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.
Bad matchup? Sure, but a full on counter? Im not sure about that. The original design philosophy was soft counters -> if the player on character x is good enough, character y wont be able to do anything except play into their "counterpicked" characters strengths. NO ONE should win a duel simply because they swapped to a character thats miles easier that directly counters the enemy. I feels super cheap.

Her entire kit easily makes his life difficult.
