“muh skill healing” has been used as a crutch defense to justify how broken the rest of ana’s kit is for over half a decade now. It is true that is someone is playing ana you have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they just think aim based healing is fun, but now we are getting Juno, an hero with aim based healing who doesn’t have any bloated innately broken abilities like 100% ranged antiheal with burst damage, 5 second hard stun from range, or long range no aim +500 effective hp burst heal.
Junos healing requires better aim than ana. This means that the "muh skill argument no longer works. If you play Ana after August 20th, and Juno isn’t already taken, the only possible explanation is that you are doing so to abuse low skill crutch abilities like sleep dart, biotic grenade, and nanoboost and not because you actually enjoy the aim based healing
So I propose to blizzard it is time to retire ana. Keep her in the game sure, but nerf her hard. There is no reason why she should ever reach the top 5 most powerful support heroes in any patch ever again. You’d be killing 2 birds with one stone. You can’t get people to queue tank, so removing the hero who holds the record for most misery inflicted to the tank role can only do good. But also, I’m sure blizzard is probably kind of mad that one of their most popular heroes is the grandma that they can’t sell skins for, so converting her mains to the cute astronaut girl can only be good for the pocketbooks
Nice fantasy you have made up there about Ana’s kit. 500 ehp healing yea right. Please keep malding when they won’t change Ana to account for your massive skill issues.
Yet another I hate X hero therefore X hero is no skill crutch for bad players post. Keep sniffing that copium. Next.
Ana still has two different firing modes (projectile and hitscan) along with no fall off (which scales better with good aim) and two aim abilities whereas Juno has an autolock and a forgiving speed ring.
Like, I get what you are going for. Junes is one of my favorite characters in the game and will bring me back to support; however, Ana players are not going to get that much enjoyment from Junes. Perhaps if they had a critical hit multiplier it might even it up a bit and provide a more reasonable alternative. But as of now, she is hitscan Lucio with less speed and utility… And effective damage.
Okay, I know I do not play Hog anymore, but I am going to get accused of it by defending him… You struggle to play against Hog and hide behind whiny streamers to justify your opinion and the developers ACTUALLY listened to you.
Not to be a negative Nancy, but ain’t nobody picking her. At least not in competitive where they take Overwatch as seriously as a shadow game. I did not lose the instalock battle even once…
Ana hate is so cringe and forced, maybe don’t burn your defensive cooldowns on nothing or kindly ask that one of your supports go Kiriko if she isn’t there. Tank is easily the strongest role in the game right now and you still got forums users crying about the great big ana boogeyman.
nanoboost does 250 healing and gives 50% damage reduction so a tank at 10 hp effectively has 540 hp after being nanoboosted
LOL
Okay so a support hero should be able to completely dictate how the tank gets to tank. This isn’t the pwn you think it is. And even if you dedicate 100% of your cooldowns to blocking sleep dart and nade, you’re still going to get hit by them eventually
so you need 1 specific hero out of 41 for ana to be fair. Not exactly making your case very well
I agree now that we have a non-overpowered hero with skill/aim-based healing we can finally retire mercy moira brig. Thank you for pointing that out OP !
Show me the post where I asked hog to be dumpstered. Not my problem hog mains think hog is F tier if he’s not S tier so any kind of nerf to hog means he’s dumpstered. I don’t go around claiming Ana or Rein is garbage tier after every single nerf.
Saying hog isn’t trash isn’t me struggling against hog. It’s just pointing out reality to some delusional hog enjoyers
All this are huge, fat Ls. Ana is one of the most miserable supports to play against and every one besides Ana players know it. She should have been reworked in OW2, but did not and broke the tank role.
Most people play Ana not because she is “fun” and rather, because everything you do is so strong that it feels “fun” when you hit… well ANYTHING and get rewarded to much for hitting something.
You Ana players think you are SO great and that you require SO much skill. You dont. The hero is crazy broken and Kiriko was implemented to counter Ana… look where Kiriko is in terms of power. Ana is above her. You also dont have any other defense than “muh, mobility!”.
How delusional can players be? Well, ask Ana player.
