Ana Opinions from an Ana Main

I agree with the OP that a wall climb of some sort is the best fit.

If not that. If the DEVs are still hard lined about no mobility and poor self heals then maybe make her dart easier to land on enemies nearby. Make it work as intended. As is it’s harder skill to use then her own basic shots.

Then if not that either maybe a cloak passive will do…

Ana – Ghillie Suit Passive

Can we give Ana a ghillie suit – a passive that simply lets her be invisible to enemies past a certain distance. Of course abilities like Widow Sight, Opportunist, Sonic Arrow and some such work as normal.

Firstly this would allow Ana to be a different kind of sniper than Widowmaker in her sniper’s nest. Secondly it’ll allow her to play at range – which at the moment she cannot. Lastly it turns her relationship with dive into a cat 'n mouse game – leaving her that much less susceptible to that meta overall.

Also, it does NOTHING to give her extra mobility – which is perfectly in keeping with her play style restrictions.

I say 30 plus meters or so is fair. That’s a large local area of where you can be seen and you pretty much have to be outside the area of contention for the passive to apply — most likely outside the ability of anyone to peel for you too.

This is precisely the point where this ability should kick in and where it shouldn’t — the practical maxim past where anyone could peel for you. At that point you’re on your own and the cat ‘n mouse game begins.

If not that… I’m kind of at a loss of what can be done for Ana. Without any new and great ideas to hope for her case will seem a bit hopeless to me then.
