So… like, when is Ana going to get a grappling hook or something so she can be on the high ground where she’s suppose to be. I literally see no point in having a sniper riffle if you press right click and you can see the micro organisms on your teams backs.
And it’s funny how her hero info video if you press F1 shows she’s on the high ground demonstrating how her biotic rifle works in temple of Anubis, but who has the the time to walk all the way up there or try to figure out how to parkour up there while you’re team mates are busy dying because you’re trying to figure out how to get on the high ground, but oh wait? If you isolate your self the only thing you have is a sleep dart that if you miss means you die so it’s better to just stand behind your team mates. Because that’s what a sniper is suppose to do. Overwatch logic yall.

Some form of movement ability or passive healing would be great for Ana.

Not really. Ana is not Widowmaker.
Widow is meant to take a high position and hold angles while being a threat.
Ana has a different play style. She needs to be constantly on the move with her tanks and rarely has an opportunity to sit in one spot for long. As a Support, she is a high priority target and has to keep moving around to keep the enemy from collapsing on her. Run and gun.

Then why does she have a sniper rifle WHYYYYYYYY, if she’s going to be moving with her tanks it makes absolutely no sense. Isn’t a sniper suppose to be long distance recon assist?
I googled what a sniper does and this is what came up.
A sniper is a highly trained soldier who specializes in shooting targets with modified rifles from incredibly long distances. They’re also adept in stealth, camouflage, infiltration, and observation techniques.
Notice the words incredibly long distances.

Yeah, she’s an in awkward spot. Between being able to miss your heals and only having access to conventional high ground, you’re better off standing right behind your tanks with a sniper rifle.

Maybe give her a limited form of invisibility or stealth? Hmmm

I’d be great if Ana could heal Pharah as well as Mercy, but in the process of dodging enemy fire I am also dodging Ana’s shots. A sniper makes a pretty awful healer, go figure.

Is it even possible for Ana to parkour up there? Yeah she need some mobility. A sniper that’s at her best when hugging the tanks is just weird.

If she stays on higher ground, far from her team, she’s gonna be a worse healer; that grenade is gonna be a pain to toss at far away teammates.

For Ana, the only form of mobility we have seen (kinda) is in the newest highlight intro - the backflip. Since they are giving that to Hanzo, I very much doubt they will give it to Ana too.
The idea of camouflage is very interesting though! I personally would rather have that than mobility.
To heck with it, let’s just give her the ability to call in Jetpack Cat to pick her up and fly her around the map. Justice rains from above!

I suggested the cammouflage ability long time ago. It fits well with some of her skins.
The problem is making this ability different to Sombra’s Stealth. Sombra has cooldown and speedup effect while invisible, and she can not fire. Also, she is detected if receive damage.
I would make Ana camoflauge a passive ability which triggers after some seconds holding a position and cancels upon movement. It would be fine to ambush enemys with your sleepdart or grenade, or to hold your position safely until your team come back from spawn.

I wish she got a grappling hook that propelled her out of the match and automatically switched her with another healer.
I do not like that. I do not say that Ana should not be buffed somehow, I just do not think this is the way to go about it.
Ana is more about planning ahead and set herself in the right spot to begin with. I like that Widow and Ana both have a unique playstile. The most I would give her as far as movement go is kind of a roll or a jump to cover.
Even then I do not think buff should be seen for ana as a movement buff. Maybe simply enable Ana to headshot both for damage and heals could be nice.

She needs a shield. She isn’t some genetically enhanced super freak like the majority of the cast, she’s an old woman who’s staying in shape by fighting, but that’s it. Give her the Symmetra treatment and have a split of 100/100 so that she has self-sustain.
What if her Biotic Grenade also enhances speed and jump height for the 4 seconds it’s active? Would give her more utility for her team, and also more agility for herself when she needs it. (buuuut, kinda intrudes on Lucio’s speed aura, doesn’t it?)
