If you can see Overwatch's Genji you've probably let him get too close. The same applies to his character in Heroes of the Storm. And if that happens, whatever you do, don't shoot him.

Liam "Mangachu" Campbell is a Canadian Overwatch player who's quite good, as shown in his use of Eichenwalde's rooftops to strike with Genji's ultimate.

While it's possible to play Overwatch and not pay attention to its lore, there's a part of that game's fandom that loves it for its lore. These fans theorise about character backgrounds, make fan art, and often obsess over the possible romantic pairing in the game, known as "shipping."

They imagine former friends Reaper and Soldier 76 sharing intimate moments in easier times, or they dream of rivals Widowmaker and Tracer falling in love on the battlefield. There are also fans who ship Genji and Hanzo. That's where some fans think shipping goes too far, because Genji and Hanzo aren't former friends or rivals. They're brothers.

I have a confession: I have become an Overwatch meta slave. I rarely pick heroes other players think are "bad". I won't take risks with our tank-healer balance. And, most important, I will seethe when my team doesn't reflect the holy comp du jour.

The addition of Overwatch favourite Genji to Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm this week has revealed yet another big, important fact about him: This guy loves memes.

"I need healing." Yeah, well, get in line, buddy. In Overwatch, needing healing is a way of life. It's also a thing you can spam in "All" chat until your teammates want to throttle you. And, of course, a meme.

It's a tale as old as time. Overwatch has a new event, and with it, new skins. While the fandom was already hyped for Genji's Blackwatch skin, they have noticed something interesting: He has goddamn knives on his feet.

Recently released Overwatch comic Uprising showed off more of the heroes' pasts. A juicy lore revelation and slick character design for Genji has captured fan's imaginations, inspiring theories and lots of amazing art.

I main Mercy, so I have a very long and detailed ranking of Overwatch characters I would like her to date. Genji is not at the top of that list, but Symettra's voice actor is making an argument that maybe he should be.

Video: Overwatch's upcoming map, Oasis, will crush you. Literally -- there's traffic.

Overwatch's Genji is the annoying buzz in your ear when you know a fly is in the room and can't damn find it. But you have to admit -- his weapon design is awesome.

The crew at Spiral Cats are some of the best cosplayers on the planet. Especially when it comes to Overwatch.

Overwatch's competitive season two patch just hit the public test servers, and it's a doozy. Nerfs, buffs, laughter, tears of delicious, delicious salt -- it's all here.

Some relatively minor tweaks aside, Overwatch's cyborg ninja dragon blender Genji hasn't changed much since launch. Over the past few weeks, though, I've come across dozens of threads begging Blizzard to nerf Genji so hard he starts throwing rubber ducks instead of ninja stars. What happened?

The more people that get into Overwatch, the more Overwatch cosplay we see. The more we see, the better it gets. And few have been better than this Genji getup.
