Ana is the single most popular hero in the game, y’all have the data to back that up, yet for whatever reason she STILL hasn’t gotten a collectible statue. Doomfist, D.Va, Hanzo, Mercy, Genji, Reaper, Soldier, Widow, Lucio, Mei, Tracer, Reinhardt, Junkerqueen, heck even a new hero like Ramattra has his own bust, but no love for everyone’s favorite grandma? Just why? I don’t know who’s making the business decisions but they need a good talking to.
I think Ana is mostly popular because of her kit, not her character design.
You can see that Mercy, Genji or D.Va fans are actually passionate about their heroes, but Ana players just like Ana’s kit. Her character lore and design are kind of mid.
IMO anyway, so an Ana statue probably still won’t sell as well as statues of the above heroes.
Well I for one certainly don’t feel that way, I think her character design is incredibly unique in gaming, a legendary Egyptian sniper in her twilight years is a pretty dang cool idea and as an artist and collector I appreciate the kind of creativity that went into her aesthetic.
Lifeweaver first, then we’ll talk about the hag
Fwiw they seem to be slow on those in general. Money on the next being kiriko.
Sure Lifeweaver eventually but in all seriousness, Ana’s been around and popular since Overwatch 1, it’s rough watching new heroes like Junkerqueen and Ramattra getting collectible statues before a fan favorite like Ana.
She does have close to 100% pick rate in all ranks… Not sure why they dont if she is THIS popular … There heroes who have way under 30% pick rate that have collectible statue, so Ana should too
Exactly, she’s pretty beloved as a hero across the active player base, I can’t think of any good reason they wouldn’t release a statue for her before others, just doesn’t make sense to me.
I don’t want to say it could be ageism or something like that, though truth be told the elderly nature of other heroes isn’t as obvious given their masks and helmets…
