Buff nano boost

[QuizzyBunny-2512]

Thank you, always looking out for good suggestions for our favorite nana!

No CC immunity, as it’s often used in conjuction with ults like Dragonblade it would remove all counterplay and make Ana a must-pick with certain heroes. I’m not a fan of reduced cooldowns either as that too tends to be too powerful.

Some changes I have proposed are:

• Instantly heals target 100 hp
• Nanoed healer gets a 50% healing boost, meaning Mercy’s healing would be 90 hp/second instead of 60 hp/second.
• Speed boost of 10%.
• Ana can nano boost herself.

I liked all of those things except for the last one. Pray do tell, why would Ana waste nano on her self?

But that actually gave me something to think about. Every support benefit something (more sustain) from their ultimate, except our favorite grandma. Moira and Mercy get constant regeneration, Lucio and Brigitte have their ultimates apply armor to them just like their teams, and Zenyatta becomes flat out invincible. Ana just shoots nano into someone and wishes him good luck and farewell.

What if for every damage increase she helped her teammate do, she gets 25% of it as armor for herself.

Example: Ana nanos Rein. Rein does a firestrike into one enemy (100 original damage, 50 extra nano damage). Out of the 50 extra nano damage, she gets 25% of it as armor, so 12.5 armor for Ana. More brainstorming welcome.

the ONLY change i want is to automatically bring back the target at full health. That’s it.

Adding this , great idea

She’d be able to stall that’s why she’d nano herself.

Plus also for killstre-I mean Death Match

[QuizzyBunny-2512]

Well, if all my suggestions were to go through I can think of three situations where it’s useful:

• Team is taking a lot of damage and needs more heals. With the suggested 50% increase on heals Ana would be able to put out some serious healing in a pinch.
• Ana is last one on point and needs to stall.
• People playing Death Match would appreciate having an ult (least important reason obviously).

How about let Ana get the option to Nano Boost herself?

[NighthAwk-13514]

Or what if when ana casts nanoboost, she also gets the buff. That would give her 50% damage resistance. I’m not sure the extra damage from ana would give her too huge of an advantage except maybe versus a few heroes like pharah, who she’d be able to 2-shot. Perhaps she could get only the damage resistance instead?

Yes, I’m shamelessly plugging today, but I don’t want people to forget about her.
