Anran is our flamethrower hero

But instead of a trite flamethrower, we get fans. Much better, don’t you think? :fire:

yeah it’s what I always wanted

more kiriko play time to counter fire

I don’t even play tank but I want to see a new tank hero. It’s getting stale.

Not a great use of suzu, consdering that once you burn that everyone get’s to press q for free.

Okay am I the only seeing Blizzard having a huge thing for Avatar the last air bender?

Man I read that a Zuzu and was thinking “Wait Azula is in this now?!”

The funny part is I almost typed Zuzu too before cleaning everything up.

But yes, pretty much. I would also expect ATLA skin rerun not to long from her release.

No, I do not. Not to bash Anran or anything, I think from what little we’ve seen of her, she’s already far more interesting than her brother. But she really isn’t what I hoped for in a flamethrower hero. I wanted an actual flamethrower-wielding, homicidal maniac, walking war crime of a character, and Anran is decidedly, not that.

honestly, slap an atla logo on that anran pic and i swear it fits

Unfortunately, Damage-role heroes will not fill that archetype, you’re going to be stuck with Tanks for that, and Mauga seemed (at the time) like the best choice here; but that didn’t happen.

Knowing California is where OW2 is from, they’ll never make a pyromaniac hero.

Anran is just more subtle and sensitive to the element.

Meanwhile her leaked ult voice lines: “Scorch the sky!” So she might be releasing some like big fire ball or flame tornado/pillar.

Oops my bad I thought she’d be less of a hazard :sweat_smile:

Hazard: “Make it rain!”

Anran: “Sourch the sky!”

Result: Both looking at each other confused as their ults sizzile out do to conflicting weather.

I can see them sweating being unable rather to give it to either Kiriko or Juno.

I find it funny how retro-actively Chinese heroes defualted to elemental benders.

In the same way Japanese heroes all have some mystical yokai magic, while all the American and Canadian heroes are just gun nuts.

She’s very generic looking. Blizzard has been slipping with the character designs these days.
