So. I like Ana. I can’t seem to play her on koth which is when I play lucio but when I’m not I play Ana. I like her a lot. But I’m just not doing as well as I thought I would. Stuck around 1900-2000. My stats are = 7 hrs played. 6.6 healing/10 controls = 65x65 / aim ease in 25, window 20, vibration off, crosshairs, toggle zoom on, and 0% friendly Aim assist(messes up my sleep/nades) so. Yeah. Any tips to improve?
Keep playing

It depends on if you’re struggling with her mechanics or decision making.
Play her a lot to get the mechanics. There is no other advice.
Decision making, you have to start looking at your replays and see if there’s anything you could have done better. Especially the losing games, because its hard to gleen improvement areas from a win. You won, why bother watching that replay
Honestly the best advice I could give which may not be much is to not put yourself at risk to save someone who is in a bad spot. Like you might have to actively fight that instinct, but sometimes you just have to let them die.

The best advice you can get for support is use corners, think of them as a tank that’ll never let you down and will never have their barrier break, if you’re positioned near a corner you cut the angles you can be attacked from and can use them to dodge from a flanker or take cover from a sniper
Positioning | ioStux’s Complete “Bronze to OWL” Guide (Season 1 Episode 1) - YouTube This video literally helped me gain 300 sr in one day. Trus me it works.
So you’re on console? No idea how ana mechanics works in console but positioning and managing your kit is still important regardless
Watch stylosa’s videos where people send in for review. I bet he’ll cover things you need to know. Positions, stop jumping lol, using skills effectively.
Also you use controller on console with of aim assist, and while im a pc player, if it’s messing your aim up you may need to consider getting rid of it and practicing aim without. But again i have no experience with it.
Have a clear plan of what you want to do with Ana, what is your win condition with nano, nano Genji? Reaper? Or Monkey who s about to jump in? Call that out. Are you going to nade the enemy mid fight? Call that out too.
Play like you don’t have a shield tank, and pretend that the enemy has an aim bot level Widow who doesn’t miss. So that’ means you don’t stand in the open for no reason, you should always be able to reach a cover within 1 second. So all that while keeping track of your team los.
Don’t tunnel vision on Tanks, constantly checking on the DpS and the other healer as well. Ana requires a lot of APM, Ana players have been really good at it recently, so you will have to be faster, smarter and better than them in order to climb.
The game, and Ana especially, is designed for Keyboard/Mouse. Don’t use a controller.
Spend 1000£ isn’t great advice just to be able to get above 4200
Au contraire, watch victory replays to see what you did correctly that helped lead to a win, so that you can work on making those plays/decisions more consistently.
