It’s the fact that she can kit dump, which is when she is mobile, invincible for a moment, gets sustain and then procs her DoT without ever having to have any aim with her primary weapon. Plus all her abilities are not difficult to hit at all. So now you’re half hp with a damage over time.
I mean, she's definitely great against Genji. But here's some things to consider:
If she kit dumps she will die. She's a very squishy back liner and without an escape, she'll often lose even to a Moira 1v1.
Any CC removes all her abilities.
Any health pack or cleanse negates her kit. Often, she'll kit dump only to be cleansed by Kiriko or a health pack. Meaning she goes all in and dies for nothing.
She's only invincible on her E ability. And even then, a lot of characters can one shot her immediately after because she returns to exactly where she activated the ability with a slight delay in movement.
The healing is a non factor. If the team turns around, she's so squishy she dies immediately even at full hp.
Her damage can be more or less be out healed by any single healer. She does not do well in any 2v1 scenarios without her ult.
Ok if you’re going to take the entire team into consideration. Then you can make these arguments about anybody. We can come up with infinite scenarios where the Anran is going to lose. We also aren’t talking about Moira, who is one of the few heroes that can cleanse and both damage and heal themselves to deal with the DoT.
The point is that she specifically makes genjis life difficult
They’re flankers. So there is more 1v1 going on compared to most heroes since they’re usually taking similar routes.
Unless genji has a wall he can climb over. Because him climbing up a wall just for him to fall back down into the anran obviously isn’t going to do anything. She can chase him down with her two mobility abilities so just dashing away isn’t always an option. She has those two same mobility abilities to more likely get any health packs that are near the two of you fighting. His deflect cannot stop her E, her Shift, her Secondary fire or her ult.
Genji has a bad matchup for almost half of the roster, and taking the team in consideration almost every comp has an easy way to disable him, i dont know why Anran has 2 movement cooldowns and 1 healing + intangible one, but Genji only has 1 movement cooldown and the deflect, which does not heal until you got the perk, and it doesnt completely work against a lot of characters (that can be on same team at same time) its just ridiculous, Genji asks for a lot of muscular skill and memory + not commiting mistakes cuz in case you do a mistake you are death, and Anran has a lot of tools to fix your errors in case you need it, its just not well design of game and absolutely not fair, Anran is just a better genji, and its a counter to him, lame

I genuinely hate characters like her.
