Been seeing a lot of “nerf Ana” threads and many of them come from other supports and some tanks.
Just wanna get it out there that this Genji one trick here doesn’t think Ana should be nerfed one bit (and not because nanoblade).
She’s just a support that takes skills and that should be rewarded with sitting at the top of support hero selection.
Wanna nerf support? I suggest nerfing Moira some more. Leave Ana alone.
Above masters, Ana is legit the only playable support. If we don’t nerf her, buff Moira/Bap. I’m sick of having to play Ana every game. She’s not fun for me. Also, I wouldnt exactly call spamming M1 on your Rein and throwing E into their team very difficult.
NO ONE NEEDS NERFS
except you Mei, frick you <3
Well, there’s your fallacy.
Overwatch can’t be balanced around who takes more mechanical skill is always the most powerful.
It would alienate a ton of their player base – OW has always been more team work focused than mechanical skill focused.
I’m totally fine with Ana but pointing out you’re playing a DPS that she is almost mandatory for you to succeed is not helping your argument
I agree with this, she requires skill to get reward for her kit. Nerfing her likely means Bap or Moira become the top support again and then the cycle continues of “Nerf Bap! Nerf Moira!”. They both got nerfed and she came out on top, what did they expect to happen?
Ana needs nerfs to her grenade. It is too bloated with effects.
Moira, Brigitte, Lucio, and Mercy all see play in GM. Only Zen gets much grief. I play Baptiste and only sometimes get grief, which is surprising since he’s statistically VERY bad.
They all have around 1-2% pick rates, while Ana is whopping 16%.
And most of my games people beg me to go Ana the moment we lose if I’m not playing her or Lucio.
But CC is bad, and Ana has the longest hard CC in the game. Nerf.
Ana is the pinnacle of balance of a support, mercy, zen, and bap all need buffs to reach her level and Moira needs a healing buff but major damage nerf and then they’re good
Pointing out I’m a dps because many supports like to blame dps for support nerfs.
I never wanted Lucio, Ana and Zen nerfed.
The issue is when there’s a support thats playable that isn’t Ana, people rage hard.
People go “Moira is no skill and she is played by pros, the game is trash!”
People need to realize having only one viable main support isn’t healthier.
If you want to keep a character from getting nerfed, I suggest not making a thread that they don’t need it. But no matter what, don’t put an attention-getting icon on the post.
I pretty strongly disagree with this actually.
Yes, she has clear weaknesses (she has zero mobility and can be flanked / run over and she has to aim to heal), but they over compensate for that fact with the ridiculously overloaded ability that is bio nade.
I think it’s pretty poor balance to be honest.
Why are people complaining about the bio nade all of a sudden? I don´t recall any recent buff to that grenade. In fact, I remember the nerfs that it got back in season 3-4, like the reduced amount of healing and the reduced aoe or duration.
Bio nade as always been a strong utility, but it has to be well placed and it needs the team to follow it up if it’s used offensively.
That may be fine for you because you purposely don’t play other heroes. Other people do enjoy playing more then one.
I have a good feeling you like Ana because she’s easier to kill and enables DPS while disabling enemy supports. The skill involved wouldn’t matter to you because you only play Genji, so any enjoyment you get from an ally Ana or enemy Ana is not from that aspect.
We could also introduce a new character like an enhanced version of Sombra that reduces your damage to 0 for a few seconds, you might enjoy that.
It’s not all of the sudden, it’s whenever Ana is meta. It’s been complained about many times in the past, but it doesn’t receive much attention when Ana isn’t a meta pick for other reasons.
Her nades deny a lot of counterplay. Just Zarya’s bubbles can normally remove the anti-heal. You can try nerfing its duration, but there’s no real reason to actually nerf her.
She is utterly useless against double-shield and dive meta though. Meta shifts, Ana disappears.
No point in nerfing Moira if Ana&Lucio are far more picked than her. Why do you want to nerf her anyway if she’s ok? Git gud.
incorrect. every healer needs extensive nerfs to make the insane power creep that came to the game from goats.
healing is way to potent.
ana has no reason to have a 250 hp heal on her ult anymore.
ana has no reason to have the extra ammo any longer she has plenty of options in her off healer to help.
shes the example im using but every healer in the game has this in some form.
