The face svb makes when he gets slept by ana's is priceless.
It screams "so this is how it feels on the other side."
It was actual perfection tho. Immediately the Ana sleeps him.😂
(5:00) As a Quickplay Andy Ana main, there's nothing better than a Genji actually letting you know they're about to blade. Hopefully, more players learn to spam their ultimate if they want Nano.
However, when it does happen, it makes me feel like a mama bird watching my baby leave the nest, off to destroy the world.
youre weird
And then they Dive headfirst in and waste it completely
@@tarrabah5775support players when their teammates dont play like top10
@@tarrabah5775it's the thought that counts
Until they get headshot by a hanzo or widow
He singlehandedly makes me want to try new characters. Keep posting these!
Same for me
Yep. SVB had me become a Doomfist main when I never wanted to play as tank
Also something to consider is, that since Genji is inherently such a fun character that truly rewards every bit of effort you put into mastering him, it means Genji "mains" in general tend to be far more dedicated to their preferred hero, than most other players in the game objectively speaking. So it's only natural that when Genji is actually in a decent state, the quantity of players proficient with him can easily make it seem like Genji as a hero is much better than he is, which isn't reflective of reality, it's just the fact that all these devoted players are now actually allowed to play their hero without getting hero diffed by default at the baseline value level. When he isn't meta, he gets medium value on average, but when Genji is neutrally viable, you see these players come into their true right and really do some damage even though they aren't overall ranked higher than everybody else. They are just that more invested in this particular hero, than pretty much anybody else is to theirs.
At least that's my hypothesis of his kit that fosters great devotion because he's just so fun and rewarding from a gameplay experience perspective.
Good point
Remember when doom got buffed and og doom mains started to have a field day 😂 its really just devoted players making these characters look busted
Fr, when OW2 released I was so happy that I could do more than what I was used to. When CC got the nerf, and not too many ppl abused Sombra at the time, Genji felt great. He was the same hero, but with the hit to CC and 1 less tank to peel, it was refreshing being able to dive backlines and not have insta stuns that got u killed.I honestly feel like if they didn't nerf him, it would've been okay. Since ppl were not yet fully adjusted to playing with flankers who weren't afraid of CC anymore. He's not the best rn, but he's the most fun to me. Popping off on Genji, knowing full well the work I had to put in just to do something others can do easier, makes me feel good. He may be easily countered by certain characters, but when you pull off insane things and play better than ppl countering you, it just makes you feel high lmao.
It’s crazy how Genji himself has such rewarding gameplay, yet the surrounding game hardly rewards you for your skilled. So many of his counters are the easy no skill or brain required heroes. At least everything is watered down in OW2 so you can just force him and have fun. But I remember the dark OW1 days when I wanted the hero to just be pulled out of this game and put in another since it would be so damn frustrating with all the CC and imbalance.
Exactly
At this point I watch you for you - your eloquence, your approach to thinking/talking about your experience, your editing. You are a top tier UA-cam, I look forward to watching you learn other games
I love the perspective of playing heroes that make the game fun rather than singularly focusing on “optimal picks”. Really fun video
No. The game was designed this way for us players find the optimal team comps and win. Individualism kills the game.
Overwatch 1 literally died because it was too team comp based
@@RealRiders I for one prefer to have my team pick their favorites because naturally those are my our best picks and even if there is a "counter" of our heroes in the enemy team we know how to adjust against them because lets be honest ow2 is a lot less A destroy's B and a lot more if A is on board B should adjust.
@@RealRiders At the end of the day it's just a video game that groups a bunch of random people into a lobby to play together. Enjoy your journey even if it doesn't align with theirs.
Highly recommend the full video SVB made with Jake, I watched the whole thing and there are a LOT of great tips Jake gives on it
Hi SVB
JK lol
I spent weeks trying to learn how to play Genji before deciding that even though he can be fun and good, he just takes so much effort to play. I just want to chill and have fun. Not force myself to get super sweaty and my fingers cramped up from both his high mechanical skill needed and the game sense required. Echo works somewhat similarly to Genji but feels way easier to play for me and I have a lot of fun on her now.
Perhaps a 7 day Echo learning? I’d really like to see that one day.
Huh ppl really r different cause imo it didn't take me very long to learn genji I don't think he's harder than echo in fact I'd day echo is harder n widow is harder tracer to some extent is harder than him.
When you get good at genji you don’t sweat, getting 3k blades is really easy as long as you aren’t sweating, when I try hard I play a bit worse for somreason
People who are good with Genji don't sweat most of the time tough
Great video man. Had the same feeling with genji and other close range characters, it feels like in the current meta with sniper maps, brawl comps with mei and unkillable supports it's tough to have a massive value on the character, so we can only hope that blizzard will nerf genji even more because of that 😂
Main takeaway: Genji needs a nerf 🤷
Fax the sword should be a pool noodle
@@TheFirebal At least make it deal extra damage to any hero wearing a summer/swimsuit skin
@@TheFirebalit already is
@Crusher c
Fhcy and the last few weeks we were having a few friends and a half a dozen people who were a bit of an idiot 6th night
He has been nerfed enough
Wow, I mean I know Jake's history but I didn't realize how smart he is with these specific focuses
Nice improvements! Genji is my main and its nice to see that he needs a nerf
this might be my favorite series on youtube these days. hope you make one for every single hero.
I need to clear something up, just because a character has an ability that Genji cant deflect that doesn't make them a Genji counter. Remember, all the other characters also can't deflect, you wouldn't say Moira counters McCree would you. Actual Genji counters are Sym, Torb, Doom, Junker Queen, Junkrat, Zarya Mei or Moira (if paired with another counter), Echo, and Bap just because of his immortality field. People also think Winston and Hog counter him, but they just end up being ult farms.
A tip for Genji from Necros himself is to dash at peoples feet so you dont have turn around to shuriken people that you want dead
Svb took dafrans name for his genji run
I think they need to give him 30 ammo or a faster reload speed
Tysm you made me learn how to play genji and win more without losing any game
Very nice! I just started playing Genji a couple of days ago and it feels actually difficult, but with this vid I've found some nice motivation a few useful tips. Cheers!
11:38 sadly, that day won't come. Blizzard, and the community, is way more focused on just doing whatever the individual wants and not actually play it as a team game. And that counts for literally all the the ingame queues, yes, even ranked. The only way to get that experience, which most of us don't have time for, is to search for a team, and play in scrims and small tournaments. And seeing as Blizzard wants to control everything, you can't just join a random LAN-Party, and play the game because .. It's not allowed.
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH, THEYRE SO ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIONAL, PLZ KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING SVB I LUV U AND YOUR CONTENT ❤❤
Watching these kinds videos when trying to learn a new character is super helpful. Like after I watched the video where you spent 10 hours learning wrecking ball my winrate went from 30% to 90%.
Absolutely agree. Have NEVER understood why pick ban isnt in comp. You are expected to be able to play multiple heroes because of how prominent swapping to counter is so the idea that your hero gets banned out is just stupid.
1:40 to be fair, that was the greatest blade ever in terms of entertainment value lol
Great video! I love this serie of learning new characters. You always do such good overwatch content, thanks!!
I love these man. I find myself spending a week on the hero’s you review its awesome!
I love this series
SVB! If you're trying to coordinate nano blade, type in chat at the beginning and say you'll use the 3,2,1 ping when you're gonna ult. Let them know they can nano at anytime during the 3 2 1. Then just ping that your ults ready and use the 3 2 1, makes a huuuge difference
It's pretty much a universal rule that when a Genji says "my ultimate is ready" it means he wants to combo in the upcoming fight. Ana players ignoring this are doing it deliberately (unless they're deaf). It happens so often that they just straight up refuse to nano the Genji, presumably out of spite? Or because they want to exclusively dictate who they give it to, regardless of the fight winning combo potential with blade. Idk, all I know is I've tried everything. I do the "ult ping", I do "3, 2, 1", I comm in voice chat... at the end of the day, many Ana players will just straight up ignore you no matter what and there's nothing you can do with a player who doesn't value teamplay synergy.
As a genji main the most annoying thing is that if you kill like one person a the start of the game, then their whole team switches just to counter you.
I’ve been playing Genji for about a week, the only thing I absolutely struggle with is getting value with his blade, I’m on console so that makes a good difference, I either zone out or I don’t have dash
As someone who loves playing Ana, if any DPS peels for me then that DPS gets priority on my Nano.
Bro is using my favourite character, giving me some good advices, and using the best songs from one of the best game called Persona 5 🗿 what a chad
genuinely, Genji is fun, but he feels like the only character that is punished for people being good at him.
this is a great video! learned some as a person with 100ish genji hours
How do you only have 60k subs??? Your voice and energy combined with the content are all so great.. I thought I would look and you’d have 3 million easy! Keep it up and you will
Nothing feels worse as Genji, than when you die before you even finish the blade animation
I love these videos, keep up the good work. 😊
I like to think of genji as a distraction for supports, they won’t heal their team if they are busy with you. You don’t even need to confirm a kill most times, just making them focus on you helps
Getting Mei and Orissa ulted at the same time cracked me up , that’s how it feels playing support sometimes 😂
bro got better at genji in 7 days than i did in 7 years - mechanically speaking. I have not seen that many deflect kills in several years now
Yo 5:40 that’s me lol
I play genji because apart from the fact that it can be difficult you need to think and you can't go crazy for the enemies and each game is very different from the previous one
Welp, you got me to try and fall in love with both JQ and TankFist. Time to try out Genji! Can't wait for the eventual Tracer vid.
1:40 pretty much tells my experience with Genji.
3:12 background music - Beneath the Mask by Lyn.
But I recommend the cover - Beneath the Mask cover by Sapphire, Velvet Lounge.
People forget we play games to have fun… I’m genji main atm and it’s a living hell but so fun
What Jeff did to mercy Aaron is doing to Genji
thats a great idea with Valorant and Apex! because as a veteran OW player I also tried Apex but it was just too boring after OW because its a goddamn battle royal
im loving the 7 day hero thing your doing keep it up
Hey SVB can you please let me know what song you use at 0:33?? This tune has been stuck in my head for years but I never knew what it was from!
my biggest tip for not getting roled? celebrate a single kill. ask "who are we pointing at" one kill, many times, can be a victory over the previous fight
I'm a Genji main and one thing that's important to know is that just because your Genji and you have blade it doesn't mean nano belongs to you its your supports decision to give to the person who they believe will benefit from it for example it could be better that it be used to save your tanks life or because they know blade wont be overly good against the enemy team build stop acting like its yours
hes definitely strong in the right hands, amazing video as always
We want to see you do a video like this on Symmetra. She’s so unique it would be great to see how she’s played in less optimal situations.
I’m hoping a Tracer one happens, I’ve learn how to pick up so many characters from this series, but I’m hoping to hone my skills a little more with my main
Used to be a Genji main during OW1, one of the inherent problems with Genji imo is that a DPS character shouldn't have a defensive ability like reflect (which more fits the tank role better) to begin with.
Yes, I'm implying a Genji rework. The nerfs are just a side effect of his flashy plays but in reality either you stomp or just are completely useless. There's not much of an inbetween
Great editing! Funny music, good memes and great moments 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i mean bro when you spammed your "my ultimate is ready" button, you kinda pulled the blade at the wrong time lol
Would love to see a brig edition as she is one of the most misunderstood and hated characters!
Genji is my favorite hero to play, but they over nerfed him and then added a bunch of counters to the game and it makes a super fun hero rather frustrating to play.
id love to see you play junkrat, i feel like most people dont appreciate what he can do
This video made me want to start learning genji. Its really paid off
Genji is fun. I can only do it in mystery heroes since I’m so bad though. 😂
genji is only weak if ur bad. I'm silver 4 and I hit consistent 0 blade kills with about 20 deaths and 5 kills in endgame. I would say he's pretty strong since when I play widow I only get 1 kill and about 30 deaths. Would say I'm pretty good on genji
The reality Is, most of the heroes who required skills are useless in Ow 2, because Aaron decide to buff only the stupid ones and nerf the others.
Just wait until mauga comes out and every blade gets you put in a cage match lol
SvB has joined the ranks of the Genji enjoyers. Welcome my friend.
This man spent one week and is playing better than i ever can with all the effort i put into console genji.
as a genji who swapped from ps4 to pc, it makes a huuuuuuuge difference. it took me like 2 days of adapting until my pc genji was better than my console one where i had played more than 2 years
i was barely diamond on console, got to 3400 as soon as i played comp on pc and now in ow2 with rank inflation ofc im gm2 peak hovering around low gm
I beg you to do junkrat , i want to become the newest best junkrat , and maybe watching you learn i could get better
was waiting for this
same
7 days learning Street Fighter 6. It’s launching, no better time.
He's a high skill, high reward character. You have to learn him to get good.
At 1:50, he could’ve survived by wall climbing or by double jumping
Please please please! Try bastion, hes super fun and a very interesting character to learn!
Great Video, I really enjoy watching you. Nerf Genji fr.
Bro played genji for 7 days and is already better than me
Just finished watching. Very informative and relatable video
If your below plat you wont get nanoed when you blade because your prob gonna f it up anyways, thats why she didnt nano you
Great video as always SVB!
the thumbnail bruh lmaooo
There ain't much that Jake don't know about OW. Couldn't have picked a better coach.
I remember when Genji was good at the start of ow2 and all the new players called him overpowered
This series is very fun!
I'd like you to learn Junkrat. There's so much about him.
5:31
RECOGNIZED!?
AS WHO!?
PAVITR PRABHAKAR!?????
Genji not being able to deflect beams in dumb, irl, light reflects off metal. What is genjis blade? METAL. The only one that really makes sense is mei cause.. ice.
i have not gotten a nano on genji in the past 3 years
Great series SVB
This video alone is about to get this hero nerfed.....again....Thanks SVB. -_-
Blizzard be like o man this character is op well GENJI is also I mean why doesn’t have a pool noodle that hits for 20 damage
I like this video because there’s many footage of Genji suffering
Cool story, but what is your final rank? How can you say you have learned a hero if its gold, for example?
UPD: From the second channel video I see that SVB got diamond 3 before coaching from Jake
What is the name of the song for the duration of day 7?
your videos are amazing
Can you do baptiste or Kiriko next? (After apex)
genji is a dopamine rush like no other,
genji is a noob stomper, but is pretty weak overall
Hes fallen to the dark side " doesnt matter playing genji :)"
I just don’t rely on nano. I’ve only been nano’d twice in Overwatch 2.
hyped for the apex video
always blade normally its just luck if you get nano
