👏 If you can't aim with Ana, Don't play Ana

I agree. I just wanted to point that out so they don’t go expecting her to have near perfect aim.

This is a very ill hearted comment. Of course you can have your cake and eat it too. Just practice the hero to play it well, it has nothing to do about a hero getting nerfed or “shoved into”. Play it because you want to be good at it. If someone’s not performing well on a hero to be good enough to maintain their SR, then they’ll drop, and climb back again when they’re better. If you don’t have the determination to learn an objectively hard hero, then don’t play just out of spite, that’s dragging other people down. It’s that simple.

Regarding “bad Anas”, that goes for every heroes. Except some have extremely low skill floors that even being “bad” at them still gives enough value. That was wrong and thankfully was fixed. Get your agenda out of here.

That’s why you preferably get a Lucio to be your duo healer when people run dive DPS/Tanks. He takes care of chip damage and Ana can burst up critical targes and maintain tanks. Ana is a fantastic burst healer, but she requires alot of coordination. People can’t go expecting pocket healing like they used to with Mercy. Even with Mercy, currently she can’t sustain bad/sloppy engagements and will easily be a target if she stays in the fight for too long.

Its annoying when your teammates think all non-meta heroes are throw picks. Like we aren’t in GM, don’t play heroes you aren’t comfortable with because someone said so.

I was responding to the original post on their opinion of ‘bad Ana players’. Typically when I see an Ana performing badly it has nothing to do with the team, it’s Ana having terrible positioning and getting dove over, and over yet not swapping. You can’t expect your team to hold your hand all the time. If there is a Doomfist/Tracer hounding you and you can’t land a sleep dart to save your life, Moira would be a better option or even Bridget yet these stubborn Ana players don’t swap.

I understand that QP is for practicing/chill, that is all fine and dandy but it’s ridiculous to complain about your team ‘not being in your sight-lines’ or abandoning you if:

#1. You’re not in voice communicating it.
#2. You don’t say anything until AFTER you’re dead.

Basically, for Ana and Zen, it’s more up to the team to stay in their LoS than anything else. Obviously Zen/Ana should do their best to gain good sight-lines, but unlike Moira/Lucio/Mercy/Brigitte, they can’t throw themselves anywhere just to heal dumb people.

Communication is a 2-way street, and I’m honestly just tired of people not caring about how their support will keep them alive.

The two most common things I see in QP. I agree that a lot of DPS just kind of do their own thing, if that is the case I will swap and just follow as Moira/Brigg/Mercy/Lucio. Those healers are easier to play in that situation but if I have a team that wants to chat in voice and work together as a team, you bet your booty I’m going to play Ana/Zen!

I love all the supports, Mercy was meta for many season hence why I have so many hours on her but I do love them all equally and want them picked equally ///BUT/// I don’t want Ana to become Mercy were people refuse to swap and cause you to lose the game (I’m looking at you Mercy players when she was considered a troll pick).

I can’t aim with anyone but that sure won’t stop me from playing the game as the heroes I like.

130

Lawl nice one mate!!

131

Nah

They gotta learn somehow, you just gotta get over it

132

I agree, I don’t play Ana in comp for that same reason. I do practice her in qp tho.

133

I do but they dont group up

134

more often than not I’m the sucker who is getting pulled away from healing because I’m the only hitscan on the team that can kill their pharah


And then the team complains of no heals.

135

yea that makes sense I’m a pretty bad ana myself but even I get over 50% unscoped and scoped accuracy

136

Are you saying you actually want people to play Mercy? XD

137

I can aim with widow but not Ana so I am a mercy main and second widow main. My luck is low


138

Practice makes perfect

139

When did they change that? I remember when you could inflate your accuracy just by shooting your teammates outside of fighting

I’m still very sure thats the reason for a lot of the complains about Ana being able to shoot through full health targets was a nerf
 you know
 no atrifical stat manipulation anymore.

I see you’re a man of knowledge

141

OP, I see you have a problem with heroes that have to aim and healers that aren’t pure healers. Every other post in your history is “Nerf this healers damage, she should be healing, not fighting” or “Where all the “good” widowmakers”

142

That “weapon accuracy” has been wrong since she’s joined the game. It’s never included healing shots at all.

I remember seeing that stat when I first picked up Ana and it’s was 4% because it was 1) the tank meta and 2) I rarely had to shoot enemies. I couldn’t understand what stat was that low when scoped and unscoped were so much higher.

143

Well I mean, you know the saying,

Some don’t realize how much they need someone, until they’ve lost them. :wink:
