90% it’s just salty people that got their main nerfed (especially other healers) then try to seek a scapegoat to claim unfairness. Because one hero being nerfed means all hero that have the tiniest bit of thing in common must also be nerfed.
Ana just happens to be a healer that wasn’t touched much balance wise and enjoys good pickrates, so forum lobotomites see that and think it means she’s op and dominates the game

Yeah 90% of it just salty people probably isnt the blatantly obvious that she is OP and needs to be nerfed hence the reason people keep complaining about her.

she has been op for the past 2 years according to the forums despite never being at the helm of any meta since quad tank.
at this point it’s just forum bias
Except these were the things that got others severely nerfed and gutted.

To be fair that is the forum in a nutshell. People will always be bias and complain.
or maybe it’s because the devs know the reason for high pickrates and balance the game accordingly, since anyone smarter than a peanut would know there are multiple variables at work in the game and stuff can’t be boiled down to pickrates
Then the same argument can be used for Ana? If she also has high pickrates and win rates - in correlation to other heroes, then there is something busted either with Ana or something entirely wrong with the rest of the support roster.
They have the choice of bringing the supports in line with her or nerfing her down to be in line with them.
Don’t sit there and cry bias when you nor me have the whole picture. But there is facts - such as Ana being meta and being at the top for literal months if not a year.

WTF?
You compare preices of apples that you only compare against other apple prices with the attribute OP of one tank, which is an attribute that you actually put in relation with far more products than “apple”-tanks and in a much more complex relationship.
Or in short: you analogy is none!
You should listen to these words yourself.
edit: just to give you a counter example:
if all tanks die in 0.25s to any dps but rein in 0.5s that doesn’t make him op even though he is twice as good as all other tanks. OP is an attribute by his total value in the game and not only by comparision to other tanks!

Dive: Mercy/Zen
Goats: Brig/Lucio
Double Barrer: Brig/Bap
but yeah, she’s been meta for more than a year. If you actually paid attention to what was nrfed and why you’d know that brig has obnoxious issues in her whole kit and bap has the highest potential dps in the roster while also having amazing aoe healing on top of the strongest ability aside from Rez.
What does ana have? 4s of anti heal?
f you think that’s comparable in power and counterplay then i’m sorry
inb4 good pickrates =/= meta
Maybe if you paid attention, then you would realise that Ana was played in GOATS and Double Barrier.
Brig and Bap were hardly meta on the ladder - especially Bap who has been doing mediocre pre-nerfs, those things that you named were mostly OWL rather than ladder play

Ana is the most broken, but ONLY because of how she enhances the truely, actually broken hero of the meta.
if that makes sense.
Her ult might be too good and need a rework, idk.

I like that we’re getting more imaginative with every nerf Ana thread.

I will never understand why lower ranked players even care about meta, because meta doesn’t even get played down there. The first time you see meta picks more frequently is at diamond level and even there you are not playing meta every game. And btw, Ana hasn’t been meta very often.
So I always wonder why it’s mostly lower ranked players complaining about Ana. She is getting worse the lower you go. So, for example, a gold player complaining about Ana is stupid. You can play every frickin hero you want in gold and still win/climb. Even if Ana would be OP this wouldn’t even affect lower ranks. The forum often acts like a gold ana is some kind of a god, hitting every nade, every sleep, with perfect aim and positioning. This crap is getting ridiculous.

No, we wont, because it is simply not true. Brigitta is the one who has the trophy, and widowmaker is right behind her.
I mean…she does have the best single target healing, some of the best burst healing, a great kit that not only helps in her defense and self-heal, but can also work in team fights and in shutting down abilities. Her kit is great, her healing is great, she’s not just a constant in nearly all the metas, but feels more in control of her own destiny than the rest of the crew.
What more you could want? What support can match her? Whether you find that OP or not is up to your definition what you think should be normal for a support, but all things being equal, which support would you take over her?
I don’t care. I’ll just switch and play her. But I can see why a Mercy main might have spent the last two years wondering how this is fair.

and her strenghts come at high mechanical demand and lack of survivability if she misuses any of her abilities.
Also, i would take moira or mercy over her for the increased consistency or bap for the higher damage and super jump
