Anran release patchnotes predictions

Anran feels SO much less annoying than Vendetta. She’s not annoying at all imo. It’s wonderful. Thankyothankyou we can all enjoy her in peace (When Vendetta isn’t ruining the lobby of course. It was so nice early on in the trial when everyone was picking Anran instead. Then people realized that they couldn’t turn their brains off and get results as her so a lot of them returned to Vendetta)

However, I do think she could use a couple of adjustments. Not a flat buff, definitely not a flat nerf, but a powershift I guess. Just ironing some things out

So here’s what I can see–

  • Bring her HP down to 225. I think she’s mobile enough to warrant it
  • Buff her burn damage? Or her Fan the Flames damage, since she actually has to get close for that

What I DON’T want to see is any nerfs to her mobility. She seems to be intended as an agile hero with somewhat lower damage to compensate, and kind of a combo hero. Infinitely cooler and classier than Vendetta asdfghjkl; that THING can’t get gutted and burned in the dumpster quickly enough. Also unlike Vendetta, Anran is likeable as a character. Lovable, even. Wishing her the best balance patch luck :heart_hands:

I’ve only played with her in the practice range but I agree that she’s a lot of fun without feeling too cheesy.

I think she mainly needs a projectile speed buff so she can more reliably get the burn off during neutral, and then punish with fan. I’d like to also see a slight fan range increase or maybe dmg increase and I think 225 would be a fair compensation considering she has two dashes and an iframe button

This has been my one complaint with her so far. Her m1 feels pretty bad unless you’re in close range. Not sure how strong or not she is balance wise yet.

I don’t agree with her projectile speed increase. I think OP is right. Decrease HP since she has high mobility, and invincible button. Not to mention she can self revive using ult. Then slightly increase fan damage.
