Ana doesn't just have low self heal. She has NONE

One aspect of our heroes that is very important is that they all have various strengths and weaknesses. This is a core aspect of what makes teamplay so important in Overwatch. If you have an Ana on your team, this gives you certain advantages such as being able to be healed from very long range, having a more offensive-favored ultimate, and having the ability to disable healing on enemies (which can be especially vital against heroes that really rely on healing such as Roadhog). That said, she also brings her own weaknesses that must be managed, such as low mobility and lower self-healing. A team may opt to run Brigitte or Lucio with Ana to help peel attackers off of her, for example.

The problem is that Ana doesn’t have lower self healing. She has none at all.

Using the grenade doesn’t qualify as “self healing” as it’s being defined in this context: healing yourself without the use of activated abilities.

Ana’s lugging around a gun full of healing darts, why not give her a passive that heals her when she reloads? For every dart left in the clip, she gets a point of healing. This preserves her weakness of having low self-healing, but it lets her recover when she’s out of combat.

Brigitte and Lucio are close-range brawling heroes. Ana was intended to be a long-range healer. If Ana is playing in her intended range and she gets jumped, even if Brigitte/Lucio successfully peel for her she is almost always be forced to use her grenade during/after the scuffle, so she recover in time to get back to doing her job.

Ana needs a way to recover without using her grenade sefishly.
