She was already top 3 support. She was inexplicably buffed to be able to 3 tap the 225 heroes. Can anyone figure out why?

Maybe because her mobility is trash? Only a guess.

I’m trying to figure out why they nerf junkrat or why they reduced a hp for moira while Genji does not get a nerf.

When Ana was buffed this is what the anonymous team 4 member wrote:
Ana is an interesting hero, and one of the most played in the entire game.
And that’s it.

She has the strongest cc ability in the game and the arguably strongest ability in the game with anti-nade.

Ok? and she gets destroyed in .5 seconds if she doesn’t hit you with the CC. I could care less about the anti-healing and I main tank. She’s super squishy and immobile. I love it when a good Ana makes a play on me as ball. They did what they had to do. off 5 degrees and they eat dirt. Her survivability compared to say Mercy is just NIGHT AND DAY. literally -1000 to 1000+… I’m super ok with Ana getting some survivability.

I’m just talking out of my *ss by the way, I don’t even know what buff Ana got. replying…
Probably cus she fell off hard after season 9 and they are slowly bringing her back to par
Nade was rebuffed in its damage to account for the increased healthpools and its healing got buffed to account for the dps passive
Her ttk was one of the only heroes whose actually went down post season 9 going from a 3 hit to kill 200hp heroes to requiring 4 hits to kill a 250hp hero. Due to the nature of her slower than average fire rate on her weapon this basically added an entire second onto her ttk with the extra projectile size not really making any meaningful buff to her consistency of landing shots
Notice how the 75dmg per shot now means her breakpoint for killing 225hp heroes is now back to pre season 9 at 3 shots.
So clearly they are trying to average her ttk back out again cus it was too low. You could barely kill anyone with her cus there was no way you were hitting 4 consecutive shots on someone before they either went out of your LoS or got healed. She basically lost a lot of her kill potential post season 9 and they are trying to undo some of those unintended nerfs
There are new buffs?
Hell if I know… I just reading OP
Usually, Blizzard does quality of life stuff or buffs underperforming heroes or weakens strong ones.
Juno is very clearly doing well with both high WR and pick rate in overbuff and Blizzard nerfing her multiple times indicates as such. Kiriko is doing very poorly hence her very strong buff recently.
Ana I presume is doing alright, but overbuff is showing she’s at an almost 50/50 at most ranks. It is very puzzling why they buffed her other than possibly to take advantage of the 225hp breakpoints to deal with mobile heroes.
Back to par? She was still top 3! God forbid she not be A or S tier.

She should be top 3 regardless
If ana and kiri are ever out of top 3 supports the game is broken. The highest skill supports should be the top supports
As much as i love playing them, heroes like mercy and lifeweaver should never be the top of supports. High skill ceiling supports should be at the top, the lower skill ceiling supports should cap out after a certain rank. Thats how skill curves are supposed to work. If a hero like lifeweaver was top 3 then somethings wrong cus he shouldn’t be outperforming heroes like ana or kiri at higher ranks. That would say he is getting too much value for how little skill is required to play him

Then why isn’t Lucio?

Wahh I don’t like playing against ana cuz its to hard and I .
Wait a minute… I got had someone tell me I can’t just shut my brain off after work and play this game … there’s a conspiracy here
As the person below you replied. Cus of juno currently filling that speed requirement
The question should be whether juno or lucio take more skill to play. And I would say likely Lucio but thats mostly cus i think juno is a badly designed support

Hard agree.
I still need to get better at flying with Juno…and my team might actually like me
I think Juno is weak af and that without her ult she would never be played. Its just her ult is so good you play a mid hero to guarantee a fight win every 1-2 mins
Outside her ult juno really has nothing going on. Her heals are mid unless you are just healbotting the tank. Her dmg is weak. Her torpedos … exist. Her mobility … well … it at least moves her a bit (although very slowly, in a straight line, with 0 way to change your height). You pick her to build ult and then hope that wins the fight every 2 mins.
Its just unfortunate juno also has speed so since you are already picking her there is no reason to also need lucio. If she didnt have speed ring chances are you would see lucio & juno played together instead of just brig juno. Its just you dont need lucio when you already have speed so you pick the other aoe peel support, brig.
