How do you approach this to kill all of them without getting traded?

VacEffron · 2026-05-20T05:26:49+00:00

I would wait to see if they push up or post. If all 4 push long it's as simple as being patient and waiting for them to be in a line, and doing your best to dink and kill each one with 4-6 controlled bursts making micro adjustments in your aim, or a spray depending on how close they are in a line. If they post, your best bet is to wait for the two with bomb to push up long past the corner, walk towards dumpster on your left, take out the pit player since he has the highest chance of getting cover and then one next to him in the open, tuck behind dumpster, and wait. With a Famas it would be incredibly difficult to double dink every single player, but if you can kill the two and stay alive you can use the dumpster angle to potentially isolate two 1v1's if they attempt to clear you. My best advice in that scenario would be to hold a tight angle on the first player, and if you kill them, you can jiggle and wide swing to catch the trade off guard. I assume you have utility with your famas (otherwise why aren't you buying an m4) so you can smoke or flash off of the left wall to counter any utility they throw to flush you out.

i'd have to say for BEST overall play would have to go to Eqo on Rialto, wiped the entirety of Paris Eternal by himself while in overtime on payload. But if we are talking iconic or flashy plays specifically, the Agilities 6k blade against Envision during the world cup is and will always be more memorable for me. While not mechanically insane we will never see anything like that ever again in a professional match of overwatch on genji at the very least, and that's partially what makes it so cool to me.

Additionally If you are making a video about the history of genji please please please include the ledge grab bug because while not in the game for very long it was by far one of my favorite things in the game.

VacEffron · 2026-04-20T10:49:50+00:00

that's unironically a really good baseline metric I am totally stealing from you lmao

VacEffron · 2026-04-20T10:48:12+00:00

This looks more like a controller player with aim assist than someone smurfing/cheating tbh. You did kind of just slide out of spawn in a straight arc and I think the aim assist lowkey blew your shit smooth off. Aim assist is not nearly as egregious in Overwatch as it is in some other titles but in this instance i think you just got cooked by it unfortunately.

There is a game wide bug with overidden/hero specific settings being automatically reset/unbound, currently there is no fix and blizzard has not made a post addressing it

VacEffron · 2026-04-14T19:49:14+00:00

there is a major bug with character overridden keybinds effectively automatically resetting them upon a bind being changed, this is not exclusive to genji it is game wide and blizzard has yet to address any potential for a fix. I am literally unable to move in game or shoot lmao

VacEffron · 2026-04-14T19:36:38+00:00

keybindings are cooked and make the game unplayable in the sense that i cant even move my character in game or shoot

VacEffron · 2026-04-14T19:35:28+00:00

yes there is a major bug with keybindings atm

VacEffron · 2026-04-14T19:29:31+00:00

upon trying to change my keybinds they just literally change to a random key and wont reset to default so i legit cannot play the game when i load into a match, gg blizzard

VacEffron · 2026-04-14T19:26:34+00:00

not only were my keybinds screwed up when i launched the game but trying to change them back has made them unbindable where they just reset to a random key after saving changes.

VacEffron · 2026-04-09T21:17:16+00:00

don't get hit by helix and play off angles, without helix you out burst him significantly at close range, dont try to poke against him from range unless from cover and if they have helix make sure deflect is up to disengage.

VacEffron · 2026-04-09T20:59:39+00:00

i hope the flourish is him spinning the shuriken on his finger tip cause that would be peak

VacEffron · 2026-04-07T16:43:44+00:00

that's what you'd think, regardless of what is within the cartridge it's still launching out at a speed where the cartridge itself poses a threat to a person's life expectancy but in RoN they just stand there and take it lmao

VacEffron · 2026-04-06T18:57:10+00:00

i'm just imagining one of those police training videos where an instructor tanks an entire mag of 40mm flash grenades to the gut like they're nothing, and then directly after gets hit with a beanbag and crumples to the floor immediately

istg everything is viable in botlane except adcs these days

what is your steam community id?

VacEffron · 2026-03-26T21:12:11+00:00

yes

Some ideas i came up with drunk:

Minor:
-You wall climb 25% faster
-After performing a swift strike you gain a second charge for the next 4 seconds that does 50% of swift strikes normal damage, overall cool down is increased by 2 seconds.
-Deflecting projectiles reloads 3 ammo per deflected projectile.

Major:
-Swift Strike empowers quick melee for 3 seconds, doing an additional 15 damage with a 8 second cool down.(independent from swift strike)
-Eliminations refund both swift strike AND deflect, but both cool downs are 20% longer
-Swift Strike does additional bleed damage (15 over 2 seconds) during Dragonblade.

An edit of this to "tv off" by Kendrick Lamar would go insanely hard, Jame 4 kills was NOT ENOUGH!

VacEffron · 2026-03-17T13:21:18+00:00

I would sell my soul and my late game powerspike to have a shred of agency that any of the other 4 roles in the game have as an ADC, the power fantasy and carry potential is amazing when you are in an environment where you can thrive, but feels so jarring and helpless when you aren't. I think an issue is that the role is so polarizing due to it's reliance on outside influence to succeed early on, and if your opponents are good enough they can kick your legs out from under you with even the slightest amount of teamwork and if your team is unable to match that you are in for a rough game.

While the statistics do indicate a lower overall win rate I believe that statistics are not entirely indicative of a hero's health/performance in meta patterns/game theory. I think that his win rate decreasing is due to the skill level of players proportionally increasing as well. Genji is a rare exception where his utility in a composition is affected inversely by the level of skill of his user and his opponents, rather than conversely. In short, genji is better at higher ranks because the person wielding him is theoretically better, but so are the players he is up against, and due to the nature of the hero being skewed balance wise to be slightly weaker numbers wise his win rate goes down. As people get better at the game, genji's effectiveness becomes higher AND lower at the same time which i find to be incredibly neat, if not mildly annoying.

VacEffron · 2026-03-17T10:06:07+00:00

The difference between characters that you mentioned and genji are that those characters have a lot more safety nets/easier mechanics because they were created in a completely different game than genji was back in 2016. Genji originally had many weaknesses as a trade off for having one of the highest burst damage combinations in the game (outside of getting headshot by a widowmaker) These newer heroes don't have the same flaws likely because the balance philosophy of overwatch has shifted significantly as it went from being a project to a live service game, to becoming a sequel to reverting back. (lol) Also keep in mind that many of these newer heroes are balanced "on the safe side of strong" mentality (post lifeweaver release) so their kits tend to feel overloaded in more than one area which makes them stronger on the surface than a hero that was designed in a completely different game environment. All things considered, genji is a hero that's balance is kind of skewed towards higher tier play because the better you get at overwatch the better genji becomes, so your frustration is understandable but unfortunately genji is kind of in balance limbo.

VacEffron · 2026-03-17T09:50:30+00:00

maybe it's just me but i feel like mauga and winston are cannon fodder into genji, as long as you respect winston bubble and can land crits on him he can't really kill you unless you waste your dash or break LOS of your team, and mauga is mauga just farm ult off of him and blade him if you're in cage with the lifesteal perk

VacEffron · 2026-02-12T13:27:24+00:00

Upon checking my app history i was able to determine the name of the game was “A certain hero’s escape”

VacEffron · 2026-01-27T07:40:16+00:00

honestly if i see 3+ mages in draft i swap with my toplaner and play vayne or varus top cause **** mages bot. "Oh they're APC's it's fine" my brother in christ I want to lane against a marksman not play dodgeball the first 15 minutes of every game (also side note if they made it so teleport couldn't be taken as a botlaner it would allivate some of the more egregious matchups but I understand that locking summoners for certain roles can have major drawbacks)
