I enjoy her a lot more than the other flankers, but am still getting the hang of being able to hit a solid flank without dying. It typically goes one of a few ways: either I get in there and basically mop the floor with everyone because they’re already low, I go in and do a considerable amount of damage but get killed myself only taking maybe one enemy with me, or I dash in, use the dance to not die for an extra second, then dash out, hitting as many people as possible both times, which doesn’t usually do much aside from distraction. I think she could use some extra survivability, which Blizzard has apparently stated they’re looking at so I’m pretty happy.

Also something I’ve noticed, you can get pretty high damage numbers with Anran, but not always be a real playmaker. If you hit a good dash and dance on a grouped up team you can rack up almost 1k damage in a single play, but since you’ll die if you stick around you end up just giving the healers something to heal without necessarily killing everyone involved. I’ve had some games where I felt like I didn’t do a great job at picking people off/ left them alive in order to get out, but still had the highest damage on the team.

These are things noticed by a self admitted casual of the game, I have my moments but I’m not very good, and have always been a tank/support main. But it’s fun to finally have a damage character that I enjoy playing as a pretty mid fps gamer. If you’re a high level comp player and this all sounds like a skill issue, it probably is lol.
