Can you devs stop turning a blind eye to Ana?

It’s frustrating. Everyone knows she’s over-tuned and nobody denies it. Why are you guys walking on eggshells? She needs more than a slap on the wrist. I’m sick of being rendered useless because of Ana. Please balance her.

How would you balance her and why, OP?

I would rather give nade some counter play with other abilities since it’s only (Moira and Zarya), or id just nerf the ability itself to lower the 100% anti-heal or reduce how long it lasts, because she is currently (and has been) the best support for quite some time now and she hardly gets touched compared to the rest.

Comments like these… Mercy might be better on console than pc, but Ana is still really strong and oppressive to other supports. (Btw I have several accounts that I play on with many being more dedicated to characters like Bap and Ana)

I think Ana is mostly fine the way she is. If she needs nerfs, I would remove the burst heal on nano. Nade has pretty much been they same way since 2017, and people didn’t complain about her until she became meta. It’s sort of like how people didn’t complain about DB or rez until Mercy became meta

And one other thing, even if you did nerf nade, she would still be the most picked support.

Nade is just one of the many things. She just has too much utility overall compared to other supports.

Bionade is only stronger because of how much weaker barriers have become compared to 2017. Tanks were keeping it in check. And it’s biggest check at the time (Dva) isn’t being played anymore.

Ana has always had the utility she has today.
Her having utility isn’t the issue.

And they still are, for the most part. Dive was one of the metas with the least amount of shields and she was almost no where to be seen. Meta now is Rein/Zarya/Winston who can all block nade (or even bait it out).

Maybe buffing D.Va to 15m DM is what we need

You could use defense matrix to cover people under the effect of anti nade, and Dva passively created a space where Ana players didn’t want to nade because they’d run the risk of having their nade eaten. (Much like the Zarya grav and Dva interaction)

Dva was the biggest nade counter in the game.

Which is why I said buffing DM to 15m could be what we need

It would give her more nade counterplay

It would be a good start. I definitely think some of the main tanks also need some love though.
