…and put Ana abusers back to their well deserved bronze rank.
Ana is a grossly overpowered hero and she is the reason other supports have to be completely broken in order to be ever played over her. She’s responsible for the healing creep of the game and even when she isn’t being played the threat of her power looms in the background and dictates comps. That is a big reason Double shield is so necessary now and why DVA used to be permaran. Her raw healing is inane, anti is insane, sleep is insane, nano is insane, her hitbox is insane. People are only okay with this because she takes skill. And even then, the skill she takes is overrated.
Again
Her sleepdart hitbox is absurdly large and removes people from the map, takes zero skill to land
Her E button wins you fights without using your brain or mouse properly
She has no hitbox
She enables most cancerous comps, imagine playing on 2cp against nanoblade.
Never a bad pick since her release
Her healing hitboxes on someone like zarya are as big as roadhog
Ways to nerf her:
Tweak her hitbox, support players deserve to get oneclipped if they have bad movement. Imagine Ana and Widowmaker hitboxes being swapped, seems pretty fair to me compared to impact/takes skill to use ratio!
Nerf her healing.
Reduce impact of her E ability, make her sleepdart possible to dodge.
Any other ideas? Not asking opinion of Ana players, they will moan even if Blizzard reduces her healing by 5.

look look i agree tht ana is overpowered…but…i think this is a tad too much…
for what id do to her…
id personally nerf her antinade, you cant nerf its cooldown because that would impact anas survivability way too much, so id personally look at either reducing the duration of the antiheal, Or reducing the total antiheal value from 100% to 75-50% then rebalance its duration accordingly

I really don’t want them to touch anti, sometimes it’s necessary to break thorugh certain comps. What they should do is add more cleanses, it’s stupid that only a tank can cleanse another player. Give a cleanse to either Mercy, Moira or Baptiste (maybe even two of them) and there will be much more counterplay.

i do think the game needs more antiheal in general for that reason,
however, not 100%, i kinda tried to give it to genji back then before he got buff
overall this game needs more “anti-x” abilities, allow the players to take control of the matches in their own hands
Too much barrier? anti barrier
too much heal? anti heal
too much damage? dmg mitigation (not barriers)
too much CC? anti cc

My dream is that Mercy gets a cleanse on her reload key and that Moira could burst her heal orb for an AoE cleanse.
Sigh One can dream…

i dont think Cleanse fits moira very well…mercy totally, which is kind of my original suggestion for her before 55hps,
a F skill that she throws her spear for a burst 50-75 heal aoe + cleanse or 75 instant dmg

This makes me feel like you haven’t actually played Ana or know how it feels to use this ability. Unless you use it on a tank it is not easy to land and teammates can wake them up with a single point of damage.
Maybe if Blizz would stop nerfing any healer that starts to rise to the top Ana wouldn’t be used so much.
I could see them fixing her hitbox and adding additional cleanses to the game but otherwise we don’t need to keep nerfing supports especially as DPS heroes continue to be buffed.

yeah i guess bap can have it
zen should have it too on Trans, ana antinading a whole ult shouldnt happen

Nono, Anti Heal is the one decent counter to Trans, definitely want to keep it.
eh we have very little defensive ults as it is tbh, maybe if we had more it would be okay, but we dont, the only other option is lucio

personally I would remove the nano healing, people have some absolute gall to complain that there is too much healing in this game but defend ana, the already uncontested queen of burst healing getting 250 hp instant health on top of all the other benefits nano provides
shes ale been the number 1 support from bronze to gm ever since getting it and was completely undeserved in classic blizz style

We fix that by giving Bap a new ult. 
Seriously, would anyone miss his current one? It makes Valkyrie extremely fun in comparison.

tbh i enjoy the few times i pop it in front of our widow and she just shots the enemy roadhog lmao
Sleep dart is hard to hit. Anti-nade is hard to hit & follow-up.
Not to mention it gets a lot harder the more you go up the ladder.
On the flip-side, you gotta decide when to use it offensively/defensively. You potentially leave yourself open, but then when you save it for yourself- can you also hit the shots?

For some reason I temembered that team fight I accidentally nanoed our Mercy, swore thinking I lost us the fight… and she killed half the enemy team and thanked me after.

oh and, i think baptiste shouldnt get a defensive ult because of IF, immoratlity field is basically a defensive ult on a cooldown, to be honest, so i think bap is pretty okay on that front
I just want a new one period. I’ve seriously played with people who never bothered to use it because it’s so boring…
It can be really good when used well
the other day i started playing support over tank and its so much more fun, its like having the ability to pop off and defend your team while not having the responsability and frustrating of playing tank (aka reinhart) and the chain CC lol
i saved sooo many people as Bap
Not true, anyone who plays dps knows that her sleepdart is easy to hit, even easier than landing bodyshots with widowmaker
