Ana is literally unplayable

[Breenori-2988]

I have about 100h on Ana, about 70 of that in comp. Had around 75% acc and shut down ults quite frequently. You still have less impact on the games unless you utilize every moment to hit sleep and nade. And even if you hit all the shots you’re far away from Moira and Mercy’s heal. Why make the effort when you’re being outperformed without them even moving a finger.

Bonus material to show what’s wrong with balancing rn:

@GeoffGoodman

When we want to buff a hero, sometimes it can be the right call reduce these weaknesses. For example, if a weakness is just too overbearing or a hero just has too many weaknesses compared to their strengths. But more often we would rather amplify a heroes strengths and make the hero just better at what they do, which leaves their weaknesses still around for enemies to exploit and for allies to try to manage.

Ana has overbearing weaknesses. Tons of them.

• No mobility
• No selfheal
• Useless if there are shields
• Can’t defend herself (Hard to hit abilities and M1, especially on flankers, given they are somewhat skilled)

Or other problems:

• No pre-heal anymore and therefor no answer to burst-damage on squishies
• She’s a sniper which can’t get to a sniper position

And here comes the funny point

Hanzo didn’t have too many weaknesses, but an unfun ability. People cried and he got buffed in so many ways in just a single patch.
When we Ana mains headed to the forum for wanting mobility or selfheal we were laughed at and told that it would remove her weakness and every hero needs them, according to Geoff Goodman. I understand that much. BUT! Why was Hanzo given a mobility ability ADDITIONALLY to all the other major buffs making him more viable and EVEN THOUGH it’s removing his defining weakness? This is Hypocrisy at it’s finest.
