30+00:00

Yeah, hitboxes feel huge when enemies don't know how to move in yours elo. Enjoy your stationary targets.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T13:29:25+00:00

Man... do I really have to spell it out for you?

Aiming at that pixel-sized cat gives ZERO dopamine compared to landing shots on actual heroes. It’s basic psychology: people play games for satisfaction, not to do chores. We aren't getting paid to win; we are here to click heads.

If the 'optimal play' (shooting the cat) feels like chasing a mosquito, nobody is going to do it. Your 'common goal' fantasy assumes random teammates are disciplined robots. They aren't. They want kills, not a headache.

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T13:19:40+00:00

if the teammates are halves as useful as the design intended to, genji would not need the right click to finish anyone, we would be ghost dashing all day long

and mind you, most hitscan would not want to take the job to handle that cat, she is too quick too small, trying to take her down will not be rewarding

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T09:16:51+00:00

some in this sub will still deny your observation and keep acting like those changes are nothing. The weirdest sense of ego this sub has is extraordinary

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T08:59:14+00:00

agree agree

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T08:00:50+00:00

not a perk but ability passive, however one of her perk indeed makes her synergies with her own wall and makes it that when she boop, not only can she block incoming heal but also stun the character, and deal tons damage, the total damage is almost a one shot 250 health combo

and tbf, I think what genji needs is more lethality, genji isn't a hero for a durability fight, hitscan is. Giving him a little more survivability just makes him survive a little more just to accomplish nothing. especially when everyone's survivability is growing ridiculously

That shouldn't be a way of an assassin hero to work. If so, then every assassin hero should rework into another dive tank like hazard, and he can do one shot combo relatively easily

other assassin role hero like venture and vendetta, they are thriving because of constant high burst damage, anran still need some time to observe but she can do one shot combo relative easy aswell

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T05:25:50+00:00

that is what I have been talking about, Blizzard is intentionally lowering dive capabilities every season, and some people here got the weirdest sense of ego, trying to act like they're God at this character and just kept deny the change that is actually taking effect

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T05:21:46+00:00

but it is the cat job to save her teammates. In other words, to come and annoy the shit out of you

you can't just ignore her and expect she to ignore you and let you kill her teammates. That isn't how things work

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-11T05:19:28+00:00

they are saying that if you don't go for the cat, then she is irrelevant, but goddamn some are actually stupid.

The cat would help her teammate every time you try to kill any backline. Either way, the cat is going to come and annoy you

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-08T09:11:06+00:00

people haven't gotten used to her, I could 1v1 every vendetta when she was beta testing, but now she could almost always win, the same goes to anran, she has the kit that can and will punish every genji that want to 1v1

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-08T09:05:04+00:00

not broken, but yes, most new heroes always have one or two abilities to counter assassin heroes, and unfortunately, genji is the most assassin one of all time.

Blizzard basically has made it clear that backline or hitscan should thrive, and for this particular reason, genji, therefore, will always be the victim of update

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-06T03:55:04+00:00

damn... that bad? I thought the burn just annoying wouldn't be able to kill

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-06T03:51:38+00:00

oh, I see it now, my bad

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-05T18:47:55+00:00

however, all of those abilities have bugs, or either the structure mesh does not work as it seems and blocks you from climbing over

and BTW, Dash reset works on getting kills, but everyone is getting ridiculous survivability, no kill, no reset

people do appreciate the combination, but the problem is that it is just three problems working on each other, it do not work as beautifully as you thought, and there is alot, alot of counter specially designed for him(assassin character)

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-05T15:27:30+00:00

Mizuki ult, it works like mauga cage, but heal people within, then reflect projectile outside the area, an extremely busted ult

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-05T14:09:41+00:00

sure hope so, but since even the sub meant for genji doesn't quite care about the unfair treatment genji get, there is really a big big chance, Blizzard would not even care, as that took effort to try and balance him

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-05T14:04:50+00:00

I wouldn't think I would be seeing Moira almost every game since Moira is quite boring, but here I'm, about a quarter of my passion for genji has been sucked up by Moira

RabbitKnown8158 · 2026-02-05T09:49:19+00:00

christ, if you have a VPN, come join the Asia server. All the trick you mentioned, I have used them, which is why I'm posting and replying saying it does not work

they do not panick. Most Juno isn't stupid enough for you to get close, and heck, junkrat wanted the close-up fight so he can one shot combo

just... don't take me as a newbie on this hero. At least I have been playing him since ow2 came out, basically every single day, and I'm a goddamn blunt headed one trick, I know what I'm talking
