One extra think ill add is that most people think they are doing great as genji but only really do damage with his ult. Any top genji should be doing a lot of damage with shurikens in between ults to really maximise this character! -W P.S Thanks for 10,500 subs!! :D
From one Genji main to another: Jump more! Especially during Dragonblade when you're as high priority target as a High Noon but without the benefit of range. Always jump over their heads while slashing downwards.
I believe everyone has been against a good Genji who jumps around constantly. It really makes it infuriating to try and hit them. Once, I played Roadhog against such genji and I never even scratched him AT CLOSE RANGE.
A good RoadHog would destroy an ulting Genji, for two reasons. When Ulting as Genji, there is an animation in which makes you vulnerable to a hook and or shotgun to the face. Secoundly, if calm, you can spot an opening for a hook if such Genji is jumping around you swinging in hopes to kill a tank first, if you miss just carefully aim and predict where he'll be next and shoot. Genji's ult does 120 dmg per swing, so it'd take time to whittle down a tank such as RoadHog, good Genji players will always aim for Supports first, then the rest of the squishies if in the optimal situation. I've got around 21 hours on Gneji, so I know how to both play and counter him really well as I've now started to play RoadHog. While RoadHog does a lot of damage, a good Genji can outplay him, so it's best to not go for a frontal 1v1 situation and try drag/bait him to some other of your team mates. If it's just you, keep calm and think. He's either going to use a dash, which has poor coding + 20 tick servers meaning if he does that Genji can be hooked since you don't move in a dash until it's complete, and being wary of reflect. Once those are gone, he's easy to deal with..
Also since RoadHog's hook has a lower CD than Genji's reflect, a competent player will make good use of his dash to bait you into using a hook which makes you miss. After a waiting off a reflect a good Genji player will know the Hook CD and will wait before your cool down is finished before he dashes in hopes to make you whiff the hook, be smart and not hook immediately after your CD has finished, someone that is knowledgeable of both the enemies DPS and CD's for their abilities are dangerous to deal with.. So in turn, making them predictable.. but then again, since you're a tank you can afford to make a mistake, but making multiple pretty much means the end
Just so people know, the new update makes genji unable to knife and then swift strike so you have to do one or the other, its a shame they removed this but apparently it was an unintended bug :(

what i find helps with sensitivity is you have your mouse in the middle of your pad, aim at a target and move it to the side until you do a full 360 degree turn. If you have to go to far to the edge of your mouse pad then your sensitivity is too low. you could even mark your mouse pad and practice flick shots or 180 degree turns over and over to build up your muscle memory.
tl;dr? - find *your* perfect sensitivity - learn to *right click* at close range and against bigger targets like *tanks* - pick battles and *only* compensate for enemy movement if *necessary!* - choose *your battles* wisely
I went to the shooting range to calibrate my sensitivity, it really helped a lot. Overwatch being my first FPS I would have never thought of this, thanks!
I have watched many Genji guides since I'm trying to become better at using him and yours is the absolute best I've seen yet! Seriously, thanks! Your tips have really made a difference in my game.
in the game play it looked like you were glued to the ground(jump more/take highground)...also your dragonblades were incredible slow paced(More dashing and also don't wait so long for dashing)
A common mistake genji players make is actually jumping too much and slashing too much when it isnt needed. Swift strike is just as much an evading tool as it is to do damage. This game was 15k damage and 45% accuracy in 1 half of payload which is INSANE, not saying it was perfect as youd have 100% accuracy if it was but games like this are exceptional and even watching it back now i couldn't have done a lot more and would stand by most of the decisions i made :) Hope this helped! -W
Painy I wasn't saying you were bad as genji just that a common mistake is people over using his abilities when they dont need to. Also 30% is fairly low for 78 so you must get some good use out of his ult and swift strike :) -W
+Your Overwatch na man the reason is that I spam constantly cuz why not someone might run around the corner. and what I meant with slow paced...you looked at zarya for example (while ulting) and it took you like a second or so to dash to her and when you dash to every target while ulting you are way harder to hit as opposed to just walking
Painy i mean i got 15k damage in 1 half man, died only a few times and did my job of killing the squishies almost flawlessly, not sure what else to say haha. No one plays perfectly all the time, everyone makes bad decisions even in the best of games -W
I used to have something like that, it's actually rather easy to control, but utterly useless with snipers as you cant land a hit once(from my experience)
i used 3500 DPI for almost 5 years now to playing RTS and Dota. In OW tho i used 4.7 sensitivity. I am struggling with characters that needs tracking aim like 76 but for something like Genji, Reaper or Roadhog i am good.
I main genji and you really help me a lot with my accuracy. Let alone giving me new tricks up my sleeves, and most importantly team work. You have my thanks :)
One thing I've noticed is people talk more about sensitivity now, when they used to talk about grip. The low sensitivity crowd is preachier than people joke about vegans being, you will always hear someone telling you that if you're doing more than a 180 degree turn by throwing your mouse down the hallway, your sensitivity is too high. Go with whatever is good for *you*. And higher sensitivity players can still do precise adjustments, which is something that the low sens crowd says you can't, if you use a palm grip on your mouse you can still make precise adjustments, even when it takes less than two inches to do a 360. However, high sens players like to say that the low sens crowd moves too slow, which for the most part is true, but if they go for a fingertip grip they can still do decently fast 180s, even if it takes up their whole mousepad to do so.
"and higher sensitivity players can still do precise adjustments" I mean yeah they can, but the difference between a low sensitivity player doing precise adjustments and a high one is huge
+SkartMan and the difference between a high sensitivity player and a low one doing a 180 to kill a target behind them is huge as well. In the end it depends on preference. Both have positives and negatives.
It really depends on whether or not you are close range, mid range, or long range too. If you are up close the enemies are bigger targets, and move across your screen faster. But at mid range that isn't as true, so you should have a bit lower sensitivity for more accuracy. At long range the targets are small and move slowly across your screen, so have a low sensitivity isn't quite enough anymore, you need something a bit lower than that.
A really good tip Is: When you shoot your shurikens you will be alot more accurate If you stop move your mouse alot but use your movement more as aim, you will hit them alot more
Lord Weagel is this you? Gotta get some games on the go!! Been following you since your insane cod days and had the honor of playing with you on BO2 on PS3!
Just so people now know, latest patch notes have our local ninja Genji no longer able to do his highest burst combo, where as he used to be able to left click mele then shift now he can left click and mele but needs to wait a second or maybe half a second before using his dash. Just so people know this guide is great at principle even if it gets outdated
i am trying to be a genji main cause its one of the best heros in the game and all of these guides may not make me the main but it made me alot better at genji
i used controller for like 15yrs. switched to mouse a couple of weeks ago and my k/d is 3 instead of 2 now. I use 800 dpi and 8 sens ingame. it took about a week to get used too moving the mouse with my arm instead of just using my wrist. seagull says he uses his wrist for small aim corrections and his arm for big changes in directions. it's weird to get used too but if you just go cold turkey with a lower sensitivity it defintely will work out in the end. it took me a week of 5 hours a day to get used to it. approximately
Deffo, I argue with friends who try to change my sensitivity from low to high saying it's to slow and you can't turn or react quickly enough however when they do higher the sensitivity they really ever score more than me with mine being sometimes a third lower .Low sensitivity rules.
Thanks pal, im actually a real genji player who understand his role, im not perfect but always try to focus the right targets :D P.S That McCree got ReKt -W
People who are starting to use Genji, here is a tip. Go to controls, then go to "ALL HEROES" then pick Genji. Then go to crosshair then pick dot. This is a very accurate crosshair.
Just right click and melee at the same time. Works, takes more damage out on them in a shorter amount of time and then follow it up with another melee or swift strike.
Hi, this way may seem like a redundant question that I could probably find out elsewhere but I like your perception of playing genji. I was curious if I'm looking at my sensitivity and my dpi the wrong way playing him. So I use a gaming-type mouse, with some buttons on it for moving incremented/decremented in my DPI On top of that I have a button that is located somewhat conveniently on the side that is the dpi 'shift' which changes to a certain dpi while I'm holding the dpi shift button down on my mouse. So the question is, with a sensitivity setting in Overwatch of 4 (Yes I know, really low) and my DPI setting at 1600 default and the dpi shift at 640 dpi (so if I need to temporarily lower my sensitivity, I can). Do you think I'm approaching this the wrong way? Perhaps I'm overthinking the question entirely and that it's entirely dependent on how it works for the player? Thanks!
Mr. Pulsar That is absolutely fine, i have 6 in game 800 dpi and i main genji in the 4300's. Why would you even want to lower your sens with the button anyways?
I guess for me it's a preferential thing, but thank you for your comparative advice, I'm glad to hear that. I guess I feel like depending on the hero I'm fighting, a different sensitivity might benefit me and depending on range, I will sometimes hold the DPI-Shift button down (the one that only changes your DPI as long as the button is being pressed) but honestly on average, I would say that I do not switch DPI mid game or really at all, and at this point its become more of a very situational tool that I will use if I'm noticing my aiming to be off. It might help me learn to correct projectile speeds with distance.
You can even lower your sens a bit, if you have abig enough mousepad and feel like your aim is off, but dont touch the button mid game, its only going to hurt you in the long run
Thanks for the advice! Honestly though the DPI-Shift, preferentially, works for me but it's not a strategic outlet. I don't plan around having to use my dpi shift but there are times when being able to be more precise rather than just accurate helps. That being said I could see why shifting DPI's would hurt someones ability to aim, so I'm going to be mindful of what you said to see if I suffer from using the dpi-shift.
I play with 800DPI and about 21 sensitivity in-game. I tried to lower than this but it really feels like my cursor isn't moving, and I'm using a deskmat... I think the best advice I got about mouse sensitivity and whatnot is to set it so you can comfortably make a 360 (not too fast but not so slow you'll have to lift the mouse or anything). I practiced some sniping and head shooting and whatnot in a custom game and my best accuracy with any hero is probably with those settings (think I tried 17 or so and went back to 20-22). I used to play at about 30 for that quick acquisition of my target, but went down to 21 and it seemed just about right. I play Genji a lot and have gotten used to his shurikens; I land a lot of them and they're often headshots since I mostly try to aim at head level of whom I'm attacking, especially bigger targets (30% accuracy? Top 17% according to overbuff, lol. McCree's is 44%, top 6%, top 23% crits).
***** I wanna practice with slightly lower sensitivity, but I doubt I can go that low now. I already have a deskmat, but my setup overall feels uncomfortable for me anyway, that's prolly why I don't wanna move the mouse so much but I'll test it out somemore. I actually chose 800dpi 'cause a lot of good players do and it feels manageable. I have a friend that said he plays with 3000dpi.
whenever you have it because you will get it again so quick. Or just look at the scoreboard to see who has ults and give it to them. If you have a genji give it to him when he has ult cause it's OP
I play on xbox and Ive heard raising sensitivity higher and higher every few matches and its helped my aim out a lot. Right now my sensitivitybis at 65 vertical and 55 horizontal and I still raise it every now and then.
Not sure i would say lifting on consoles is all that great, among top players on console they play on pretty low too although for overwatch im sure some characters like genji and reaper probably need a higher sensitivity but those such as widow and mccree probably want lower
One tip in this video is going to be obsolete after the next patch. You'll no longer be able to cancel your melee with a swift strike. In other words, the melee has to finish it's animation before you can swift strike. You also won't be able to double jump after a wall climb, and of course his ultimate will drop from 8sec to 6sec (which is probably the most understandable nerf he's getting). All this because he's being used too much in meta. If a character isn't be used enough in the competitive scene, they buff them. If they're being used too much, they nerf. And that doesn't sit well with me. They dictate their buffs and nerfs based on what a small fraction of people playing the game do. But I get it.
So when should I use left click? Say close range vs squishy? Medium range? Or only long range at what distance. Is it better to left click or right click squishy?
Improve Shuriken Accuracy - Know when to run! I can confirm that, all you have to do is land the first shot in the match and then start running for the end of the game. Since that i have a 100% accuracy ;) Don't take me serious i'm just joking a bit. Nice Channel btw.
4:58 If he would make the 360 he would got the lucio with weeb blade,, dash into Zarya, hit 1 more time, do the right click and melee into left click and get the play of the game, also push for a bit longer, because enemy would need Zarya to regroup and combo they ults to stop the push. Probably.
When talking about knifing, I realised... I can just link melee to MB5 (I have a gaming mouse, so it has extra buttons), and it'll be so much faster and easier than pressing V...
Drag to compensate? DragCompPodcast? also you guys misspelled practice at around the 2:00 mark. I don't think it can be changed now, but just for the future I guess.
Your Overwatch isn't practise the verb, and practice the noun? I'm American so I may be mistaken on when it's used, but I'm pretty sure it's a noun in that sentence
Genji is hella easy to play once you start jumping more. I stay back jump around send shurikens out then swift strike in maybe a melee strike here and there but jump shuriken deflect swift strike is how I'm playing for rn
All these people talking about accuracy but haven't spoken once that if you play genji, you should, no, you must jump a lot as him so you're practically untouchable especially during you're ult because you become quite an easy target when you do it and dash right after ulting to cancel the animation. (or run up a wall either work) and do the same at the end of the ult to cancel the animation. These are some tips that you definitely need to know as a genji main.
3600 and 15. But I'm no good at shooters anyway 😁 only played borderlands really. And in borderlands shooting is everything and aiming is a 2. Priority xD
hey i have some problems with sensitivity. ive watched a lot of videos and they say things like: find whats comfortable, use something thats low, and even some mention templates like if u move ur mouse 10 inches, you rotate this much etc. im actually confused on what my mouse sensitivity should be.. when i have my mouse sensitivity on low, it doesnt feel comfortable but is that something ill just get used to? like in one of ur videos talking about sensitivity (ft. widow) you guys mentioned two sensitivites (for example freedos was low cause he has a huge mousepad). you then say how find whats comfortable. like i dont exactly get what that means? thanks, and just wanted to say your channel is amazing :)
This sensitivity isnt too high and if you are comfortable with it just try dropping in game sens by 1 or so until you get used to that for a few days and so on. Eventually it should become natural :)
Will I have to keep changing mouse setting everytime I change character? I use junkrat and genji the most, so will I need different setting for the two?
I was playing at 1600 or 2000 dpi and 35 sensativity but it was too high. I dropped it down to 2000dpi and 12 sensativity and havent looked back. Hearing that you go even lower is inspiring me to feather down more to try it out... do you know if the ingame numbers scale linearly? Ie, is it just multiplication, like 10 in-game + 1000dpi = 20 in-game + 500 dpi ?? If so, it would definitely make sense to set it at 2000dpi all the time, and lower the in-game sensativity further.
Altering your sensetivity also depends on what game ur actually playing. E.g: In GTA5, you should slightly higher ur sensetivity on PC cuz then you'll have a hard time dealing with flankers sand Turning back when u need to. Btw nice vid m8
Everyone comes into Overwatch trying Genji first and then they fall in love with him like I did, then they find out he is a VERY mobile character, so they jump around prancing and miss every shot, because you need to get aim before all that happens, on another video explains how you can get very good accuracy. By not using a crosshair. get used to not relying on thinking Genji=Soldier and you can hit anyone by having your crosshair on them. Well ya cant. so my tip since I'm a console player that is a Genji main is this: Go into the practice range -> play without a crosshair in the practice range for a while -> go to quick play and practice without a crosshair there, and once you get at least 35% accuracy on your favorite hero without a crosshair, turn the dot crosshair on, get around 50% accuracy, then you can do which crosshair you want and become a Widowmaker main or something idk.
Back in cs go early days i used high sensitivity and i then realized how much easier the game was at a low sensitivity. I personally play overwatch at 1200 dpi at 4.3 in game
I recently lowered my sens for my aim on mccree and widow, but I realized I had gotten significantly worse at genji. Should I change my sens again to compensate, or should I keep on trying to play genji
I would live to play if there are any requirements could you please tell me and I will try work on it and as well is it going to be more quick plays or more competitive?
The Abnormal Penguin We will be playing competitive mainly, rank 55+ will be the requirement and we will need supports and tanks more than anything. Of course we wont force anyone to play that role though haha. Whats you current rank?? :) -W
Hey there! I've got a question! So, I've never played Overwatch, not once. But I made a bet with my younger brother who has at least a little more experience than me. The plan is to play a 1v1, with my brother as Pharah, and little old me as the amazing Genji. I'm not entirely confident I'll win, and it's only $10, but I wouldn't mind a victory here. Any tips for the noob with an ego? Thanks, and by the way, your videos are great! Really precise.
Diggery Dillin Go to custom games and create a game with Hard mode A.I and make the settings to where you can damage the bots easily, but they can't damage you much at all. Practice landing shurikens on targets and your accuracy will get better
How the FUCK did you survive that Rein Ult at 3:52 standing RIGHT next to him!?!? I've been behind him and STILL gotten hit by that before...like waaat the faaack...
I really can't stand to left click even at medium range it is way too inaccurate even if you try to compensate. and if someone knows you are shooting at them? forget about it, a little strafing and you are done. I really like his left click and getting close
i would keep windows at default, then specific mice have their own sensitivities and then the game also has one. So yeah it does get confusing which is why i keep my windows at default :)
One extra think ill add is that most people think they are doing great as genji but only really do damage with his ult. Any top genji should be doing a lot of damage with shurikens in between ults to really maximise this character! -W
P.S Thanks for 10,500 subs!! :D
more genji guides please, and can you add tips for console players as well for those who play genji
Already have a few uploaded and planning on doing some console stuff soon! :)
+Your Overwatch some console stuff? Fantastic! Congrats on 10k guys.
Im Atk yeah console videos soon ish :)
+Your Overwatch thank you :)

+NeoBlue actually the one hit kill hook has a shorter cool down its 6 seconds, and deflect has a 8 second cooldown.
+Matt Petruska Yes, I knew but I got them mixed up, thanks for clarifying:)
Edit: Fixed
For this asking left click is primary fire and right click is fan of blades :) -W
For some reason it is the opposite on console.
+Saskaruto16 i think cuz on console most FPS games have right click as shoot and left click as aim
Your right index finger is always the most important finger. It's the one you always use to shoot, with a mouse or controller.
200th like
Just so people know, the new update makes genji unable to knife and then swift strike so you have to do one or the other, its a shame they removed this but apparently it was an unintended bug :(
blizzard decided animation cancel of abilities mustnt allowed. but you still can shift melee RC
Yes, but apparently all other movement ablities in the game can interrupt melee, except for genjis dash.
+Your Overwatch Sorry, I meant cancel animation not interrupt
Why is that a bad thing? I mean not like the melee ever did much damage
It added a lot of kill confirms that didn't exist without melee. It's basically like hitting a free extra shuriken, which is huge.

tips for genji on console?
+Master Maguku Console tips included in the video would be a good addition, although most tips are interchangeable
Lol Agaist typo
what i find helps with sensitivity is you have your mouse in the middle of your pad, aim at a target and move it to the side until you do a full 360 degree turn. If you have to go to far to the edge of your mouse pad then your sensitivity is too low. you could even mark your mouse pad and practice flick shots or 180 degree turns over and over to build up your muscle memory.

a 1000 DPI with 30 Sens?!??!?! WTF HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN.
I did that for a while I have a really small mousepad
I used to have something like that, it's actually rather easy to control, but utterly useless with snipers as you cant land a hit once(from my experience)
i used 3500 DPI for almost 5 years now to playing RTS and Dota. In OW tho i used 4.7 sensitivity. I am struggling with characters that needs tracking aim like 76 but for something like Genji, Reaper or Roadhog i am good.
BlackJackIs21 try a lower DPI for heroes like 76, Tracer, widowmaker.
Yes, i set it down little by little for those heroes. Thanks Blizzard for the heroes specific settings :D
I main genji and you really help me a lot with my accuracy. Let alone giving me new tricks up my sleeves, and most importantly team work. You have my thanks :)
One thing I've noticed is people talk more about sensitivity now, when they used to talk about grip.

thanks for the video, couldn't help but notice you said you were @ 10k subs at the time of recording. congrats on nearly 750k
04:08 is the most sastisfying kill I've ever seen, great video by the way 👍
Alpha25 which one lol
A really good tip Is: When you shoot your shurikens you will be alot more accurate If you stop move your mouse alot but use your movement more as aim, you will hit them alot more
Also message to all who see this, on console it's reversed, you want your sensitivity to be high.
You're lying. If it takes 30 seconds to turn around that is perfect. Because there's only one direction . ENGAGE!!!
lol
Can u specify wat sensitivity
DownTown Dynamite 80-100
that's what I thought. thanks for confirming
I PLAY ON 100 SENSITIVITY WITH 16,000 DPI.
THAT MAKES ME GOOD RIGHT?
I CAN DO A 360 DEGREE TURN IN HALF A MILLIMETER
If u r looking at how to main genii , THIS IS THE VIDEO!!!! I love ur channel keep up the good work
I really like the written out bulletpoint summary at the end. You should do those at the end of every video
I absolutely love this channel, keep up the good work my dudes
I like your intro music the most by far on this channel!
thanks! that slow motion makes it a lot clearer
Watching this vid in 2019. From 10k subs to nearly 1mil... You guys deserve it.
I main genji like hell. Thanks, all ur genji vids helped me out!
Lord Weagel is this you?
Gotta get some games on the go!!
Been following you since your insane cod days and had the honor of playing with you on BO2 on PS3!
If there is one thing that these genji tips video have taught me, is that I am actually a good genji player! :D
Just so people now know, latest patch notes have our local ninja Genji no longer able to do his highest burst combo, where as he used to be able to left click mele then shift now he can left click and mele but needs to wait a second or maybe half a second before using his dash. Just so people know this guide is great at principle even if it gets outdated
800 dpi, 4.7 in game sens ~ 30 cm for 360 is what i play on.
good to know
i am trying to be a genji main cause its one of the best heros in the game and all of these guides may not make me the main but it made me alot better at genji
I have 43 hours as genji, I love your videos because these are helping me ALOT with playing genji thx
i used controller for like 15yrs. switched to mouse a couple of weeks ago and my k/d is 3 instead of 2 now. I use 800 dpi and 8 sens ingame. it took about a week to get used too moving the mouse with my arm instead of just using my wrist. seagull says he uses his wrist for small aim corrections and his arm for big changes in directions. it's weird to get used too but if you just go cold turkey with a lower sensitivity it defintely will work out in the end. it took me a week of 5 hours a day to get used to it. approximately
Deffo, I argue with friends who try to change my sensitivity from low to high saying it's to slow and you can't turn or react quickly enough however when they do higher the sensitivity they really ever score more than me with mine being sometimes a third lower .Low sensitivity rules.
God damn that play at 4:20. Pretty great guide. Has definetly helped me improve my accuracy. It's a shame they removed the Melee dash combo.
4:11 I applaud you for this ULT. First target if possible should be healers. and then the deflect kill at the end was nice :)
Thanks pal, im actually a real genji player who understand his role, im not perfect but always try to focus the right targets :D
P.S That McCree got ReKt
-W
+Your Overwatch that play was really insane :D
Also find your reticle if needed. I use a green dot cause i can see the green on the dot and were my dot is, is were the middle of my shuriken will go
Great info man! Had no idea and always wondered why I sucked as Genji so much
People who are starting to use Genji, here is a tip. Go to controls, then go to "ALL HEROES" then pick Genji. Then go to crosshair then pick dot. This is a very accurate crosshair.
Isn't that his standard crosshair?
Personally I prefer short crosshair
Just right click and melee at the same time. Works, takes more damage out on them in a shorter amount of time and then follow it up with another melee or swift strike.
Hi, this way may seem like a redundant question that I could probably find out elsewhere but I like your perception of playing genji.
I was curious if I'm looking at my sensitivity and my dpi the wrong way playing him.
So I use a gaming-type mouse, with some buttons on it for moving incremented/decremented in my DPI
On top of that I have a button that is located somewhat conveniently on the side that is the dpi 'shift' which changes to a certain dpi while I'm holding the dpi shift button down on my mouse.
So the question is, with a sensitivity setting in Overwatch of 4 (Yes I know, really low) and my DPI setting at 1600 default and the dpi shift at 640 dpi (so if I need to temporarily lower my sensitivity, I can).
Do you think I'm approaching this the wrong way? Perhaps I'm overthinking the question entirely and that it's entirely dependent on how it works for the player? Thanks!
Mr. Pulsar That is absolutely fine, i have 6 in game 800 dpi and i main genji in the 4300's. Why would you even want to lower your sens with the button anyways?
I guess for me it's a preferential thing, but thank you for your comparative advice, I'm glad to hear that. I guess I feel like depending on the hero I'm fighting, a different sensitivity might benefit me and depending on range, I will sometimes hold the DPI-Shift button down (the one that only changes your DPI as long as the button is being pressed) but honestly on average, I would say that I do not switch DPI mid game or really at all, and at this point its become more of a very situational tool that I will use if I'm noticing my aiming to be off. It might help me learn to correct projectile speeds with distance.
You can even lower your sens a bit, if you have abig enough mousepad and feel like your aim is off, but dont touch the button mid game, its only going to hurt you in the long run
Thanks for the advice!
Honestly though the DPI-Shift, preferentially, works for me but it's not a strategic outlet. I don't plan around having to use my dpi shift but there are times when being able to be more precise rather than just accurate helps.
That being said I could see why shifting DPI's would hurt someones ability to aim, so I'm going to be mindful of what you said to see if I suffer from using the dpi-shift.
I play with 800DPI and about 21 sensitivity in-game. I tried to lower than this but it really feels like my cursor isn't moving, and I'm using a deskmat... I think the best advice I got about mouse sensitivity and whatnot is to set it so you can comfortably make a 360 (not too fast but not so slow you'll have to lift the mouse or anything). I practiced some sniping and head shooting and whatnot in a custom game and my best accuracy with any hero is probably with those settings (think I tried 17 or so and went back to 20-22). I used to play at about 30 for that quick acquisition of my target, but went down to 21 and it seemed just about right.
I play Genji a lot and have gotten used to his shurikens; I land a lot of them and they're often headshots since I mostly try to aim at head level of whom I'm attacking, especially bigger targets (30% accuracy? Top 17% according to overbuff, lol. McCree's is 44%, top 6%, top 23% crits).
***** I wanna practice with slightly lower sensitivity, but I doubt I can go that low now. I already have a deskmat, but my setup overall feels uncomfortable for me anyway, that's prolly why I don't wanna move the mouse so much but I'll test it out somemore. I actually chose 800dpi 'cause a lot of good players do and it feels manageable. I have a friend that said he plays with 3000dpi.
Can you make a video on when to use Ana's nano boost
whenever you have it because you will get it again so quick. Or just look at the scoreboard to see who has ults and give it to them. If you have a genji give it to him when he has ult cause it's OP
This ^
Nano boost Mercy lmao
+It's high noon your worst nightmare XD
Another very helpful and educational vid keep up the great quality
Lol. That guy you killed at 01:03 was on my game yesterday. He's a really funny guy.
Another good tip if anyone is still watching this always fan your shurikens before swift strikes: free extra damage.
I play on xbox and Ive heard raising sensitivity higher and higher every few matches and its helped my aim out a lot. Right now my sensitivitybis at 65 vertical and 55 horizontal and I still raise it every now and then.
Yes, for consoles the oposite is true. Lifting your sensitivity is the way to go, since you will have much more flexibility than they could ever have.
yeah I agree. I currently play in 73v-73h
Not sure i would say lifting on consoles is all that great, among top players on console they play on pretty low too although for overwatch im sure some characters like genji and reaper probably need a higher sensitivity but those such as widow and mccree probably want lower
+Your Overwatch those characters just so happen to be the ones I rarely use lol.
One tip in this video is going to be obsolete after the next patch. You'll no longer be able to cancel your melee with a swift strike. In other words, the melee has to finish it's animation before you can swift strike. You also won't be able to double jump after a wall climb, and of course his ultimate will drop from 8sec to 6sec (which is probably the most understandable nerf he's getting).
All this because he's being used too much in meta. If a character isn't be used enough in the competitive scene, they buff them. If they're being used too much, they nerf. And that doesn't sit well with me. They dictate their buffs and nerfs based on what a small fraction of people playing the game do. But I get it.
So when should I use left click? Say close range vs squishy? Medium range? Or only long range at what distance. Is it better to left click or right click squishy?
you guys make the best vids how do u only have 20k subs
Improve Shuriken Accuracy - Know when to run!
I can confirm that, all you have to do is land the first shot in the match and then start running for the end of the game. Since that i have a 100% accuracy ;)
Don't take me serious i'm just joking a bit. Nice Channel btw.
lol
What about sensitivity on console? I am at 60 and 30 which is double what the default is. playing on default feels very sluggish.
Gomaru Overwatch Highlights I got both on 80 lol
Gomaru Overwatch Highlights And by now you are at 100 100 with 0 aim smoothing, correct?
Great Video it helped a lot keep it up ma'am you earned a new sub!!
Thanks bud!
+Your Overwatch sorry for "ma'am" it's auto correct
Well most be nice to not be affected of the mobility nerf.
good guide but have u unbinded jump and Swift strike?
its amazing how u just like literaly just WALK around (no doble jumping) with genji and dont get killed in must of this clips
These tips help me out thank you so much!!!!!
Im new to playing overwatch on the comperter this is hopefull,thanks
1:52. "PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT" 😂😂😂
4:58 If he would make the 360 he would got the lucio with weeb blade,, dash into Zarya, hit 1 more time, do the right click and melee into left click and get the play of the game, also push for a bit longer, because enemy would need Zarya to regroup and combo they ults to stop the push. Probably.
You had 10k subs In August? Damn. Now you have like 350k fast af boiii.
When talking about knifing, I realised... I can just link melee to MB5 (I have a gaming mouse, so it has extra buttons), and it'll be so much faster and easier than pressing V...
BlackManiaGaming i have it on miyse wheel. when you spin it
BlackManiaGaming *mouse
Drag to compensate? DragCompPodcast? also you guys misspelled practice at around the 2:00 mark. I don't think it can be changed now, but just for the future I guess.
Not a mispell :) -W
Your Overwatch isn't practise the verb, and practice the noun? I'm American so I may be mistaken on when it's used, but I'm pretty sure it's a noun in that sentence
Genji is hella easy to play once you start jumping more. I stay back jump around send shurikens out then swift strike in maybe a melee strike here and there but jump shuriken deflect swift strike is how I'm playing for rn
nice video man keep it going
Thanks bud! Will do!
You missed the fact that you can hold down right or left click instead of clicking repeatedly.
All these people talking about accuracy but haven't spoken once that if you play genji, you should, no, you must jump a lot as him so you're practically untouchable especially during you're ult because you become quite an easy target when you do it and dash right after ulting to cancel the animation. (or run up a wall either work) and do the same at the end of the ult to cancel the animation. These are some tips that you definitely need to know as a genji main.
your*
keep the stupid jumping meta up. Being a pharah main, i thank you.
Linkophere :^)
1000 DPI on THIRTY??? Jesus wtf are these kids using a sticky note for a mousepad? I'm on 1600 DPI and THREE sensitivity.
Ayy whadup DPi brother, i have 1000DPI and 2 ingame
1200 dpi and 6 because my mouspad is too small to take it further down :')
IKR, I'm the same, time to adjust my mouse settings I guess
400 dpi and 4.5 ingame. (I play csgo lol)
3600 and 15. But I'm no good at shooters anyway 😁 only played borderlands really. And in borderlands shooting is everything and aiming is a 2. Priority xD
I use to play a lot of CSGO, and damn it really affects sensitivity on other games. I play on 400 DPI and 7.2 sensitivity in game.
hey i have some problems with sensitivity. ive watched a lot of videos and they say things like: find whats comfortable, use something thats low, and even some mention templates like if u move ur mouse 10 inches, you rotate this much etc. im actually confused on what my mouse sensitivity should be.. when i have my mouse sensitivity on low, it doesnt feel comfortable but is that something ill just get used to? like in one of ur videos talking about sensitivity (ft. widow) you guys mentioned two sensitivites (for example freedos was low cause he has a huge mousepad). you then say how find whats comfortable. like i dont exactly get what that means? thanks, and just wanted to say your channel is amazing :)
if its useful i have 15 in game and 1000 dpi.
This sensitivity isnt too high and if you are comfortable with it just try dropping in game sens by 1 or so until you get used to that for a few days and so on. Eventually it should become natural :)
Will I have to keep changing mouse setting everytime I change character? I use junkrat and genji the most, so will I need different setting for the two?
I was playing at 1600 or 2000 dpi and 35 sensativity but it was too high. I dropped it down to 2000dpi and 12 sensativity and havent looked back. Hearing that you go even lower is inspiring me to feather down more to try it out... do you know if the ingame numbers scale linearly? Ie, is it just multiplication, like 10 in-game + 1000dpi = 20 in-game + 500 dpi ??
If so, it would definitely make sense to set it at 2000dpi all the time, and lower the in-game sensativity further.
Ur vids are SOOOO FUKIN HELPFUL :)
Altering your sensetivity also depends on what game ur actually playing. E.g: In GTA5, you should slightly higher ur sensetivity on PC cuz then you'll have a hard time dealing with flankers sand Turning back when u need to. Btw nice vid m8
Thanks, this helped me soooooo much!
Everyone comes into Overwatch trying Genji first and then they fall in love with him like I did, then they find out he is a VERY mobile character, so they jump around prancing and miss every shot, because you need to get aim before all that happens, on another video explains how you can get very good accuracy. By not using a crosshair. get used to not relying on thinking Genji=Soldier and you can hit anyone by having your crosshair on them. Well ya cant. so my tip since I'm a console player that is a Genji main is this: Go into the practice range -> play without a crosshair in the practice range for a while -> go to quick play and practice without a crosshair there, and once you get at least 35% accuracy on your favorite hero without a crosshair, turn the dot crosshair on, get around 50% accuracy, then you can do which crosshair you want and become a Widowmaker main or something idk.
Bonus tip: use right click 90% of the time ._.
I watched this all ur guides for Genji and ever game I get play play I became a pro Genji
Back in cs go early days i used high sensitivity and i then realized how much easier the game was at a low sensitivity. I personally play overwatch at 1200 dpi at 4.3 in game
i was 2000 dpi 10 sens on cs go before
is right the straight ahuriken throw or the 3 spread one? I play xbox
Could you guys make a Hanzo guide for those who want to play him and actually be valuable to their team? 😁
I recently lowered my sens for my aim on mccree and widow, but I realized I had gotten significantly worse at genji. Should I change my sens again to compensate, or should I keep on trying to play genji
I also have to add, don't use your 2nd fire as a crutch to hit an enemy. I did and my aim didn't improve until I used the 1st fire more
I think this might boost my accuracy to a decent 50%. Thanks.
If you get behind them, just rc 2 times on a 200hp hero then melee then swift strike. I got 63 elims by doing this
You got it!
Great vid but what about sensitivity on console?
What would be good for a dpi of 1600. What would be a good sensitivity for genji.
hey did u say u gonna be streaming with subs if so when and how will it work?
We did do a test stream already but havent announced on this channel yet. We are looking to do it this week (if all goes to plan) so stay tuned! :)
I would live to play if there are any requirements could you please tell me and I will try work on it and as well is it going to be more quick plays or more competitive?
The Abnormal Penguin We will be playing competitive mainly, rank 55+ will be the requirement and we will need supports and tanks more than anything. Of course we wont force anyone to play that role though haha. Whats you current rank?? :) -W
Hey there! I've got a question!
So, I've never played Overwatch, not once. But I made a bet with my younger brother who has at least a little more experience than me.
The plan is to play a 1v1, with my brother as Pharah, and little old me as the amazing Genji.
I'm not entirely confident I'll win, and it's only $10, but I wouldn't mind a victory here.
Any tips for the noob with an ego?
Thanks, and by the way, your videos are great! Really precise.
Diggery Dillin Go to custom games and create a game with Hard mode A.I and make the settings to where you can damage the bots easily, but they can't damage you much at all. Practice landing shurikens on targets and your accuracy will get better
Amini K
Good advice! I'm happy to report, that I actually won the bet! Thank you.
I play on consle and consle sensitivity i diffrent so whicth one should i try
Sickkkk play at 4:10!! Nice bro
Ikr that high noon deflect though
I just want to ask why did the enemy team have 3 supports? They had a mercy,zen,lucio
Omg ive been doing the 3 burst for one on one fights instead of the fan. No wonder i sucked
How the FUCK did you survive that Rein Ult at 3:52 standing RIGHT next to him!?!? I've been behind him and STILL gotten hit by that before...like waaat the faaack...
I'm a level 11, and i feel like if i really try, i can pull off becoming pretty good with genji.
That Lúcio is a goddam ninja master 4:56
Is there a video on how to improv his accuracy for console?
That moment when you deflect a widowmaker shot back into her. This is completely irrelevant but it's so satisfying to headshot her with her own shot.
This video has already made me way better...
Thanks for letting me a pro in genji
Don't bring your sensitivity slowly but instead just dive right onto a lower sensitivity. Our brains are capable of adapting faster than you think.
thx this tutorial change my life
I really can't stand to left click even at medium range it is way too inaccurate even if you try to compensate. and if someone knows you are shooting at them? forget about it, a little strafing and you are done. I really like his left click and getting close
mouse has sensetivity ? so does windows? and overwatch? do all them effect same time when playing overwatch? ^_^
i would keep windows at default, then specific mice have their own sensitivities and then the game also has one. So yeah it does get confusing which is why i keep my windows at default :)
