I’d say a healing passive and maybe a grappling hook? I wouldnt mind if granny can shimada climb even if she is old, can be explained like she injected nanos to her body, thats why shes strong enough to climb.
But I remember that the reason they arent buffing Ana so hugely is for her to still maintain a weakness in her kit. But Im cool if granny can naruto climb.
And why does Ana need this weakness?
She doesn’t have particularly large or reliable healing anymore.
Her damage isn’t all that great.
And even her Ult is kinda meh compared to Valkyrie.
Balance is relative, and she isn’t strong enough compared to Moira/Mercy to justify all these weaknesses.
I dunno, you’d have to ask the developer.
Im guessing what they meant was that with all that she has, they dont want her to have mobility added to her to keep her niche. Theoratically, she has CC, can stop heals and snipe from afar. Good in theory, but not as impressive in practise.
Her healing is okay, just that recent metas never favor her. Barriers and dive arent Ana’s cup of tea. H
Same, I feel like her ult feels a little underwhelming as well. I feel like if shes not getting mobility, she should at least get SOMETHING to compete with Moira/ Mercy/
Seems like Jeff/Geoff thought sleep dart was supposed to be enough of a self-peel tool.
However that doesn’t do you much good against high mobility heroes with small hitboxes.
Or against more than 1 enemy at a time.
It’s also on a lengthy 12 second cooldown, and requires high skill to use.
That’s not even the problem anymore.
A lot of heroes have access to defensive tools.
Mei’s wall and ice block, Reaper’s Wraith form, Rein’s shield, Moira’s fade, Brigitte’s shield, Genji’s deflect, Dva’s Defense matrix, Orisa’s barrier and Fortify, Winston’s bubble, Zarya’s bubble, Sym’s barrier (getting removed now)
And don’t even get me started on other forms of CC cancelling it in it’s trajectory because favor the shooter favors the enemy’s CC over yours, as yours has a wind up animation.
These include; Flashbang, Hook, Hack, EMP, Shieldbash, Freeze, Rocket punch, Earth shatter and unorinically, another Sleepdart.
Adjusted some numbers.
20% and 20%, because 0.8x speed vs 1.2x speed is actually 50% relative speed
Where as 30% and 30% is 100% relative speed.
