If Hog is too powerful...Ana!

This is Hog’s current pick and win rates for this week:

…this is Ana’s:

She’s picked more, and she wins more. And what’s worse is that this pick and win rate for her is normal. She’s been holding steady around here for the past two OWL seasons.

So when are we finally going to admit that Ana is the most busted hero in Overwatch history?

and thus we shouldn’t derive conclusions from them

Could you explain why exactly?

Yeah Ana is broken and needs to be nerfed badly. Everyone one of her abilities can have a huge impact on the outcome of a fight. She counters an entire hero pool I mean imagine if there was a dps hero that could make you immune to damage.

She is literally the only good support that is left. Every other support hero has been nerfed.

Which is why she is picked a lot, she is the only good apple in the basket.

Your hidden profile is somehow hiding not only your gameplay profile, but your forum activity.

If I can’t search your history to see if you’re being consistent, I can’t determine if you’re real or not.

And we don’t argue with people who aren’t real.

The above makes as much sense as you do.

Go away. Ana is broken, and her pick/win rate data proves it the same way similar data proves that they over-nerfed Brig at all levels of play, the same way it proved that Genji was bonkers after they buffed him, the same way it proved that Hog was over-buffed.

…so you’re saying that all other supports suck compared to Ana?

Yeah…in a logical world that’s called being OPAF.

No, I am saying all other supports just suck. Ana has nothing to do with that. Don’t bend my words.

No that is just called being good. Being good is not the same as being OP.

Is Rein OP because he is the only good shield tank?

When you’re the only one? Yeah, it absolutely is.

If you go into a grocery store, and out of the 6 brands of apples they’re selling one is 400% more expensive than the other 5, is that just because it’s “obviously the best apple”? Or is it because it’s overpriced?

Your logic has a problem.

You don’t have any.

No it is not, being the only good thing does not make something op. Being too strong makes something OP. Ana is not too strong, she is just good at her job, but not too good.

That does not relate to this discussion at all. Or you explained it poorly.

Even though that logic is worse. How can my logic be a problem if I do not have any?

At this point your just saying stuff without reason or thought.

By that logic they shouldn’t have nerfed Roadhog.

Explain yourself.

It is in RQ where we’re limited to a certain role so when a hero within that role outshines the rest by a mile (like Ana does) then they’re OP. OP doesn’t mean really anything else except just that the hero is overpowered a.k.a. notably more powerful than the other respectful heroes. They don’t have to be absurdly better or oppressively better to be called “OP”

No, because he’s not a good shield tank because there are no good shield tanks.

I disagree here.

Next week we’re going back to a Rein/Zarya meta.

I hope so.

I just wish they made Sigma/Orisa viable tbh. I’ve managed to do really well with Sig Hog lately, but I wish they were just… better…

Honestly screw this meta though.

I have my doubts since the experimental won’t probably go live as it is right now and even if it did there are other meta comps waiting behind the corner, but we’ll have to see. As a warning it’s been a while since I’ve been wrong about this kind of stuff

It will.
It 100% will.

For numeric changes like this we have a 100% adoption rate for experimental changes.

They only time they haven’t has been for radical experiments like 1/3/2, and major moira mechanics changes.

They actually shouldn’t, they should have buffed barrier tanks instead. Nerfing Hog does not solve the problem.

Seriously what is with the attitude?

I compare a OP hero to the role, not the heroes. The thing is, if we buff every other support to be Ana’s level we did not really change Ana. So she would still be the same.

I’m sure one still has to be the best, even if they are all bad. So who would be the least bad out of every shield tank?

I’m actually A-OK with them not touching Ana, I just find the double-standard people have annoying at times. Like people talking about healing creep, but claiming that Ana had no part in it at all. Or sneering at Bap’s grenades despite Ana’s healing darts having a lenient hitbox themselves. Or back when those videos of Genji failing to kill anyone with a Blade due to the damage being outhealed and people put it at the feet of the Brig/Mercy rather than Ana.
