Ana is just a better Ashe - Change my mind

General Discussion
1

So lets look at this objectively.
1)Nade is better then TNT - not only does it damage, and heal, it also marks someone for death.
2)Ana has no drop-off - the lack of a headshot ability just means one extra body-shot, which is not that hard of an ask.
3)Ana has no mobility options - but her defensive skill is probably the best CC ability in the game if you can land it.
4)Bob is awesome - but he’s stupidly easy to counter with sleep-dart - Nano is a total fight winner when you combo it with Visor or Blade.
5)Unlike Ashe - who only has one way of charging her Ult - Ana can also charge Ult by shooting her allies (The healing effect is a happy side-effect).

In short - The Egyptian granny is just a better overall character then albino menace.

she has slower time to kill which makes a significant difference, plus she takes up a support slot, which means she has to focus on healing.

You’re comparing a support to a DPS. The support role in general is more impactful than DPS.

Not just Ashe and Ana. Heroes should be balanced within their roles.

Also…

Ashe does 75 dmg per shot every 0.65 seconds, Ana does 70 dmg per shot every 0.8 seconds. While Ashe can headshot.

Ashe’s ultimate is also pretty strong, being able to force away the enemy’s attention or some main CCs will indicate a push for your team.

Even if this is true, you should not be only DPSing as Ana to begin with.

Why are you comparing a support to a dps?

If Ana had 2 nades, she would be a better Junkrat too. Her trap lasts longer too, and it catches you anywhere.

No need to. obviously u dont even know what u talk about. just lol :slight_smile:

If Ana could fly she would be also better then her daughter.
If Ana had 600Hp, she would be the smallest and best tank in the entire game history.

If Ana could resolve the middle eastern conflict, the world would be less in shambles.

I could go on, but thats enough trolling in a troll post from me.

Nah.

Ana is one of the best healers in the game. If she’s taking time out to do damage then there is a clear problem with match-making and your team is just steamrolling.

Doesn’t mark, just impairs healing. Biotic Grenade is problematic, however, so this is true.

Lack of headshot is due to the fact that her damage is over time - which means it ignores armor effects. Ana always does full damage regardless of target (except against Fortify-effects).

Unsurprising.

Or a variety of different heroes who can make full use of it. It’s dependent on them, though.

True, but Ashe’s dynamite has almost twice the explosive range as Biotic Grenade.

Not unusual. Supports were designed to be stronger than their Damage-role partners. Same with Tanks. There’s no 1:1 equivalency between roles here, never was and never intended.

Partially true. 1.25 shots for Ana, while 1.54 shots for Ashe. Ashe can also critically hit, but Ana shots are a little wider and a lot easier to hit.

It’s not just impactful, Ana and most Supports are intended to be stronger than their Damage-role peers.

Ana does full damage to all targets, even those with armor. Ashe does not have this luxury.

Ana does 70 to an armored target.

Ashe does 70 to an armored target.

While Ashe still has headshots and better fiterate.

It isn’t that important imo

Ashe will still do more damage, over time, than Ana. Dynamite guarantees that 100 damage over 5 seconds. Even if the refresh rate is 7 seconds vs. Ana’s 6.

In a recent stream Kephrii was playing Ana and he said that Ana’s gun is better than Ashe’s when dealing with Pharah.
