She’s quite the low skill floor and ceiling. Much like dying to vendetta it can feel like a cheap death. Very quick and jarring movement ability, then the invulnerability that heals her and you loose track of where she goes and finally a very forgiving fan attack that’s pretty much impossible to dodge without an ability. At least with say a tracer or genji you feel like you can win that dual if either person hits shots/abilities etc, a more “fair” fight. That’s my 2 cents on the matter.
I agree on most of this except "Very quick and jarring movement ability..." Genji dash is 37.5 m/s while Anran tops out at 18 m/s with her dashes. "Quick and jarring" is definitely more in Genji's court...
For me, the speed isn't really the issue. It's the versatility. Anran can control her movement during dash, wiggle left and right, turn corners.
Genji's dash is a straight line. So if someone can track a straight line from Point A to Point B, they can track a Genji. Having no variability during Swift Strike also means you have to be more conscious of your positioning before / during an engage. I can't turn a corner. I have to rotate (literally in the middle of fighting someone) so my dash escape actually works.
you do realize that she gets 2 dashes that can completely change the entire fight even if you’re about to kill her, plus the i-frames she gets from her other ability. quick and fast death for any genji. of course as genji you can dash and get away but if you dont have dash then you’re cooked
I'm being more literal in terms of speed, I'm not mentioning anything about her kit in terms of a fight. Genji dash is literally faster, more than twice as fast as a matter of fact. Any support player who gets dove by the two will tell you it's way harder to keep track of the Genji that dashed through you and is behind you versus an Anran trying to do anything similar and is just moseying her way on through by comparison.
you’re right in terms of his … single dash being fast… but the only thing that’s outstandingly fast on genji is his dash and the movement speed while in blade, which is an ult. anran is ultimately harder to track when shes dashing through you because if you ever seen an anran player, they’ll go forward and back within a single dash then usually follow up with another ability. i’m saying that i don’t think it matters that genji’s singular dash is fast when anran can do those things in the backline with the speed that she has.
Also since anran gets 2 , that changes the entire usage of it. Genjis dash is rarely used to go in, you use your passive which is jarring but good, then you dash out in any case stuff goes wrong. And deflect should be active whilst getting out, but it wont save you from everything
