Smoulder perk sucks
Why do people keep picking the smoulder perk (ignited engines burn for 1.5s longer)? Anran has weak fire damage DOT compared to other heroes that ignite (ashe, illari, etc.). the DOT of this perk is only an increase of like 25 damage. sure, this gives your more of a window to follow up with right click, but it is already easy to light people on fire with headshots, poke and then flank, etc. her heat shield (overhealth) perk is so much stronger. it allows you to fit her aggressive and slimey plays style so much better. whether you’re self reviving (in the rare case it’s valuable) or going for a deep ult, you get an initial +50 hp regardless, plus x50 amount of overhealth per enemy hit. think, if you ult into 2 people, you’re already at 400hp and all the enemies you hit are burning. you are practically a mini tank for a few seconds and can do insane damage output, granted you do not get hindered or they get cleansed. if you have your cooldowns ready for when you ult with this perk there is no doubt you can get at least a 2K+ and disrupt their backline. i am a solo queue masters Anran and would like to hear any counter arguments if you have any to maybe change my mind. thanks 🚒🚒🔥🔥
