Ana should get POTG for Nano Boost

General Discussion

At least you’ve had a PotG with her outside of arcade…

Cries in a corner

I had a game where I nano’d our genji and then went to hit him with my nade but missed and hit 4 enemies with it. Their zenyatta used his ult but since they were hit by my nade, they couldn’t be healed and my genji killed them all. I didn’t get any credit for it…

I mean how is that different to soldier/junkrat/pharah/reaper/genji/rein/mccree etc. pressing q

Basically they said they can’t really render two camera views at the same time. Or make a way to cut between POTG parts. In any logical way.

This was supposed to be fixed with POTG 2.0 that was announced at Blizzcon 2016. We’ve heard nothing since.

Because us pressing Q on that Reaper and keeping him alive is obviously easier than him pressing Q, silly! :stuck_out_tongue:

the other day i got potg for getting a kill and two nano boost assists, which was strange

Usually Ana’s don’t just stand there aimlessly while someone is Nano’ed. We typically are still keeping everyone and the Nano target alive during all of this while potentially landing a sick Sleep Dart on someone trying to Ult to counter the Nano.

Mercy’s POTG chances are tied to what the resurrected player did after the rez.
Why doesn’t has Ana a similar system?

Right now is it impossible to get POTG with Ana, and I would love to see this changed.

Ana should get a lot of things.

Passive is my middle name as Ana!

Not going to pretend this was some amazing play as I was still pretty new with Ana at the time, but I still feel sleeping that D.VA into the well should have at least earned me a highlight.

I feel this is a pretty accurate representation of what it’s like to ult with Ana. :joy:

But not for this girl.

She is a support hero.
POTG is only for DPS’ers.

I want all heroes to have an equal chance of obtaining POTG and not just DPS’ers. I have seen enough Junkrat and Genji POTG’s.

What we need is POTG 2.0 with dual highlights and combined play.
The devs already talked about this in 2016, but I would love to get an update about this.

Genji received fire for eliminations.
You received fire for assists.

POTG looks at who has generated the most fire. Eliminations give more fire than assists and healing. In other words, Ana’s ultimate can give everyone POTG but herself. Ana’s kit isn’t designed for big plays and eliminations. It’s for healing and assisting. This is why you can’t get POTG with Ana.

He got the zen too so even if assists counted as much as kills, he got one more than me.
However, this wasn’t even in my highlight for the match. Almost all of my Ana highlights are me healing someone and than getting a single kill.

Play of the Game 2.0 or riot!!!

I think Ana’s problem is her kit and what she does over the course of the potg and highlight time limit just takes longer than other heroes.

She can actually become on fire and stay on fire pretty quickly but she earns the fire slowly but reliably. For example, some heroes can get a lot of fire at once like ulting/killing a lot of heroes. Ana doesn’t usually do that (which is why to get potg she needs to kill a few people usually), but I think her sleep and grenade ult shutdowns are not rewarded enough by the potg system especially. And her ult is for her teammate although she gets credit for it, her ally gains more from it.

Some other heroes have a similar problem like zarya and sombra.
