why is genji the only character in this game that takes an ounce of skill. It's like he doesn't even belong in the game
This is now a skillrat thread
>>341792110
he's the tryhard weeaboo character
i know because i main bastion and usually instantly carry the team as soon as I switch, but I never feel like playing bastion because most of the time we'll just roll the other team.
i play genji until we're almost losing then switch to bast, then we start winning again, i go on fire, etc. also sometimes i'll steal potg playing the entire match as genji and then switch to bast last minute.
You mean jump out from behind corners to Deflect, then spam Shurikens, repeat? A lot of Overwatch characters have abilities that work a little too well, but I'd never classify Genji as a skill based one.

Genji takes a lot more effort to be good with and has no single button instakills. Its a shame he gets countered quite badly. I can get winning games with no medals just by harrassing but the gold medal games are where its at.

you try doing half the shit a good lucio can do like in >>341793012 shit I was playing a game earlier on Ilois well and got knocked into the pit while flash banged and could still get out the well with good wall riding.
>>341793268
Tracer has 150 hp and just flash takes her health down to 125. Did he miss every shot?
>>341792859
>Fan isn't an instant kill
Fan combo still kills everyone but Winston, Roadhog, D. Va, and Reinhardt.
>>341793283

to be fair if you're playing bastion and Genji gets on you, unless they're terrible you won't be able to kill them with your limited movement.yes on the pcI kill literally every single Bastion that knows how to shot shooting when I e
>>341792859
Are you retarded? Flashbang-> fan -> roll -> fan.
Still OP as fuck even against tanks
>>341793012
Shit I gotta learn how to move like this.
My "GO FAST" boner was filled with Tracer but I want to be able to do shit like this
>>341793510
Rebind jump to L2 and his knockback to X
>>341793452
These shitty McCrees will only hit a few times or their reaction time is so bad that I can Rewind or Blink.

>>341793631
>Having a hard time on pc
wut mate how?
>>341793556
i love when they see you coming and don't shoot, waiting for the e, but i'm throwing stars at them the whole time
>>341793395
>>341793139
bastion isn't even a good character
seriously when i play genji i kill bastions so easily. even as non-bastion counter characters it's easy. all you have to do is flank him or just target him first but everybody who plays this game is shit.
the main reason i main bastion is because of faggots like you powering him with salt.
>>341793556
yeah the main problem is again, people don't know how to play bastion.
literally all you do against genji is fire one test shot, if he deflects it you stop, if he doesn't you keep shooting. and if he deflects, you literally wait 2 seconds and then start killing him. the shurikens don't kill bast fast enough.
seriously why am I the only person on /v/ who's good at this game?
>>341793579
>reaction time
>on flash and fan
Do you even know how reaction time works?
Kill yourself moron.
>>341792110
He is one of the few characters without a hit scan weapon. That alone makes him harder to play than almost any other character in the game.
>>341793435
It's not hard, you just have to keep the wallride all the way up.
>>341793697
I just don't get how to jump on the same wall and continue wall riding without falling. Like you know, jumping to gain higher elevation on the wall? I hold space but it doesn't continue the wallride.
>>341793853
Tap for the life of you and sometimes you gotta use speed boost to keep the speed and height going
>>341793790
Do you?

>>341793012
>mfw a SA player actually kicks serious ass at something
>>341793853
you can't wallride twice on the same surface unless it curves, because a different angle kinda counts as a different wall, if that makes sense
I mainly play on PC, but bought it on PS4 because some friends of mine wanted to play together.
How in the everliving fuck are you supposed to aim on this fucking thing?
>>341793790
>act like a moron
>tell someone else to kill themselves
Sasuga, anon :^)
>>341793967
I do use the speed boost.
>>341794074
Okay that makes more sense. I thought I was just doing it wrong.
>>341794119
You don't. The snipers on consoles are overpowered compared to PC because it's impossible to aim correctly.
>>341793815
and all phara does is have to shoot a rocket near here. We can all make simplification like this and I am not even that faggot.
>>341794262
>Snipers are overpowered because people can't aim
Nigger wut
>>341793570
Is it really that much easier?
>>341794160
Not an argument.
>>341794650
You can actually move the camera and aim while wall riding with both analog sticks now and shoot if you do that.
>>341793238
only if you are going to be my healslut
>>341794558
They're balanced differently on consoles than on PC. Both have their own numbers.
>>341794830
why are you so autistic
>>341794423
Because he took a specific situation when I was speaking about a character as a whole.
>>341794074
If you can't gain elevation on the same wall how do you wallride back up the well on Ilios? I've heard it's possible
>>341795027
That video shows more then one fucking situation son.
>>341794943
They do the same damage on both, or are you talking about reticle magnetism?
>>341792276
Bastion is the most fun to play as.
>>341795292
How did he have two bear traps down?
>>341794746
Do you rebind it for all characters then? I feel like that would fuck me up otherwise if I were to switch between characters mid game
>>341795292
Hole in one!
>>341795110
I was talking about the Ilios hole example, are you stupid or what?

>>341795354
You can select to rebind it for just one character at the top of the control screen. I changed almost every character to have their own cross hair and sensitivity the only peoples buttons I changed like that were him and Phara both to L2 and just them.
>>341792110
>implying
he's the Rogue of Overwatch
most Genjis just run into enemy and die until they get their ult, then they kill 3 people and whine about their own teammates
>>341795072
the game doesn't go by each surface, it goes by angle. the well is circle you can just keep holing space and when the duration ends another ride will start
Found out today that hitting shields with phara's rockets count as a direct hit. My 50% overall accuracy means a whole lot less to me now.
>>341793012

>>341795534
Is there a difference between Phara's standard LT vs A (on xbox)? I use those two pretty interchangeably
>>341795969
I just find it easier to fly and aim with it being on LT in xbones case

>>341795890
Right? He's super fucking good, his only fault being that he has no escape moves with his low HP. But even then, you can just stay back.
>>341796086
That's how I feel most of the time while playing Genji, then at the clutch moment of a match I end up being the main contributor to the final victorious attack and sorta feel like it was okay to be useless until then.
>>341796217
So wait, do you have to continue holding the button once the wallride is initiated? That's where I have trouble.
No Mercy? Flying all over the place and healing is so much fun. Personal best was 10.2k healing against a full team of Genjis. Was both retarded and hilarious.
>>341796576
yes
>>341796851
Awesome. Thanks for sharing the vid, I've learned a lot.
I'm gonna hate that game.
I hated LoL/Dota because I always wanted to be the team player and most of the time I played support and were bored to tears, and it start to be the same in that game.
>>341796576
yeah it stops when you let go, which is why wall jumping works the way it does. There's a small window after a wallride ends for you to press space
this is all best figured out by dicking around with him on your own

zenyatta doesnt really take skill, he is just underpowered as fuck. big difference.
the character itself doesnt even lend itself to a high skill cap: he's slow as fuck and all you can do is left click or optionally right click and try to anticipate enemy movement.
>>341797064
>gonna
it's been out for little while now
also people are pretty good when it comes to picking support. i get to play genji most games, but i'll only occasionally go lucio and i don't mind because lucio's fun
>>341795558
as genji main this genuinely made me laugh because it's true.
>>341797064
You can be a battle-medic at least, instead of someone's personal healthpack.
I just hope they buff Zenyatta.

>>341792470
If you have to switch to bation from genji just to win, you probably suck at the game.
>>341798179
Healing isn't as easy as it looks.
But yeah pocket healers are shitters.
>>341798341

lel
>>341798503
Mercy is maybe my second most played character.
Healing is very much as easy as it looks. The only skill involves is making sure there's a teammate between you and your enemy at all times.

>>341797298
Zen + Soldier is a surprisingly effective combination.
But then again what do you expect of the two best characters in the game.
Can't beat Lucio + Zen though, harmony orb makes up for Lucio's lack of spot healing, speed lets Zen survive easier and discord orb doesn't need to be explained.
>>341792110
How do people play Bastion without killing themselves? It's so fucking boring just sitting in one spot gunning down retards who run into your face.
Even Toblerone requires more skill to play.
>>341793853
>>341796217
If you bind jump to the mouse wheel you can jump infinitely often on one wall as long as you get the timing right.
It also works for Genji and Hanzo.
>>341799031
And one is much more effective than the other.

>>341800082
>and the fact that he can one shot squishys by comboing it into melee -> Swift Strike
They specifically nerfed him in beta for "Being too strong" so he COULDN'T do that specific combo anymore now hes just mediocre.
>>341799921
I mostly play Zenyatta and I have the most fun when I have to defend myself from Genji's and Tracers.
Shit's tense.
Make way for the most fun Tank in the game.
>>341800369
Why is that in quotation marks? You are lucky you weren't around for the zen + 2 genji combo in every high tier match.
Genji is completely fine btw. He is picked a nice amount in comp and under the hands of a skilled player he is devastating.
>>341800341
Widow has literally the highest skill ceiling in the game though.
A bad Widow is the most useless player on the team and a top Widow player can carry a game by himself.
>>341800539
That's not Zarya.
>>341800705
Not after the nerf, can be easily countered by Winston.
>>341800539
It's a tie between him and Zarya for me, though I like all the tanks. Winston damage and range is trash though.
Just bought this game what am I in for?
>>341800369
Genjis damage was nerfed.
The combo still works and still one shots 200hp heroes if you land a headshot.
>>341800857
Fun for a week then boredom
>>341800341
I play Junkrat the most, he's not hard to pick up at all. Just lay traps effectively, counter shift bastions with concussion mine, and git gud at aiming the noob tube. All there is to it
>>341800857
If you have friends.
Fun
I cant stand playing without at least 2-3 other friends.
>>341800341
What a horrible, sad little list, dont you even get tired of being wrong?
>>341800341
>junkrat

>>341800857
Hanzos.
>>341800857

>>341800539
Well, there's only two true tanks. Roadhog can heal through some damage, but he has no tank abilities. And DVa isn't much of one.
>>341800741
And Zarya is fucking boring as hell. In between her shitty gun that has zero visceral impact and the fact that both her abilities are just raising an invisible number, there's a reason why she's one of the least popular characters. That and her skins are horrifically ugly.
>>341800943
Pretty much, great game if you have a party of 3-6, frustrating if you play solo.
>>341800497
I just kick Genjis to death since they'll ALWAYS burn reflect early.
Tracer is a whole other story.
>Genji
>skill
Sorry, not as long as he has Reflect
>>341800820
Even after the nerf there still isn't a hero in the game that can carry harder than her.
Anyone who has ever played against a really good widow knows what I'm talking about.
She can literally stop any push in its tracks and can destroy even the most disgusting defense lineup.
If the enemy team doesn't have a decent widow themselves and there is no one who can contest her at long range she can literally kill an entire team in about 10 seconds.
>>341800341
>Junkrat
>harder to play than Pharah
LOL
>>341801020
Is this supposed to be impressive?
We need a Batman hero.
His ultimate: plot armor, the most devastating power of them all; the game devs decide that his prep time makes him predict all bullet trajectory and speeds and what the enemy will do at all times.
>>341795292
>Morir, morir, moriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-!!!
Junkrat actually is the highest skill ceiling hero. Bomb jumping around, landing direct primary bomb hits (hitting airborne targets) takes way more skill and you're rewarded for it. Junkrat is the best character in the game and most balanced.
Genji's actually isn't that high at all. Genji would be the highest if he had 150HP and could run 50% faster, but he's so slow in this game that his playstyle amounts to flanking, pressing E, spamming right-click at close range, and killing characters that aren't moving with left-click headshots. I truly wish he was like Overwatch's Scout with low health and enough burst to effectively kill people whom you sneak up on. Hell, even Tracer fucking sucks at this. Genji and Tracer are mostly just "distractions," whereas Scout is a killing machine.
>>341800341
Tracer and Junkrat are some of the easiest characters to play in the game.
>>341793012
At they said TF2 scout took more skill.
Here we are again /v/. Always twisting the truth. TF2 will never be as good as Overwatch, not even close.
Things /v/ lied about:
>overwatch takes no skill
>overwatch has a low skill ceiling
>all you do to win is press Q xDDD
>overwatch movement is slow and sucks unlike muh rocket jumping.
get a fucking grip /v/. you're like toddlers.
>>341793012
what a shit lucio
please assist your team ass hat
>>341801305
While I agree to a point, shes still fairly easy to counter if you get a decent flanking char behind enemy lines.
I kinda wonder how big the nerf is for really good widows though. I've gone against one godly Widow only once. I'm not talkin about widows who just can aim really well, no this widow was a fucking machine. She'd snipe people, then use her grapple to instantly change to a different spot if they survived the first shot just so she could snipe them again.
You have not seen a terrifying widow until you find one that will fucking chase you down and can land every damn shot.
>>341793012
>It's Jet Set Radioooooo!
>>341801020
That's some pretty weak Garbagemouse. That's pretty mediocre for any hero, really.
>>341799174
>Lucio + Zen
This is true Nirvana.
>>341801629
Pharah feels awful if you played tf2 soldier a lot though. She has very little control on her speed and horizontal movement in the air. I hope we get a real flying hero.
>>341801484
Tracer can actually do a lot of damage with headshots. Her body shot damage is kinda ass though.
I imagine the same can be said of Genji, but he requires far more mobility. Genji really is a much slower but kinda more annoying in some ways version of the scout, cause you're constantly suppose to be in the air one way or another.
>>341802146
Just so we're clear, you do know you can rocket jump with Pharah right? Like actually rocket jump.
>>341802431
I know but its feels sluggish if played tf2 soldier a lot.
>She has very little control on her speed and horizontal movement in the air
What part of that don't you understand?
>>341801020
>9k damage

How does it feel to be literal trash
>>341800539
That aint Roadhog, nigga.
>>341799189
I always move around a lot with bastion. People tend to spam rockets/grenades at me when I kill them as bastion so I try to surprise them each time. Changing configurations reloads for me too so there's a plus.
>>341802658
I'm asking cause I'm pretty sure you can use similar techniques if you rocket jump with actual rockets. I.E. Shoot something to change your direction.
>>341802998
There is no real air strafing in Overwatch so no you can't.

Wall riding as lucio is the greatest and learning that curved surfaces are treated as

I have only played 12 games with him but damn he is fun.
>>341801020
Went against a junkrat like four or five games ago that did 30k damage before the game ended
It was on King's Row,and everyone on my team was Reinhardt.
>>341802998
>>341803198
Whenever I play Pharah she feels really slow and not very maneuverable while in the air.
But when I see some pros play her they manage to jump into the enemy team with insane speed grab a kill or 2 and are out of danger before the enemy team can react.
I have no Idea how they do it though. Maybe it's the combination of a well timed Lucio speed boost and Pharahs "E".
>>341793012
Is there a way to go to stages without other players so I can practice stuff like this?
>>341803474
Yeah, I always skirt along the top of the inside of it and mash E for constant heals
The only thing that sucks is that the walls of the well really fuck up the range on your auras.
>>341803694
Custom game, just select the map and don't add any AI.
>>341803694
You can create a custom game.
It pretty useful to remove ability cds.
>why is genji the only character in this game that takes an ounce of skill
HA
HA HA HA
All you do is spam double jump, E and Shift. He's actually the most braindead character. Anybody who actually thinks Genji take any resemblance of skill is actually mentally challenged.
Kill yourself.
>>341803687
Air strafing is being able to constantly change your direction while in the air. Pharah can't do that because the engine that Blizzard uses does not allow that. Moreover Pharah cannot slow down or fasten her speed WHILE in the air.
>>341803687
There is that option, but they also use both pharah's main attack and her knockback missle for mobility ontop of her rocket jump skill.
The kills are probably just hours of practice and a combination of something like Widow's ult.
>>341803601
>15k damage
Now we're talking
Yea he's pretty good. I started out with him and moved onto other classes, but when I don't need to carry my team as tank or healer I default to him for a bit of fun

>>341804051
Just to give you an example: Pharah can't do a 180 degrees directional change like pic related while Soldier can. I simply want a hero that has a lot of control in the air.

>>341804765
That's because she would be OP as fuck.
>>341804976
Well, actually the main reason is that Blizzard's engine has restriction. She is not very fun is all I am saying. Oh and I am not trying to bash Overwatch; I actually like a few heroes but Pharah is not one of them.

Look at this for example (25m38s if the timestamp doesn't work)
I get what's happening here but it seems way faster than when I try to do something similar.
>>341804051
I love Pharah and the best trick you can do for this is shoot a wall with your push thing, it blows you a crazy distance away.
>>341805345
it's phenomenal for flanking with her q since it doesn't make any noise

The engine restricts movement, in a game with Genji, Tracer, Junkrat, Winston etc? Sounds like something you pulled from your ass.
>>341805597
Not only that but an engine is just code like any other part of the game and can be changed.
And you can say what you want about Blizzard but they are not Bethesda and this sounds really untypical for them.
>>341805597
I was talking in regards to air strafing. Read the post I was replying too before taking things out of context.
>>341792110
The only character that don't take an ounce of skill are Torbjorn and McCree
>>341805859
Wacky air physics is unique to source engine.
>>341806004
McCree kinda has to aim now thanks to the nerf.
>>341805936
So was I.

I dont know whats more pathetic you or the people that bitch about such shit, either way twitch fags and the moba community are cancer.

I never made such an implication.
>>341793012
Neat, Lucio playing the role Genji is supposed to play and doing it a thousand times worse.
>>341806335
Yeah, he's obviously a good player but these kills would have been way faster and more optimal as other characters
>>341793012
yeah lucio was pretty good before they nerfed his damage. but obviously too good

Do you have any source for that claim then?
I highly doubt that this is because of the engine.
Maybe I don't really get what you are talking about but air strafing doesn't sound like something that's hard to implement.
You only have to accelerate the hero into a specific direction when the player presses a key.
I mean you can sprint as soldier mid-air. And you can change your direction when double jumping as Genji. I mean that's not exactly air strafing but it's still somewhat similar.
>>341806859
Too few Final blows for that many eliminations though and too much objective time.

The whole point of doing this shit is to stay alive better while helping your team, not fuck off like a retard and bait your team.
>>341800871
>right click
>land a headshot
It's a horizontal spread, dude, if you aim for the head odds are one will land and two will miss. You can maybe sometimes use left click and get a headshot that way but it's basically never going to happen, it's super hard to actually do that when you're in melee range.
The way it goes is that you try to get some potshots in with left click before you dash to go in, then you can do your thing. Otherwise, m2+melee+dash only does 180, not enough to kill anybody but zenyatta.
Contrast to Tracer who can do some insane headshot damage in melee range, and can get out the second things turn bad or go unexpected. Meanwhile Genji must 100% commit because his fucking dash only refreshes on cooldown, so going in with it means you have no escape. You have to execute ganks perfectly.

I pick Genji solely to troll tryhards and no-lifers. Nothing makes me harder than some virgin cunt sitting at his shitty computer grunting in dismay.
>>341807728
I'd rather take a genji than a hanzo any day.
>>341806697
Tracer?
>>341806697
D'va?
Guess mine.
Why is Genji so much fun?

and Im guessing Rein
>>341807520
Tracer has no vertical mobility
Genji arguably has the better escape
Genji is more tanky due to his higher hp and his deflect
Genjis ult even if situational is a lot better
Genji has better synergy with a lot of heroes
Tracer is only better on maps that have very little high ground
>>341808201
Nope, mine is D'va, it's why I guessed her, as both my best of and overall look really close to yours on her.
Pharah?
It's almost impossible to play as Bastion now because everyone so damn in love with age I that he's in 90% of the games I play
>>341808330
Ah nice; very similar stats.

>>341808538
tracer is really good against bad teams that will chase her
>>341808538
Or when she blinks into the back of your team, deletes your support then rewinds away.
>>341809004
>BZZT
>>341808719
His double jump and his dash define the character though and his dash has a million times more applications than his deflect.
In fact his deflect is basically press E when you are about to take a lot of damage and aim at the hero you want to kill.
How do you play ranked? I am only level 20, doesn't it unlock at level 25?

Look man, I do that because I reach a point in which I just don't give a fuck, sometimes I just want to have fun without trying too hard.
>>341809239
You have 2 options with dash, dash to or away, its really not that hard...jumping takes no skill.
>>341804765
>>341805169
Circle strafing is a quirk of the Quake/idTech/Source engine, exploiting the air velocity and going beyond the intended restrictions. All characters are capable of it, not a unique trait of the Soldier.
>>341806914
It is explicitly because of the engine.
Circle strafing in the air to build up a lot of speed and quickly adjust your trajectory is an unintended side effect of the movement system in the idTech engines. By moving 90° perpendicular to the current direction you're going and gradually turning more to the side, your intended horizontal speed is added to your forward speed, and you turn in that direction.
For example, you're flying forward in the air and want to turn right.
You let go of the W key, hold down D and smoothly turn your mouse to the right. Your heading in the air will turn with you and you will find yourself gradually speeding up. As long as you don't turn too fast, you can quickly spin right around in mid air and retain all of your momentum.
Similarly to "skiing" in Tribes, this engine behavior was left as is because the players took to it and used it as a core element in the games. It became a feature. But whereas Tribes was just a matter of poor friction as a result of landing on slopes, replicating Quake Circle Strafing in the same way on a different engine would likely be very difficult.
