Ana is making me not want to play this game

Ana a million times than Brig or Bap

Replace that with Pharah and Torb.

[Bakkusōdo-1851]

I thought Brig and Bap were more fitting because they were in the same role

You can fight Bap Brig Torb Pharah all at the same time

[V1p3r-11810]

Only Sombra can fight all of them tbh. Compare that with Ana, 1 or 2 rushes by a tracer and she’s dead.

i’m so sick to death of being slept to death, every time i try and push with my team, I’ll get naded, or some rein gets nano and we have to either use every ability we can to defend against it, or we perish…

Ehm, just don’t brawl against an Ana without a shield? Problem solved.

I agree, that her anti-nade is a powerful tool. You could argue for making it into healing reduction instead of blocking healing overall. Would be a fair change imho.
Nano is far from op, since it solely depends on the dps players abilities or good positioning of your tanks to generate value. And it’s not like you can’t counter a hero with nano on him/her.
Sleep dart is fine, since it’s damn hard to hit if the enemy isn’t at point-blank range or has the hitbox of a skyscraper.

Bruh, she is by far not that powerful as you describe her. She gets punished hard for bad cooldown management, bad positioning and is very vulnerable to burst, flankers and any dive heroes. Just use one of these things to punish her, it works.

@ColdMiracle-2935

what im trying to say is for a game that champions itself on a diverse cast of heroes, it sure as hell feels like there’s a bubble around 10 heroes that are consistently a viable and good pick

This impression maybe comes from the problem of heroes distribution between roles. Currently, we have 8 Tanks, 7 healers and 17 dps. With such a small cast in tank and support you ought to see more of the same characters being played in comparison to dps.

Lets buff her with passive healing then

[Zergotto-2668]

christ almighty the victim complex is strong on this one.
Ana didn’t cause entire game systems to be reworked and she was utterly trashed for at least two years. Like, she was seen as a joke pick since she had to work twice as hard for half of the reward

[Pnutapi-2551]

Just play dva, not that much to it

[ClockworkElf-11617]

@harmicist-1221

She did get nerfed into oblivion though. She was unplayable from 2017-2018, even before the mercy rework pros were bleeding out the edges. What are you on about.

Also like as OP is a McCree main who could in fact kill ana in 2 shots or in one burst… with the stun on a MUCH smaller cooldown and a much higher pickrate relative to the role’s pool… Yikes. Not the look.

I’ve played the game since the week before Moira came out - I have never seen the game lack Ana’s presence. She might not have been “meta” all that time, but that’s not what we are talking about here. Sleep is a bit too easy to land as an ability once you get the hang of it, then its a very offensive tool. The best thing would be to limit Sleep’s range - maybe make it 20m. You don’t need to be sleeping targets across the map.

@Trilly-11672

That said, I’d be fine with the duration being nerfed by a second.

Been calling for this for a long, long time… any ability that literally has time to let Ana come up and do emotes over you is just too long.

[Meidrik-2795]

Ana’s balance need to be done through her healing grenade. Antiheal right now is far too strong because it doesn’t have any counterplay, you just have to deal with which can be pretty difficult.

The very first answer would be to allow the healing nade to clean the antiheal, so double ana (an easy one solution).

Secondly, as someone mentioned it above, would be to give to other characters an ability to clean/cure status effect like the antiheal (or burn or poison for example). I like this idea because it’ll improve things, especially among healers that could be rework in order to not just being healbots like bap’.
