Any pro Genji tips? I know he's mobile as shit, but I seem to not get as quick of kills as I need for him to be effective. Sure, I dodge and blink behind people, and his stars have good range and decent damage, but things just aren't clicking. I feel like I understand how to be effective with all the other offensive characters except him.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I feel like all the good genji's I've ran into have insane aiming.

Like, headshot from far range on targets like lucio insane.

 

[shoryukens]

Mystery heroes is so much fun. It really should be permanent!

you have to really focus on landing your shuriken while moving more than anything else

go into the training ground and mess around with your sensitivity so you can get a feel for what its like, then try him in some games. the bot games dont really mimic player movement enough for you to get an idea of what aiming against human teammates is like

He is a 3-star character, so the people who stick with him long enough to be good probably develop some sick aim.

as a psych major, I find it amazing how brainless monkey teams somehow turn into professional Overwatch players as soon as Overtime starts.

 

[xezuru]

I sacrificed my wrist by playing soldier, rewarded by the 1337 CoD Gods Kreygasm.

 

[patchday]

Man, everyone is SO much happier in the random hero mode. It's like people decided to have some fun.

I love mystery heroes this is so true

 

[nbraun80]

Finally popped some legendaries!

Two emotes :|

Sure they were legendary? pretty sure all legendaries are all skins at this point. Epic's(purple) can be emotes.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I'm level 35 and have seven legendary skins (and no money spent), all for characters I use.

Woot, woot.

sometimes. i ran on a team where we went OT and they just decide to go TDM instead.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

People on Xbox One just now seem to be figuring out that the way to be a successful Pharah player is to stay way up in the air as much as possible. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be enough decent Widowmakers (myself included) to counter good Pharahs effectively.

Oh well. I know I'd be getting destroyed even worse if I picked it up on PC - I'm thinking I made the right choice for my playstyle and lack of KB/M skills.

FYI, if you join a group, you will be part of it in the next match. No need to leave and reform groups.

Lucky. I'm level 18 and not a single legendary.

Yeah I actually didn't realize this until a couple days into the game. Very important for group leaders to know.

At 31 hours, I'm really enjoying the game.

My breakdown is probably like 50% solo, 30% with one friend, and 20% with a party of 3 or 4.

But I gotta say, long term, I think it will be the random players that force me to turn away. I really do love everything about this game, but just the list of things pissing me off is growing each time I play, and it's almost always because of the team.

- I don't think I've ever started a game without at least one sniper on the team, regardless of map or mode.

- Teammates selecting a SECOND sniper when we already have one

- No one ever seems to pick a healer. I play support 90% of the time when no one else will... but some nights I'll start with "I'm just gonna play who I want" and I'll play 8 games in a row without a healer. It's absurd.

- IF A BASTION IS ON THE OTHER TEAM, that should be PRIORITY ONE, Genji. Jeez.

- Why stay on the payload? Why stay on the point? I swear, nobody gives a shit about the objective unless it's overtime.

etc, etc.

Sorry... I know I'm ranting. But I just had a blast playing with my friend for the last four hours. But I can tell I'm getting better. I'm not great. Neither is he. But we're good. We're competent. We understand and respect the principles of the game. But holy shit, every single other person seems to treat the game like TDM. Makes me sad.

EDIT: Also, since OT3 went up, I've bought 11 boxes and earned four or five. Holy shit, like almost all of them are truly white, white, blue, white. Every time. Without fail.

In 34 levels or so, I have gotten ONE legendary...and I bought one other with coins.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Thanks for the gaf game. I started well and faded, so, will get them next time.

 

[BlackGhost]

Woot, woot.

Sounds like black magic.

 

[Warewolf]

Just experienced my first genuine Widow Shutdown.

If you're out there Rink you are a fucking savage. I don't think I was killed by anyone else that game and I kept changing up who I was playing to try something more survivable. Game over right from the beginning.

Bravo.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Mmm, been upping my mei game recently by being more liberal with her icicle at far away distances. It doesn't do the same damage as Hanzo's, but its hitbox is just about as stupidly huge, plus it doesn't have much of a damage fall off does it? I feel like I've constantly outranged hanzos. Watching seagull's mei really inspired me to get good with her icicle.

I feel like I'm getting more long distance headshots than i should and I'm terrible at fps.

I've definitely harassed some widows with it, which is great for mei because she can self heal. :3

She is so much fun.

 

[Apathy]

really hope they turn the volume up on widows ult, it's annoying everyone else i can hear on the opposite side of 2 maps away but with widow shes so quiet, it's completely unfair

 

[Trail Guide]

Four days in a row I've been matched into a game with less than 10 seconds remaining and ends in defeat. Looking back over the last few pages I'm wondering if this has to do with the 50/50 thing? I can't understand why else it would send me into a match with no chance of doing anything.

Those don't count towards your w/l.

 

[Speely]

Homies... if you haven't tried Mystery Hero, do it now. It's just good clean fun. Most fun I have had with the game since release.

Gone are the disputes about who chooses what hero. No one expects to win. It's just a pure rumble that celebrates the diversity of the heroes and the way players use them.

Wow, asshole McCree player kept killing me and ignoring my teammates. I was on fire and he had to put it out.

Barely an hour into the game and I am noticing these horrible, selfish, uncoordinated habits of picking showoff/fun-to-use/offensive characters or a damn sniper. Also, the said snipers tend to get into ego-showdowns instead of playing properly and countering (or counter-picking). Speaking of the later, I barely see counter-picks.

Apparently, no one wants to be an effective healer (yes not support) or a tank when we need them the most. Otherwise the game is really great with friends and organized teams who have standardized ways of playing (in before fuck your meta and let us have fun).

 

[Satch]

did you guys know the pig guy can hook junkrats tire

 

[kagamin]

Roadhog can indeed do that.

were u on mei

its mccrees solemn duty to shit on all meis

 

[Pastry]

Just so tired of awful pickup groups. I'm like 3-20 today. If matchmaking in ranked isn't better then I'm done with the game I think.

 

[Kinsei]

did you guys know the pig guy can hook junkrats tire

Yeah. He can also hook D. Va's mech before it blows up potentially saving teammates. He can also cancel Reaper and Pharah's ults with it.

 

[Satch]

wwtf i am terrible with roadhog, our mercy was pocketing me and i was missing every hook

im embarrassed

 

[Apathy]

I've seen ilios once today and numbani like 6 times. If they won't give us playlist they least they could do is keep track of what maps we already played and avoid those for others so we get a full or almost full rotation before we have to see shitty maps again

 

[BashNasty]

What makes you dislike it, exactly. I find that it's a lot of fun to have everyone playing random heroes leading to some crazy team comps. It makes kills worth more, too.

Holy shit... this.

I can't count the number of times I've noticed our sniper is focusing entirely on the enemy sniper. Don't get me wrong - I want the enemy Widow or Hanzo taken out. Absolutely. But there are times I'm confident our sniper got less than five or six kills on other players the entire game. Infuriating.

I dont like modes that mess with the established rules of games. I didnt like brawl in hearthstone either. Or shit like SF2 rainbow edition.

It feels completely meaningless to me.

I was Soldier

 

[ncslamm]

Anybody getting lag spikes tonight? I've been playing since release completely lag free but every match tonight my ping and RTT are spiking like crazy. Practically unplayable.

 

[Dead Prince]

LOL i know. sometimes mercy attack boost me and i'm like OMG stop. i can't aim for shit

yeah I much prefer the KotH maps, just seems a bit more balanced and not such a grind of attacking into points for 6 minutes, but it's rare getting those.

I played him most of last week and still feel useless/noob.

He's really good at deflecting Bastion but if you fuck up you're dead.

I guess my tip is to play like a ninja, climb walls and attack where people don't expect. If you can't kill them you shouldn't pursue. Roadhog and tanks are hard to kill off, you should pick your targets wisely.

Also use your double jump to get around.

 

[toastyToast]

Yeah. He can also hook D. Va's mech before it blows up potentially saving teammates. He can also cancel Reaper and Pharah's ults with it.

Do they get neutralised or blow up in his face? I would have assumed the latter

 

[Moonkeis]

Mystery Hero should be standard mode, I'm really enjoying it as well.

Dashing through a clumped enemy team can provide nice damage and confusion. Remember that your dash resets with every elimination. Dont miss shurikens.
Also a technique I've been using in close range... throw your shurikens and follow up with a melee. It can be faster than waiting for him to load the next set.

 

[Papercuts]

It cancels the ult completely.

Interesting. I suppose I can see how one could feel that way, but I actually feel the exact opposite. I think it's really fun to mess with established rules and enjoy the chaos that ensues.

 

[Satch]

i just had to get on my mic and apologize so much, i feel terrible

she got killed like three times because i missed my hook on the person attacking her

 

[Sora_N]

Do I just suck or is Route 66 bad for Winston? Just wondering since I basically felt useless there and kept dying, so switched to Soldier and did some good work. We still lost though.

 

[Tidalwave]

Not D. Vas. It still explodes.
