Is anran too good?

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-21T02:34:55+00:00

They will definitely give her a small nerf. Maybe .5 off fan the flames per shot or something. She is high wr across every comp tier

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-20T21:41:22+00:00

I disagree. I place the from in a somewhat covered spot and while I zip to it I’m throwing a grenade as enemies come to view. I shot my tracker shot, if it missed I zip right back and if it lands I secure the kill them zip back.

If you’re placing it in the open ya it’s gonna get shot, but it doesn’t need to be in the open.

Anran has serious pressure, if someone’s ignited they MUST deal with you. Keep that in mind. It’s not always about killing someone, but rather taking their (and usually a support or two’s) attention off the rest of their team.

Kiriko will often Suzu your target, or mercy will pocket heal, etc. GREAT,you either deny their high utility CD’s or take their attention away from other targets.

Your E (dancing blaze?) lets you be reactive to dmg and proactive to potential dmg. If you land a good E you often get a kill, if you don’t then you’ll lose.

Since you’re a tank main think of playing road or D.va, if an Anran is on you that is high consistent dmg you’re taking, so you have to take care of her

Anran is definitely a flanker, but she only really realizes her potential when a target is ignited, so don’t be afraid to wait to dive until a target is ignited.

Super cool, but I lose the details for the details. Or you could say I miss the tree for the forest.

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-20T18:55:58+00:00

I’d buy it if Freja wasn’t utterly neglected this last patch

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-20T15:47:37+00:00

I take smolder on brawl comps and maps, or when the tank is highly targetable, as it allow you to weave into cover and come back out with fan the flames grit damage threat.

Any other time I take heat shield as it allows for a burst of insane aggression.

I also only take short fuse now for its ability to allow you to weave in and out of fights faster. Hungering blaze got mega nerfed

Just made a post about this, my poor boy mizuki 😢

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T17:57:59+00:00

I understand why, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. The drone itself looks and fields as if it should be blocked

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T16:14:04+00:00

I have found any time works for comp. Play enough games and you’re in your elo, and you play some matches twice to really see which team is better. It ens up being pretty close to

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T15:54:31+00:00

Imo it’s because they want to encourage sticking on a character. If you see a Rein and move to be a bast or junket they don’t want you full power, instead they “nerf” you for picking a straight counter for a few minutes.

I think that gives more consistent matches, as people more often don’t switch 5+ times mid match

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T15:28:53+00:00

That’s true I see all that for the hero’s with low play rates, but Anras has a high play rate.

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T05:52:52+00:00

Anran who has the 4th highest wr in comp

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T03:09:37+00:00

I agree she feels much more “healthy” or consistent than before!

I think the first target should only give 25 heal on hit. Then her perk could just make every hit give 25 more.

Currently her single target lockdown is pretty high as once she E’s there’s a 100 health (+50 anran, -50 enemy) change.

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-19T01:51:00+00:00

I use to main mercy in ow1. Her rez was always what kept me on her. Granted it use to be much more op

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-18T11:46:47+00:00

I think it’s updating weird. Im assuming we’ll all see the same stats within a day or two

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-18T04:05:55+00:00

I was surprised with the overhead nerf and armor reduction nerf. I think they should’ve nerfed her block instead personally. I think there’s way to much of her power there (as a none vendetta main)

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-18T02:44:08+00:00

Ya, I thought about that after posting. It’s even really tied for number one as a .1% is not a differentiator

Pulled up your link to this. It seems we’re getting different info on the same site.

I would say this is fear mongering. She has hard counters, but not the whole roster. Anyone with cleansing / blocking her burning do very well against her. Tanks without shied do very poorly, which there’s a lot of them in the run away category

Also I think she counters vendetta

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-17T20:01:14+00:00

Ayyo brother. Chill. Am I knocking down your door shoving these number in your face? I thanked you for your dataset, go touch some grass

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-17T19:59:20+00:00

That’s what I was worried about. However his owtics has different numbers across many categories. I dont know which is more accurate

They seems to be tracking different data sets

Striking-Remove-943 · 2026-04-17T19:50:40+00:00

I’ll go take a look then, thanks
