Genji takes very little skill

Fan (right-click) is extremely forgiving to hit with, to the level where I would call it not requiring aim. I can’t see that it is harder for Genji to apply damage than for a Brigitte. That is how easy to hit with at least one of the stars.

Dash plows a highway through the map, also requiring no aim whatsoever to apply damage with.

And seriously, every replay is like that: fanfanfan Dash fanfan etc.

His ultimate also requires very little in the skill department.

Sure, there are some routines that needs to be learned, but that is just about it when it comes to skill.

I don’t understand why we have heroes with very high skill requirements (Sojourn being the latest) and others that require so very little. It is frustrating to get killed on a high-skill hero by one that requires so little.

im willing to bet you that you dont play this hero at all considering how you calling him “very little skill.” but youre only saying this because youre on the receiving end by getting killed by him. this is beyond ridiculous

I couldn’t agree more. The game feels hand holdy, but then again most players just want brainless gameplay…so Blizzard basically said “F it, make it Cod but mixed with OW”

Before you get steamrolled by the others I gotta ask

Y would u do this to yourself

I think Genji is probably one of the most balanced heroes in the game. Which also makes him one of the most difficult to play.

Tell me you’re bad at the game without telling me you’re bad at the game

Genji taking little skill is a smooth brain take

Saying Genji is super easy because you spam shuriken feels a lot like saying Widowmaker is super easy because she’s just point and click.

Lol and you sound like a genji main with that statement. His ult shouldn’t net 4 kills everytime…that is called unbalanced i.e. Nano-blade assuring 5 with little effort on top of him being hard to hit with his verticality. But you will say otherwise either way

Maybe try and explain why the person is wrong instead of calling them stupid. If you know how.

If Genji is low skill then almost every other hero can be played by a blind newborn since Genji is objectively harder than 90% of the cast

This statement says alot about your knowledge and skill of the game since vertically is the easiest type of mobility to hit since it’s so predictable compared to horizontal mobility and it’s exactly why strafing is so important and why tracer is so hard to hit

Im low Diamond and I have played Genji (although not competitively). I have duelled him alot competitively, both as a healer and as DPS, and I know him quite well, thank you.

ah yes, my favorite “hehehe youre just a genji main. you dont know what youre talking about” argument. when you make absurd claims like this, i can definitely assure you and the OP dont know what you both are talking about. especially calling this hero “easy” and “little effort” as if anyone can pick him up and pull it off consistently and with high success. i really wanna see yall put your money where your mouth is and come back to me about this. but hey im just a “genji main” so clearly i dont know what im talking about right?

I suppose Genji takes no skill but Moira is the embodiment of skill.

After they reduced spread, they basically turned his right click into a shotgun. the majority of his problems come from the hitscans being op af. when compared to reasonable dps, he is quite good.

Oh really? You find that a comparison even worth posting?
The difference is, that one of them needs extremely good aim, whereas the other does not - at all.

he is low skill literally the only hero that doesnt have to think about cooldown usage

I hope you’re joking?

I don’t even play genji but come on. He’s not ow1 doom or Mei. He has one of the highest skill ceilings and lowest skill floors in the game.

Which DPS… because most of them can either 50/50 him or have the advantage.

I tried playing the dude one time and found that you really do need to be able to aim that secondary.

Moira is exactly a good example of the same type of hero as Genji. Luckily she is not as good at killing as she used to be.
