Genji can wall run to reset his double jump counter (+1 jump after climbing)
Genji can dash out of Zarya's graviton surge
He can also dash past a Roadhog after being hooked though this is very inconsistent. I assume it relies on you being faster than him (but he has the advantage when you're stunned). If you get hooked you may as well try.
Genji can use his dash to weave around obstacles
As long as your cursor has sight of where you want to go, even if its very small (see gif), you will weave through and make it out to the end. Sometimes you can also propel yourself quite far but I can't seem to reproduce it consistently.
Zarya's particle cannon can be used to perform mini rocket jumps
These work horizontally too
Pharah's concussive blast can be used to jettison herself away from potential dangers
Saw this in a video, but I can't find the source :/
Mercy's Caduceus Staff maintains a link up to two seconds after you loose a direct connection (hide behind a wall)
You can use this to pop in an out of cover to reset the two second timer to protect yourself. Thanks /u/kaloryth !
Moasseman
"He can also dash past a Roadhog after being hooked though this is very inconsistent" It depends on how far the Roadhog hooks from.
alptud
You can also give yourself a bit of an extra jump with 76's helix rockets. You can use this to get to otherwise inaccessible places with him
foxfire1112
Dude this were so useful
RavioliRavioliEndMyExistenceoli
Bastion can also rocket jump when in tank mode.
singular
Bastion pro tip: Use mouse left button.
gn4rwhals
Genji is Master Yi.
RavioliRavioliEndMyExistenceoli
Another tip. Activating self-destruct while flying causes D.va's suit to launch in that direction, good for avoiding multiple enemies.

What game is this?

saboten13
You underestimate how aggressively bad I am at this game. Thanks for all the tips!
vixiecat
I just run around, point guns, and push buttons until the special is charged. usually as Reaper then go spinny and yell 'die die die!'
RavioliRavioliEndMyExistenceoli
Most importantly: Remember to change characters during the game to adjust to different challenges, the game is build around this mechanic.
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
Three genjis on one team is interesting to say the least
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
Plus two hanzos
AThreeFootTallChocolateMooseWithFudgeEyes
Reaper can get out of Gravity Surge as well. Use his Wraith ability
NotEnoughMidgets
"Aggressively mediocre" sounds like a good way to describe Overwatch itself, along with over-hyped.
CandyCornHusky
Don't forget that Genji can deflect protectile ults and use it against the person who used it and a lot of time require great timing on some
Dohdee
Loose? That error upsets me
sngnpngn
So I don't really understand this game. I've not read up on it, don't own it. Is it just a TFC/TF2 clone with MOBA shit thrown in?
sngnpngn
@threeonefive @BehemothBathtub Thanks for clarifying guys.
DerpyBabu
Look at this magnificent game that i cant play.
gothaminvader93
this game makes me hope that valve try a little bit harder to bring more interesting updates to TF2 instead of the COD way of reskins,
SarcasticMoron
Genji, Genji can fly. Genji can survive without life. Genji is the new Chuck Norris.
KelThuzadDidNothingWrong
You can also play more characters than fucking Genji and McCree, something a lot of people don't seem to have figured out yet.
Derfalke
But he's a cyborg ninja! I don't get how other characters are an option.
MaharynArts
Based on extensive quick play games, I'm coming to the conclusion that some people just see 21 portraits of Genji on the hero picker screen.
KelThuzadDidNothingWrong
It does seem like that might be the case.
jrau18
All I got from this was that Genji's dash is OP
monsterhunter4lyfe
Lol at 200 health genji is mincemeat without it.
Chryos
Better than Pharah at 200 health, at least his movement bonus doesn't leave him totally exposed. He has other juke options.
MilkshakeMan01
Does any one know if it is actually possible to deflect a Hanzo ult. If so people should know about it.
organicsnail
Yes. It is actually possible. Gotta git gud tho
ScoobyDuubySnacks
Junkrats ultimate can clime walls
ScoobyDuubySnacks
Genji can deflect any projectile ultimate. like, hanzo ult or pharah ultimate
ScoobyDuubySnacks
I don't even own the game and I know this
ScoobyDuubySnacks
With some character setting tweaks mercy can jump to other characters while one healing one character.
FayS0ff
Where my Lucio players at?
organicsnail
Pushing people off of cliffs.
DickMegahurtz
Reinhart can charge out of gravity bomb and McCree's roll reloads his gun. Also, shooting other players kills them.
Givemeabreak432
Widowmaker can also pull herself out of gravity bomb using her grappling hook.
Randallfitz
Oh fuck, shooting people kills them? Sounds pretty OP.
srsfaceI8C
It's amazing how many people don't know about the shooting other players kills them thing.
barnwolf
I'm more of a "shoot near other players without hitting them" sort of guy myself.
srsfaceI8C
At least there's two characters for you, right up your alley. Pharah and Junkrat.
ForgottenTaco
the roll reloads the gun ?
lewdcruderudebagofprechewedfooddude
I didn't like what I played of Overwatch but +1 for an informative post that could benefit people.
firepower412
See, thank you. I made an Overwatch post but it got aggressively downvoted because people didn't like the game
normandygahn
Overall I think it's too little content for the price and people are too willing to overlook that because yay Blizzard. But still fun imo.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Quite the contrary for me, I hate blizzard with a fiery passion. I was legitimately surprised I enjoyed it.
nelshai
I tend to price games as being great if they give 2 hours per £. Overwatch is great by that standard.
normandygahn
It does a lot with what it has, I'll say that. But what it has is essentially 2 games modes and 12 maps. Then again Counter Strike 1/2
normandygahn
is one of the greatest FPSes of all time and most people only want to play 1 map, so maybe it'll end up like that. 2/2
nelshai
I'd hope not. There are some maps I dislike in Overwatch but I found that just adjusting my strategy worked well for those. It'd be a shame-
nelshai
(2) if everyone just ends up wanting to play Hanamura or Anubis Temple or something.
SometimesISayDumbShit
any people like/dislike this game?
AMelloFellow
Great aesthetic, fun gameplay, interesting characters? I'm loving it!
Sallakat
I was sure I wouldn't like it, you know blizzard fps dafuq could that be. But it's a lot of fun!
UsChickens
Way fun. Way way hella fun.
ButtholeMarsBarDispenser
I love it! Fun to play and none of that "pay to use all the characters" bullshit
barkalow
It's definitely great. I've been enjoying it causes the matches are short. Easy to have some fun for minutes or hours.
d0o0o0d
I dislike that it hasn't been ported to my preferred OS yet.
Pipetri
So, you are trying to game on a Mac ? PFFF HA HA HA HA, Oh wait, you were serious. Let me try again. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
DatMormon
Would recommend if you have a group to play with. Not too compelling when solo.
Tanekh
It's alright. It's definitely made for casual play so if you're looking for something to play on a lunch break you might enjoy it.
Rageosaurusrex
It's super fun. I've been playing it since the beta and have been absolutely enjoying it.
Verred01
It's not very balanced, overpriced for what its worth, and only playable for an hour at a time before it gets boring. Not my cup of tea.
CarlosOfNightvale
It's wonderful. I think one of the best parts is that there's so many different play styles that everyone will find something they like.
Voidjumper
Don't like Blizz, never cared for the hype. Played the Open Beta though and fell in love. Definitely would recommend.
Ravenhawk57
Loving it so far.
ElegantKitty
I did not enjoy it, but if you can play a friends or have the money to try it out you might like it. :)
TheMentelgen
I love it! It's the gameplay of TF2 in a MOBA style game mode, which I've wanted for years
thatclimbingguy
Not playing. At all. Am I missing out?
LordoftheDance
Not really.
LordoftheDance
Go get Witcher 3 if you haven't played it.
VarrenHunter
On PC. Enjoying it alot. You need to group up though and communicate to have much more fun though. Randoms can be shit.
trextyler
I liked the beta. I was reaper. Sadly can't afford it though.
onceTHereWasATroll
I Like really fun game
Plaaant
This is the best game
disastrousTV
the game can be a pain in the ass to play alone, thats what most people say, but when youre in a group and not getting stomped super fun
TheMightyDio
It will take over your life. I'm not a fan of FPS's, but I'm planning to play this game for a LOOOOONG time.
TazThePeasant
I can't run it :)
faceofpoopy
lots of friends to play with or it's annoying.
FayS0ff
Did not think I'd enjoy it as much as I have been. Lucio has been a blast to play. Jet Set Radio: The Hero!
MarisaTomei
I played the beta. I found it extremely boring in my opinion.
troggster
if they upped the tick rate and sorted the lag compensations it would be much better
Superchief86
I love it. And I normally hate and am terrible at shooters!
chickenracist
I prefer TF2 and Paladins, but it is still a good/decent game.
wzarya
its really fun but alot of character really needed to be fixed.
radxz
I love this game. But the balance of team is ridiculous.
Gear1solidx
Love
ShirouBlue
I think i like it, i'm not sure enough, i just played it at friends house and i had fun but...i think i'd get tired quickly.
ShirouBlue
I mean, it's easy to say "omg amazing!" Because the game is new so i try to be careful so i don't waste money, i'll buy it eventually.
BeardyMcFace
Quite a few people do both! Separately, of course.
ChrisDaPatriot
no
mrstealyourcode
I enjoy it! Really fun and pretty unique characters Imo
testzero
Yes.
StarkRhino
I like that the games are short. No long games that you slowly lose and get salty over.
runswithlag
I loved the game but couldn't stand the 50% win ratio match making. 47% of the time winning too easy, 48% of the time losing hard, 5% GG
JordD04
A proper matchmaking system should result in a 50:50 Win:Loss ratio.
runswithlag
http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20744524460 if you wanna see what I mean.
CloneWarrior85
It's a fun game, but the low tick rate sometimes makes you want to punch some devs on the face, and on their groins too.
SpyrusCogwheel
Just another arena,fast paced game with lame premade characters ruining the world of mmog.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
You don't know what an arena shooter is do you?
Molvanian
It has its ups and its down. A bad party can really ruin it, and will be more common than a good one by far.
RonSwansonForPresident
Love it

flerdaflerpflerps
Can't tell if trolling or living under a rock
SometimesISayDumbShit
neither. I just don't pay much attention to video game stuffs. Just recently started playing Black Ops 3
MedrengardMax
Dislike it, only because it's an arena shooter, which is not my slice of cake. Characterization is great, I like that much, at least.
HonorableJudgeFudge
Definitely a PvP game you can play all the time then get back into it a few months later. I have about 20 hours so far on it
NicholasGratton
Its a lot of fun with friends but it relies on teamwork, a good team comp and at least basic strategy so if you get some bad randoms its gg.
TheMightyDio
You'd think the chances of being on the better team would be 50-50. I've concluded it's more like 1-99 in favor of shit team.
Pipetri
Sometimes, when I win a match with people who are complete strangers. I'ts magical. Then there's the retards who thins it's a CoD clone.
sorichiro
I played 10 hrs or so and I think the game should be renamed to torbjorn, overborn, or torbborn. Basically fuck him...
TheMightyDio
I hate Torbjorn more than Bastion. Bastion has become really easy to counter and I rarely have problems with him now.
thecyprus
I play as Widowmaker and find those turrets pretty easy to take out. Are they pretty annoying for other heroes?
inb4coolinternetstuff
The turret troll hasn't really been a huge problem for me. Just bastion/Rinehart combo and either genji or tracer spawn killing.
beardedcaliper
Bastion+Mercy, fuck me, right?
ImUglyIRL
Face a team of two bastions and a reindheart blocking them, while they were defending the flag. Safe to say we lost.
Inktea
After you play enough, you learn how easy it is to actually deal with certain characters. Example: Widowmaker craps on Torbjorn.
BloodyBaboon
Hanzo crap on him too. As does Genji.
TheMightyDio
My problem with Genji vs. Torbjorn is that you need to know where the turret is. He always gets me before I find it.
Aphexius
Also a 76 while standing in his aoe heal works well. Just tank its shots while shooting it.
Indactil
If there is more than one Trobjorn it's basically an automatic loss if you're playing with randoms. If it's just one Trobjorn it's easy.1/2
Indactil
Pharah can 3 hit kill Bastion and Trobjorn's turret.
Inktea
More than one Torbjorn, More than one Pharah/Widowmaker. Low - level players are just stubborn to re-pick according to the situation.
DarkN0va
Loves it
MiniHakkero
I can't. stop. playing. it.
QuantumMythics
I've had Bastion nightmares. So many Bastions... so many Turrets... such a fun game though.
MiniHakkero
embrace the way of the green dragon, my friend.
Blunderhorse
The beta was fun, but I won't buy multiplayer only games anymore. If the community dies the game becomes worthless
Wannabelee
It's fu**ing amazing
Darkivan64
I dislike it because it does not has strong animal protagonists characters/huehue
MOTHERFUCKINGVIRGINMARY
I would like it a lot more if it was 60 AUD for a slightly better tf2
SometimesISayDumbShit
sorry for my ignorance but what is tf2?
PingpongMuffinhead
Probably going to get downvoted, but it isn't worth 40$. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But it's worth half that. :/
wasdman
Agreed. For being multiplayer only, and having a small # of modes and features at that. Battleborn is on sale atm and has a LOT more content
Rophy
exactly why I haven't bought it. It was fun in beta, and I do wish I could play but I can't justify $40 for basically KotH or payload game.
PingpongMuffinhead
Battleborn is 40% off, if I remember. Making it's digital delux version about the same price as Overwatch
DotheBabyIsaac
Anyone here play Dirty Bomb? Free to play, every bit as fun as TF2, and decent matchmaking. It's also not pay-to-win. I haven't spent a cent
wasdman
KAWAII!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le7Dd3azn00
ND1Razor
The matchmaking in Dirty Bomb is horrific. The gameplay is amazing but everything apart from that is terrible imo.
pepejovi
Yep, gameplay is amazing but the UI and balancing need a whole lotta work. The devs said they're working on upgrading the UI tho.
wasdman
It's got it's issues, but is pretty damn solid. It's fast paced and takes some skill, with some experienced players that will kick your ass.
Alex1514
I agree, plus Blizzard designed the game in such a way that future DLC will be awkward to implement. Talk about shooting your own foot.
coneyallen
Not sure how it would be awkward... New maps, game modes, characters, games, etc.
Alex1514
1/ Existing characters' abilities are so complex that a build improvement system like LoL Dota HoTS and Battleborn have in place cannot work
Alex1514
2/ and new game modes cannot work either since each hero is balanced around a TF2 pvp playstyle, which means introducing a game type like
coneyallen
The people at Blizzard are very creative and I don't feel really need this similar system to introduce new heroes and abilities.
spiceass9000
Is it a moba or more like classic fps?
Pipetri
None. Battleborn's multiplayer is like a FPS MOBA. And it's not like classic FPS because kills mean nothing. It's a TEAM based FPS 1/2
Pipetri
I love it because I suck at " Call of Halo ". But now, playing support,I get a lot of nice plays.And all the CoD players are frustrated AF
Kamasu0Tra
Since the other guy didn't awnser you, it's an FPS. It's pretty much Team Fortress 2, which is free now. Give it a shot, if you like it, OW
Kamasu0Tra
might be for you.
spiceass9000
Now that was an answer, thank you!

51CorgisInABar
Your waifu is trash
Bleuargneuh
My opinion of it, and correct me if this has changed, but sometimes with a bad matchmaking games can last 30 seconds if one team is too strg
QuantumMythics
Going from Splatoon to Overwatch, I think this is pretty common with games like this. If you don't play with friends, you're often doomed.
Bleuargneuh
Which makes loading become longer than gameplay sometimes
dweezy23
I don't think you could get a game down to 30 seconds if one team didn't play at all. But yeah a mismatched game can end pretty quick.
dweezy23
But I prefer to lose quick and move on to a better match anyway.
Danceswithwoolensweater
I like it a lot!, It's fun easy to pick up and loads to learn.
SometimesISayDumbShit
cool! thanks. having only seen a few screenshots and a little bit of gameplay, it seems a bit... kiddish. true or false?
Twistedphoenix
The art style is for futurism/sci-fi as wow was/is for high fantasy
vaneri
Has sort of an cartoon style to it, but it wouldnt fit at all if it was realistic. Looks extremely good though
badaccount
The same way WoW is kiddish. It's just an asthetic choice from Blizzard.
Danceswithwoolensweater
I don't think it's cartoony. To me the art style fits it's definitely futuristic.
vinexgames
I'm usually leery about these kinds of games, and the art style as well threw me off, but trust me and everyone else - it's worth it.
Yorowozordhorry
The same could be said for Windwaker, which is considered one of the best Legend of Zelda games to date.
IncognitoCube
Yes.
GldfishOverlord
I like the game just what bothers me is the lack of game types theres only two.
Myanosisbleeding
Well that's wrong.
GldfishOverlord
I hope it is all ive been playing was defend the objective and escort the car.
Myanosisbleeding
Escort, capture point, hybrid, and assault.
Chryos
There's best 2/3 king of the hill, and then the combo maps (objective then escort.) There's only so many modes you can do, though.
IOnlyFavouriteBunniesAndRats
I would like to see a TDM mode. Would accommodate all those spammy pricks that like to play Torbjorn and Bastion.
QualifyingHarbinger
(1) I've enjoyed what I've played, but I'm not going to get it. I know that I'll get bored once I've played every character for a while
QualifyingHarbinger
(2) since their roles will never change. I like that, but I don't see a long lasting love of the game coming from me.
uusseerrssuubb
I'm not going to pick it up. Its a great game but there are characters in it that are pretty annoying.
supersonik
but we're already seeing tactics coming out to counter once annoying things, e.g. reaper wraith to counter bastion
Pipetri
Maybe you mean Bastion ? A lot of people are complaining about him. I just pick Pharah and make all the Bastions on the map my bitches.
Inktea
It's actually really balanced. There's an answer for every situation. It's great.
SometimesISayDumbShit
the only impression I took from this post and the few gameplay clips I saw, it just seems a bit more for the pre-teen demographic.
uusseerrssuubb
You can go up against pretty complex teams sometimes... Or you can end up fighting 6 bastions.
CaramelToe
6 bastions is the only defense strat for king's row
xGallifreyRises
5 Torbjorns and a genji... It was massacre, we didn't stand a chance cause it's effectively 11 combatants on their team!
supersonik
i think blizzard put a lot of effort into balancing it. it's just players who haven't been playing for months aren't acclimated and spammy
thellamaswillrise
*cough* Torbjorn *cough*
Pipetri
Meh, Pick Pharah. A couple of well placed missiles make easy work of any turret. Be it autonomous or Bastion.
