Forums VS Reddit on Anti

I would be fine with 90% anti-heal to be perfectly honest. They need to add more variations of counterplay to healing. The inherent issue is that Ana has a monopoly on it.

Reddit is a hivemind, dissenting opinions get downvoted. Every nerf, Reddit claims Ana is dead. And here we are, with her still a must-pick everywhere.

Which we have, I litterally listed them.

Im not debating if ana needs changes or not, Im just saying there are tons of tools we have to deal with anti. Some are hard counters like clenses, and others are soft counters.

What your doing is like if someone said “flankers counter snipers” and I go “well i dont agree with your statment that flankers counter snipers, so I want more”

Shields are not a reliable counter

They don’t have to be. The gameplay around shields enables Ana’s teammates to defeat shields and expose the antid enemy, or not and permit the enemy to escape the negative effects of anti.

Imperfect solutions are sometimes the best ones from a gameplay perspective.

Stuff like suzu shuts anti down cold and permits no counterplay by Ana or her team. You either bait it out or just wait for another anti nade.

Once again I will quote my self becuase You keep on missing this

reddit is for NPCs, simple as

There aren’t many shields nowadays, and Rein’s is the only one you can flicker.

Suzu shutting anti down is just as bad as anti shutting tanks down. A single character can’t be the solution.

Bruh, you are not trying to comprehend

Brainless defense

I think it should either be 50% or be a set amount of healing absorbed to terminate the effect before the timer naturally ends.

So like… 4 second effect, absorbs… idk, 175 healing on dps/supprts but 250 on tanks. After that healing is done, the effect is cleansed automatically.

Basically this is gonna come down to waiting until Ana is op based on win rate. And then she’ll take a nerf. Maybe.

People on the forum usually think they can keep the game Hostage with whatever stupid take they come up with, for something they can’t overcome, and not a single point in favor of their argument.

And when next patch doesn’t come with 20% buff on skill, they all reunite in the forums, once again, asking why their stupid take wasn’t heard and properly addressed

Reddit > Forums xD

People aready do that because anas not in every game with that argument why not spwit support into anti and non anti queu

i’ve had a few posts asking why dps don’t bait abilities anymore, and the consensus was that we are still baiting abilities but dying is necessary to do that.

no trying to ego duel the op supports is not baiting abilities, just harass them from a distance and don’t commit

Sigma’s shield can be projected in response to anti, and of course he can eat projectiles in response to a fierce followup from non-beam heroes. So he and Rein have solutions. Brig can also hunker down for a bit if she gets antid, though she can’t cover others with it unless she pops her ult (and her ult is actually pretty good as a response to anti).

Now add in all the other ways to effectively stall until anti runs out, e.g. immortality field, temp hp, Lifeweaver pull, and there are some ways to address it that are decidedly imperfect.

How well anti performs depends on how exposed the victim is at the time they receive the debuff and how well your team is poised to capitalize on anti.

The current duration of anti makes it possible for a semi-organized team to pull together and burn through a shield or wipe out immortality field and still have a chance at killing the victim. Reduce the duration of anti by even a little bit, and it opens up more opportunities for victims to escape.
