Honestly, Ana’s winrate below Diamond or even Masters is negligible. Statistics other than pickrate don’t mean much below Plat. The fact that the hardest healer to play has such a high pickrate in what, apparently, the forums believe is no skill territory says a lot.

yeah and just cause people scream someone is OP doesn’t mean they are Op, what even.
all you’ve shown me here is that ana’s pick rate goes up with ranks which seems fine to me since she’s supposed to be a high skilled hero??? like…good? im glad ??? i don’t want Mercy to be most picked in GM, what…
^^^refer to this.
having 2 main healers gets boring. it is also harder and harder to run 2 off healers, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing.
also, it’s not “no skill” territory but it’s also not all that good, a lot of us have been there, the difference is very noticable.

Well you started with a lie:
Calling the most played healer at high ranks “garbage” is either ignorance or straight up lie.
I mean, Mercy was a must pick for a year, Ana has been for about a month. I assure you you’ll start seeing massive nerf threads if she gets to be a must pick for that long. Hell, it’s already started.

This is what I mean. People are up in arms about Ana but fail to see that the other main healers are not doing well because they’re weak. Not because Ana is that much better than them. As I said earlier, Nanoboost is my only issue otherwise let’s buff Moira and get Mercy to a pickrate that isn’t garbo.

Weak compared to what? They are only weak if we put them against Ana, not by themselves. Without Ana they would still both be capable of doing their job.
How funny. Suddenly when Ana is pushing out the other healers they’re suddenly the problem, even though after the Mercy nerf people were screeching sHE’s BaLaNCeD StUPiD MErcY mAin and Ana players are going on about how it should be like this. Unacceptable.

Mercy is weak on her own dude. Moira compared to Ana yes, but not by much. Just give her some QoL changes.

Moira is fine as she is. Mercy is weak on live, how can you know PTR Mercy is still too weak on her own? Small changes sometimes do wonders.
Trust me, I get it. But I’ve been maining Mercy since the beginning but I’m not gonna pretend like Ana is as much of an issue as people want her to be just to push the Mercy agenda.

i am slightly confused right now
all of us with PC can play the PTR now, she still feels weak. and she’s still a resbot.
overall, she’s weaker than pre healing nerf, it’s not rocket science.
The duration was reduced by a second as well.
Plus, I think people severely underestimate how much the Lucio rework negatively impacted Ana.

She was still top healer in S4, started S5 really strong but was quickly overtaken by Mercy.
She was always a healbot, then resbot. That’s her identity. And yes, she is weaker than pre-nerf. That’s because with 60 hp/s she was overpowered mandatory healer.
PTR version might be just fine compared to Moira, but weaker than current Ana.
Because the buffs are just a revert back to where she was right when Ana was buffed. Trust me, the change won’t be enough to do anything.

When Mercy was most picked, she was most picked EVERYWHERE. From Bronze to GM on both PC AND Console.
Ana is most picked from Diamond to GM on PC. That’s it. Everywhere else she’s barely a top 10 pick.

There’s always a support who’s going to have that pickrate.
There’s always going to be the mandatory healer. Even if they’re all balanced (and I’m not stating it as if she is, I don’t know if she is) - but even if we had all healers heal 20 HPS only…we’d still have one that’s mandatory.
That’s how the meta works. I’m sure if we moved away from GOATs, we’d likely not see her as much because big bulky tanks are easier to burst heal than smaller targets.

i honestly think that, the only way healers are gonna have closer pick rates is to have more variety which, well, just takes an awful lot of time.
Actually she’s within Top 5 of every rank currently. Then starting at Diamond there’s a pretty big gap between her and other main healers developing.

My initial post says “start of S5”. And the data I linked references to the start of S5. It was to disprove your statement about “between S3 and now” since both S4 and start of S5 happened in this timeframe.
Regardless, being weak before does not justify being overpowered now. Ana is out of line, she is too good at what she is doing. Some small nerfs could bring her back in line to the level where currently Moira is. Same with Mercy and small buffs.
