Give Ana an “I need help”,"Cover me."voiceline.She has the Voiceline “I got your back”,"I have you covered. ".But who’s got her back?Who’s got her covered?
It appears the Devs think Ana is able to take care of herself.And they couldn’t be more wrong.So a huge QOL change would be to give her the voiceline.
And no Ana didn’t get any with the new patch.You’re mistaking her for “Zenyatta, Lúcio, and Moria.”
I just get on coms and scream " I NEED AN ADULT "
But Mercy doesn’t even have an ‘I Need help’ voiceline.
The thing that makes me laugh about this is that both Mercy and Moira have them now
Yet they have an infinitely easier time escaping danger than Ana
It plays automatically when she takes damage
they added such voicelines … also for zen.
ivr heard they are on ptr.
She says it automatically if you’re getting dove…
I went thru all her voicelines and there is not a single one that indicates that she’s getting attacked and needs help ASAP. And these are all Mercy’s:
Help me!
I’m being attacked!
I’m under attack!
I could use some assistance!
Get them off me!
They’re all over me!
Cover me!
Ich brauche Hilfe!
I’m starting to truly believe they don’t like Ana…
They only added voicelines for Zenyatta, Lúcio, and Moria.
Well I mean
I think they think people don’t like her as much as Mercy, but everyone I know would rather Ana be more playable since she’s actually fun to play
It really feels like a double standard. Look how hard the nerfs to Ana were back in 3 Tank, and then look how long it’s taken to tone Mercy down after that disaster of a rework
Mercy has been so strong, that she literally overshadowed another main healer’s release with her rework, yet Ana has been left in a poor state for so long
Oh I know! I recently updated a posted I made awhile back talking about how their balancing logic doesn’t make sense. I have been begging for Ana to have a passive heal in a skillful way like…
15 HPS for every shot she lands on teammates. We can’t get something as simple as that which helps rewards skill and helps with one of her weaknesses.
But no…we don’t get that. On top of that they give these QoL voicelines for every other healer in the game except Ana the support who defenses themselves the worst among any another support in the game. It’s mind boggling.
Then when you read the PTR developer comments about Ana’s kit it just pissed me off more because this great kit that she has isn’t being used because its weak even though it sounds so good on paper. The indirect nerfs keep piling up as the game changes more and more.
I don’t want to wait a year or two for them to admit we are right.
Don’t worry, when Hammond hits the scene people will hopefully realize that even with the Nanoboost buff she’s still useless to play
It’s the same cycle every time they give Ana a buff that doesn’t solve her main problem of self-sustain
People see she might have use, lots of people jump on (Because people actually LIKE to play Ana) realize the buff didn’t do anything, then swap back to Mercy/ Moira
This has happened EVERY SINGLE TIME
Perhaps an alternative would be to give our favorite grandma one of those Life Alert “help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get back up” necklace things.
I remember when she got her damage back people were hyped. I was hyped then after awhile I said to myself ok her damage needs to go back to 80. This DOT still moves too slow even though I can three shot again.
I’m still upset about that Seagull Interveiw…
That should be call for help voiceline.
I can swear that granny uses a walker already. Why not get her a Life Alert pendant?
That always burns me
Why shouldn’t the higher skill cap hero be used in the higher level of play every game?
Mercy dominates from Bronze to OWL
Even at her PEAK Ana only beat Mercy from Diamond upwards
Ana was meta for at best 5-6 months
We’re at a YEAR with Mercy, TWICE the length Ana was even thought of as good
With mobility creep, the addition of two new supports, and the Lucio/ Mercy re-works Ana can’t be fixed with these weird bandaid buffs or tweeks they keep giving her
You have a problem when someone who is known to play Ana, who’s rise to fame came from Ana, and they don’t even play her anymore
Can Ana also say something like “target slept!” when she sleeps an enemy? We don’t really have much voice-chat on console and it would perhaps help people not accidentally shooting slept targets and also help teammates notice if Ana needs help dealing with a target.
Even if Mercy falls Ana has no place left in the game. Moira is just going to replace Mercy and Lucio is going to be her partner. Ana will only get played because we like her that’s it.
Seriously the sleep dart needs to be just as effective at point blank range as McCree’s Flash Bang. As is It’s a harder utility to land on anything in the game. That sorta defeats its purpose as a panic button…
Even when you do hit anything any accidental stray damage will wake the target. Waking someone should be about as tough as breaking a Symmetra turret.
Ana is literally out in the open to dive as a lamb for slaughter. She can’t run, has weak DPS, weak self heals and has to be pinpoint accurate against high mobility heroes with very low to hit requirements. Further it seems most new heroes they put out add to dive.
It once was just Winston, D.VA, Tracer and Genji. Since then they added Doomfist and Sombra; and now we have Hammond to look forward to. This and they have the audacity to say that Hammond will help Ana’s survivability. Isn’t that what they said about Sombra then later Doomfist when they came out? Now look how helpful they are.
Honestly, one of the DEVs needs to start maining Ana just so that they can feel what it is and how bad Ana actually has it in this game. They honestly seem to think she’s a hero that she’s not. They’re killing her and think that she isn’t popular to play because she isn’t liked. That too is wrong.
