Grats! Nerfs when?
In B4 āsheās only popular because sheās OPā
Sheās popular because sheās fun IMO. Her pick rate was still high even during S1 of OW2 and donāt get me started on OW1, every support insta-picked ana back then in QP. Ana is just too much fun.
But yes sadly, her kits has become problematic in OW2 due to lack of second tank. I think she was less annoying to tank players in OW1. Except hog players, hog players always hate ana lol (for good reason).

okay but how on the level 1058 thing
You only get around 100 levels from all daily/weekly challenges.
that means they got 900 by hand
it takes about an hour to grind out a level
thereās only 1500 hours in a season
Meaning they had to play 14 hours a day
double exp couldāve shaved a bit more off, but itās still completely unhinged

Ana has the best hero design.
Fun
Rewarding
Good in close, mid, and long range
Takes skill, but isnāt too difficult to play
Solid skill ceiling
Abilities that can actually impact the outcome of a team fight/game
Fair to play and play against
Hitscan & Projectile so both types of players can enjoy her
Great personality especially when compared to most of the cast
She fills that FPS role that supports players with a background in FPS games are looking for while also being impactful.
I wish Blizzard would stop being afraid to make more support heroes like Ana, the last two has been quite disappointing.

I canāt even imagine how utterly depressed and purposeless someone would have to be to reach 1,058 tiers in one battle pass.

Wow, congratulations to ex-forum poster Roly on reaching level one thousand and fifty-eight on the battle pass! You did it, you mad lad!

Pickrate is not always a sign of a hero being OP

There has only been a handful of times when a hero has reached 99% pickrate on overbuff, and every single time it has been because the hero is monstrously op.

True but ana is literally the stringest hero in the game because you have to play her into her or you have no counter to her extra healing

illari is pretty similar
I have >1000 hours on Ana and sheās the only other support I like playing
Very funny to see so many people surprised by Anaās pickrate. Ya the strongest hero in the game that sees little changes is the top. Weāve known this all year.

Iām genuinely surprised that Ana is the most-played hero and not a more casual hero instead.
In other news water is still wet.
They make them that way so to not tread on Anaās shoes. Last time Baptiste got to her level of pick rate and win rate he got nerfed down real hard.
Kiriko saw play because she countered Ana, then got sledgehammered with nerfs because of it.
Lifeweaver was a misfire because they felt his kit needed more weaknesses when his mid at most.
Then thereās Illari who got her round of nerfs but not so much ābecause we need to sell battle passes with her.ā

The only character that has the ability to block healing in a game where there is too much healing is the most played. Iām shocked.
