Key takeaways

• Flanking Angles: Genji's engagements are significantly more effective when coming from above or behind the enemy team, rather than from the side or directly through the front.
• Target Prioritization: On Genji, prioritize engaging the enemy's hitscan or vulnerable support players over their tank, as Genji has a more favorable matchup against them.
• Dash Usage: Genji's dash should be used for damage and securing kills, not solely for mobility. Conserving the dash for engagements and potential resets is crucial.
• Team Coordination: Understand when to engage with teammates, especially flankers like Tracer, to create multiple angles of attack and maximize impact.
• Map Awareness and Positioning: Utilize the map's verticality and cover effectively, especially on heroes like Genji and Tracer, to maintain high uptime and avoid unnecessary risks.
• Resource Management: On Tracer, manage blinks and recall effectively to sustain engagements and maximize self-sufficiency, especially when health packs are available.
• Objective Play: Understand when to play for objective touches and when to focus on securing eliminations, ensuring that engagements align with the team's overall strategy.
• Risk Management: Be aware of the risks associated with engaging in unfavorable duels or overextending without support, especially when outnumbered.
