I’ve been trying to play a bit of ana lately cause I found out how much I enjoy playing her. Usually, I get around 60-75 accuracy when firing scoped and a 60 accuracy no scoped. Is that considered good accuracy for an ana player?

It’s pretty good, but I don’t think that the accuracy is what you should be focused on. Just make sure you keep all your team alive, tanks, DPS and the other support.

From a quick poke around Overbuff, it looks like you can be pretty happy with >60% accuracy.

Accuracy with ana doesn’t really matter because the correct way to play her is staying with your tanks and shoot them in the butt from 1 m distance.

No its not seeing that you’re plat with those stats which means you’re only healing tanks. If u were healing tanks only then you would need to have 80+ accuracy.

Okay, but what if he isn’t healing only tanks? That is objectively good accuracy. His problem is more likely game sense related, imo.

The fact that he/she is plat means that he/she is only healing tanks. Only time I’ve seen a plat support heal dps is when dps stands steal and asks for healing or when the dps is duod with the support

How ridiculous.

To everyone asking how I play her, I try to heal everyone in my team including tanks, dps, and healers with the expection of when I have a mercy on my team who could help with the more squishy targets. I also try to balance out DPS and healing and it’s going well.
For the first time, I’m actually having a winstreak. I’m now queing for my fifth game and won all 4 of them with ana. It’s incredibly fun especially when I nano a big good target Like rein or genji.

Exactly. I use to spam heal shots to my team just in case, so my accuracy is pretty messed up as I miss lot of shots like this. Important is to keep your team alive, deliver your sleep darts and nade and ofc, nano.

Also my position is in the backline close to the team almost too heal and damage.
Eh. Forget about accuracy, it’s really not an important statistic. If you spend all game just pumping heals into Rein your accuracy is going to be high. That’s not what matters. I mean, don’t get me wrong, if your accuracy is 30% then you need some drastic improvement but between 70 80 and 90% the improvement in performance isn’t really important.
The question is are you shooting the right targets? Are you healing when you’re meant to heal and damaging when you’re meant to damage? Are you getting phat antis?
I heal everyone on my team. When there’s a mercy on my team and see that she’s pocketing DPS, then that’s when I mostly heal tanks which only happened once.
I can’t judge the accuracy unless you show us a replay.
On paper, 70% is good for Ana.
But not hard to achieve
For example, I’ve had 80% accuracy on Ana before and it was back when I was hyper focused on accuracy. Without realizing it, I was only shooting shots I could hit and focused a lot on tanks. Now that I’m less focused on accuracy and more on dmg/heals, my accuracy sits around 65 unscoped and 70% scoped. It wasn’t until I changed that I managed to climb. Scoped accuracy is always pretty high if you’re not strafing, aren’t quickscoping, and aren’t trying to get picks on enemy dps.

I’m doing all of that or I think so. Many times I see people pushing into my team and I anti nade them
Accuracy doesn’t mean all that much really. Most people can probably maintain a 70% accuracy if they only focus on tanks.
I don’t really play Ana a lot and I met around 80%. Doesn’t really matter because most of the time I’m behind my tanks but sometimes I step back if it’s simply safer to shoot from a distance to avoid something like a widow
Anything above 50% is good enough.
In terms of strictly healing (which Scoped accuracy is weighing both damage and healing) 65% is pretty good and competitive. This is, of course, assuming you’re treating all team members equally and healing them with similar results.
If it is only tanks that you’re healing, the accuracy is a bit on the low side.
This is false and poor strategy.
More likely.
This is wrong. Accuracy is an important stat since it heavily weighs against your rank.
Landing a shot is the difference between keeping your team alive or dying to simple fire. High accuracy means your average healing per second increases. If you can’t heal your team from simple fire, you’re not healing or doing a very good job.
As always, medals/stats are misleading in a vacuum. 73% is nothing impressive if you are the type of Ana player who hyper focuses on the Reinhardt standing still in front of you while your team all around you needs healing and dies.
You’d be a better overall player with 60% accuracy but keeping up your DPS while managing your tanks health and missing a few shots in the process, for instance.
