Does anybody have advice for getting better at Genji without being a burden to my team? He's a lot of fun and I like playing him but I'm pretty bad at it and even when I do okay I can tell I could be doing a lot better and would probably be contributing more if I picked a character I'm more comfortable with like Tracer or McCree. The specific thing I find holding me back is really his shurikens; I'm relatively decent with hitscan but I've always had trouble with projectiles and the shurikens in particular are a fairly unusual weapon I can't exactly practice with except by playing Genji. I know that at the end of the day it really is just a matter of playing a lot until I get better at it, but is there anything specific I can do to improve my aim or at least compensate for my bad aim so I don't have to feel so bad about being a bad?

Set up custom games where it's commonly understood that people aren't playing their mains I guess

Seagull is sitting at a 73% win rate currently. https://watcher.gg/profile/pc/us/Seagull%231894

But I guess Seagull is an outlier, lol.

The people at the top skill levels are always outliers. There are some Dota 2 players with win percentages over 80& but the vast majority of players are around 50%.

I'm at 50% on the heroes I actually play...except for Lucio, who has 85%. I don't even like playing as him :(

I barely hit 60% with my good characters as a solo queuer so take that as you might.

Some people still don't really expect attacks from behind in some maps and you can basically win the game as a harrasser that way. See: Volskaya and the left shortcut.

A laser on the location widowmaker is scoped in on might be a cool way of nerfing her and preventing the oh ya sick her ult was up kill cams where she just watches the corner at head level for whoever you are.

It really wouldn't; she'd just train the laser on the corner wall instead of directly past the corner, then flick the cursor to your head once you pop out around the corner.

The tracer rounds work well enough for telling you instantly where she's perched.

it seemed like a good idea at the time
The amount of salt going on in this game is hilarious sometimes. We were defending on Temple of Anubis against an obvious premade (they all had JoJo's Bizarre Adventure themed names) and someone immediately picked a sniper, so I went Bastion. Set myself up in a good spot and did what Bastion does best. The Winston would consistently jump up to me and limply attempt to shock me as I would...y'know, pivot around and make him melt, as Bastion does. Every time I did this, he would say SUCH SKILL, THIS BASTION or BASTION MLG or some other "bastion is an easy hero" salt, and then he would proceed to jump right up to me again, like I wouldn't shoot him this time, and get even more mad.

What exactly did he think was going to happen :psyduck:

Every time I jump in on a Bastion as Winston I have this fantasy where, while you're facing backwards to shoot me to death, my team is going to take advantage of your exposed weak spot to take you out and move up.

This has never even come close to happening.

I think you could get good mileage out of his ult by getting somewhere out of sight where the enemy team can definitely hear you and just cancelling it after the audio cue plays. You know people are going to hunker down when they don't know where it's coming from.

Seriously is there some specific reason why Winston bubbles go down so fast against Bastion? They supposedly have 600 HP but they last about a quarter of a second.

Because Bastion's damage output in turret form is absolutely disgusting.

He "only" puts out 140 - 525 DPS in turret mode. That should give me at least an entire second of comfort and safety. Maybe even two.

There are other people shooting at it at the same time probably, stuff like Winston and Reinhardt shields are often a target for the entire team if you can't see any other enemies to shoot. Test it out online, it could actually be bugged.

Does the jump landing do any damage? He breaks my junkrat steel traps instantly. idk how to get away if I'm in, say, lijiang towers he just rocket juggles me to death with his fists against a wall . The mine isn't even a guaranteed escape.

Both his normal and ultimate landing does damage, around 25-50 or so I think.

I accidentally got a Zarya/Hanzo ult combo for a quadruple kill on Anubis attack tonight (random pub hanzo with no voice comm).

Then later i got a triple kill using Mei's M2 and singlehandedly saved the payload on Dorado defense.

It was a good night.

Master Overwatch makes me feel good because it says I'm the #112 ranked Mercy. That's because its a system predicated on compiling. Play more = higher rank.

Master Overwatch bases the hero specific rank on your total score with that particular hero though. Isn't is possible for a good player to generate a higher hero score in less time played compared to a bad player who is poopsocking the night away using the same hero?
