I have solo queued up to masters 3 and i think im beginning to get hardstuck here. Ive been pretty much one tricking Genji all the way up until this point. And im having a hard time understanding what more i can do to carry a game, and Genji as a character is starting to get frustratingly harder to play and do well as. Especially when characters like cassidy can seemingly kill me faster in a dive situation then i can kill them. I understand im not supposed to pick 1v1s against certain characters, but what do i do when all the characters they play are those? i also get so frustrated at the fact that Genjis blade loses most 1v1s against a tank that does not even have mode. I feel like even Cassidys ult is scarier in a 1v1 scenario against tanks.

And then theres the movement abilities, nearly every character i meet in ranked nowadays has multiple ways to just dodge your ultimate or retreat if you try to dive them. Like for example even Cassidys combat roll alone is enough for him to get out of range of your blade. I hate the fact that the ultimate on Reaper is a much safer approach to get kills i can just position myself and make my ultimate work 9/10. But while on Genji the game turns into a soulslike where you have to play everything perfect, and if you do you might just be able to do average on the scoreboard. While a Cassidy or a Reaper or a Tracer will topscore with the same amount of effort it seems like. The question im trying to ask is what is Genjis real value? Is he just supposed to distract the enemy team and be the most unexpected guy and hope that the enemy is not gonna predict his blade?

Something i dont understand neither is how powerless Genji is if the enemy has a pocket like a Mercy following one of their dps. Like what the hell? You gotta get close to hit your shots but if you do you get lasered by their boosted dps or if you try to hit their Mercy she can fly across the map to their teammate and parkour on you like crazy. But if youre on Cassidy you can pretty much twoshot both of the enemies still fairly easily, same goes for Reaper if you try to dive them. Its so much harder on Genji because his gun is a projectile. Please tell me what do i even do about a Mercy pocketing a dps on the enemy team, do i just let them live? Please i need feedback on all of this.

Par, if you're reading this, Please buff the shit out of Ohma Tokita so he is an actual viable character. Youve said you balance characters around 2s and not 1s. But Ohma Tokita is like one of the worst characters in the game for 2s and 1s. Please buff him, hes a cool character and he is prestige. Give him a 120 in his base maybe? Or maybe make his useless ass counter combo start in base. That alone would make me happy

I have been struggling with drachima recently, and i stumbled across an old post from 3 years ago saying that cargo is the best way to make money as a opinion from the majority of the community. Now 3 years later i spent like 15 minutes to put cargo on my ship at Redwake then i sailed all the way down to Ravenna and only got like 4k? There must be a better way than this? Keep in mind im a criminal so i can only steal cargos, so each cargo only sells for 49 drachima. Thanks for all the answers!

I’ve put about 55 hours into the game and reached level 141, but I’m honestly struggling to understand the appeal and would love some perspective. I feel like I've tried nearly everything, but the experience feels a bit "sloppy" to me. Most of my time is spent sailing around and walking to the same spots to complete the same objectives over and over, which feels like a repetitive loop. The combat also feels a bit off; it seems like mindless spam, and the lag makes it worse—moves aren't instant, and I often find myself floating midair for 5 seconds because of a move I pressed 2 seconds ago. Even the Dark Sea, which was cool at first, feels like an infinite amount of islands without much variety, and fighting sea beasts seems to require just camping on a boat to avoid being one-shot. On top of that, the performance isn't very stable for me, often spiking down to 60 FPS. I know people say it's better than the original, but is there something I’m missing here that would change my experience? I'm genuinely curious what keeps you guys coming back and finding the fun in it.
