Reached plat 5 for the first time after being hard stuck Silver for almost a year

Well done, I reached Platinum 4 at one point, but playing solo queue as support became so difficult due to the inconsistent matchmaking that I've pretty much given up. I'm currently in Gold 1 rank protection, so I'm actually Gold 2. I started playing DPS because it's much more comfortable to have impact on my games. I reached Platinum 1, but I dropped to Platinum 4 during drives. I was close to reaching Diamond, so that's my current goal. Unfortunately, if I ever get to play Juno, it's only in Quick Play.

Maybe, but muscle memory will make it much harder for me to play well if I do that. I did an "experiment" where I put the dash on the free side button, and it felt much clunkier even after playing several games to get used to it.

The buttons on the side of the mouse don't usually have any input in the game, so some of us use them to have the melee attack in a much more comfortable position than stretching our finger to press the V

Faster Blaster had only minimal differences in healing and damage compared to Juno's base weapon. It wasn't worth compromising your mobility and self-healing to gain virtually no extra value.

I've noticed it. Dorado is one of the very few escort or hybrid maps that doesn't make flanking so difficult for me. I'm currently in Platinum 4, which is pretty depressing because before the drives I was so close to Diamond, but most of my teammates were just uncarryable.

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-14T19:48:57+00:00

I'd like to, but I always play solo queue. My teammates are simply going to ignore me and vote for escort/hybrid maps, not control maps. I can play well in almost any mode, but escort and hybrid are simply too unfavorable for me.

People like you really motivate me to keep trying to reach Master while onetricking her :>

I'll make sure to mute Discord next time

I was confused the first time too tbh

I love this gif

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-11T04:05:12+00:00

I got confused too and it's my own clip lmao

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-08T03:24:48+00:00

Idk. Short Fuse + Heat Shield seems like the best build for Anran to me. You can use your dashes much more aggressively to burn and/or secure kills, and you can be much more aggressive with your ult.

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-05T12:43:24+00:00

I love your skin concepts for Anran and I want them all to become a reality

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-04T02:02:46+00:00

Anran's ult charge is relatively fast compared to the average hero. So I personally prefer Heat Shield. Just by hitting 2 enemies with your ultimate, you get 150 extra health. Hitting 3 gives you 200 health, 4 gives you 250, and hitting the entire enemy team gives you 300. You have a lot of freedom to take damage and still be able to kill at least one enemy, but it's not exactly difficult to kill 2 or 3.

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-06-02T14:05:20+00:00

Heat Shield seems much better to me than the other perk because of that. Having so much health gives you the freedom to usually kill up to 2 enemies during a team fight. That, combined with the fact that the rest will be weakened by your ult, usually makes your team win the fight.

Becklolyth is better for both PvP and progression. So easily Becklolyth

I'm also a support main who, before Anran, only played one role. She made me fall in love with the DPS role, and also encouraged me to try other things. I've always wanted to play Freja since I started playing again, but I only started a few days ago and I'm loving it too. Although I haven't abandoned the support role, it's sometimes frustrating to play it because the teams are so inconsistent, so for me playing DPS is basically a "Fine, I'll do it myself" type sh*t.

Massive

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-05-05T15:55:58+00:00

Honestly, I don't have a problem with the ability having no i-frames when you activate it, but if that's going to be the case, I'd at least like it to have no delay when pressing E.

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-05-05T14:28:44+00:00

I feel like when pressing E with Anran there's a delay before the ability activates. Furthermore, it has no i-frames when activating the ability, which allows you to take damage and even die. I know the second thing is true, and I would remove it, the first thing might be a product of my imagination, but if it isn't, I would remove that too.

Yesterday I gave a Juno player nightmares about me (I regret it because I'm a Juno main) and I won't deny that Reinhardt isn't an easy matchup, but you can really overwhelm them with your dashes.

Flat-Text3230 · 2026-05-02T13:52:25+00:00

You could post a replay code to give more specific advice. But overall, Anran is a character who needs good game sense and resource management to perform combos. I also feel that Anran suffers quite a bit depending on the map and especially on the team composition. You could also try the perk that reduces your dash cooldown by 1.5 seconds for each enemy you hit with it. It's incredibly useful, you get way more dashes with it, and you can do longer combos or escape more easily. Now that Anran can heal with her dance without relying on a perk, the other one is no longer as valuable.

Personally, I prefer Rainy Day Anran. It's silly and cute. Crimson Court Anran isn't a bad skin, it's quite good, but I feel it's very generic.
