Twitch reflexes and impeccable aim are important in Rainbow Six Siege, but so is being incredibly patient and choosing the right moment to strike.

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.

Grenades are not toys.
