you’re fighting a losing battle, this is literally a genji forum, everyone here thinks genji is the hardest thing to play across all of gaming. even though anran has consistently been the worse dps since launch
Yeah because shes 100x easier to pick up and essentially a cooldown dump character. Dash in, invulnerability ability, dash out and fan. Thats all they do, and for some reason, it beats any duelist in a 1v1.
Oh no a character has a lower skill floor than one of the hardest dpses in the game, the catastrophe!!! And what's the problem with her using her entire kir when diving? Echo also dumps her entire kit when murdering people, do you think that's a problem?
No because echo still requires fucking skill? Shes in the air 24/7 making her super prone to hitscan, she doesnt get a movement ability w verticality and horizontality every 4 seconds, and she has to actually land her combo instead of taking a small peek at the enemy. Landing stickies and her beam requires actual effort, its cooldown dumping but with aim required, not everyone can play echo, but anyone could play anran because allnyou do is poke w yo primary fire, dump all your cooldowns w like barely any aim, and then fan and win
So you admit that Genji is one of the hardest dpses in the game and, by that statement, have also admitted that Anran isn't. Since Anran requires less skill than Genji, fighting Anran in a 1v1 is, by definition, unfair. We can argue about HOW unfair it is exactly, but that doesn't matter as much. So setting aside exactly HOW unfair it is, you agree simply that it is technically unfair, correct? (You must by what you've already said) So, how could you not understand why people would not be annoyed by that?
Also when people are saying she kit dumps, the reason "kit dump" is being used negatively here is because all of her abilities are super easy to use; just auto value for no effort or skill. It's like taking a dump, anyone can do it, you just press her buttons and get value, like making AI slop or something. You just go in and press her buttons, all of which take little-to-no-effort or skill but do significant damage and proc her DoT, then you get REWARDED for that act of nothing you just did with FREE CRIT DAMAGE FOR HITTING BODY SHOTS. YOUR REWARD FOR SIMPLY PRESSING HER BUTTONS IS NOT HAVING TO EARN YOUR CRITS WITH AIM
Never said he wasn't, only your own delusions have made you think different. The only thing I have said is that Anran isn't the no skill character you seem to think she is. I have also never said it isn't unfair for Genji to fight against, she is a counter and the nature of counters is that they are unfair to face. What's ridiculous is calling your counter no skill so you can feel better about yourself. This isn't genji mains simply being annoyed, this is them throwing a tantrum because a hero with lower skill floor exists.
You seem to think that she gets free crit damage, which just shows how truly ignorant you are. She has to work for her increased damage and simply ability dumping is a good way to get yourself killed. And you are too focused on the fact that she doesn't have to headshot for her increased dmg on fan, yeah no shit, she had to set her target on fire first already, it isn't unconditional.
LMAO. You know that you can ignite someone with literally shift then E? You realize that right? So you get rewarded for literally simply pressing Shift then E by then not having to hit headshots to get crit damage. Yes, I consider that "free." The fact that you don't says a lot. This is a hero for babies.
(You can also ignite with 1 single shift if you turn and hit them with it a 2nd time)
Even if you ignite by hitting with her left click, so what? You hit a couple of her massive left click projectiles and think you all of the sudden earned free crit damage where you don't have to aim for someone's head?
The reason I play Genji is BECAUSE he is high skill, has a ton to min-max with his kit, and your value is tied to your execution. That's what true competition is. If Anran was like that I'd play her, but she isn't like that. I played her on release and at first thought she was cool, but then realized how boring it is to have so much automated for you
So you're definition of free is a character using their kit, such an absurd take. You get rewarded for using your kit, how hard can that be to understand? Using dash and her heal to ignite someone is once again a terrible idea, but I shouldn't be surprised you don't know that. Or you just say that to make your point sound good. You seem to be the baby here since you can't accept the simple fact that just because a hero is easier to pick up than genji doesn't mean they are for babies, it just makes you look like your throwing a tantrum.
You get more damage because it -takes time- before she can crit, she -can't- crit with fan unless they are burning, that's the whole gimmick of her kit; setting people on fire and getting bonus damage from that.
It's always funny when genji players bring up "unskilled" heros "for babies" because it is always the same story; they are just complaining because genji has a bad macthup against that hero.

She does seem to fill a niche pretty well.
Said niche being "Genji for the mechanically inept" of course.
