Ana:
-One of the most aim intensive heroes in the game
-requires excellent positional awareness to make sure none of the many barriers in OW are obstructing her AND her teammates need to be in LOS
-decision making on how to use sleep and bionade (both of witch require aim, nade to a lesser degree), which if done wrong can easily lose fights
-a heavily communication reliant ult
Mercy:
-Hold left or right click (right/left trigger) on target
-insane mobility on a 2 second cool down
-a rez ability
-ult that allows you to heal OR damage boost your whole team while flying above the battle field.
In what universe would ana be a better main healer pick than mercy?

We all know mercy is the much easier and better option.

Marcy is one tricked bc shes easy, and ana takes skill.

Because this type of post is counter-productive. We all know how Ana compares to Mercy.

How is it counter productive? Breaking down the disparities between two main healers seems like a good thing.

mercys only good bc shes easy, ana would be good if more healer mains were willing to sink time into learning a hero as oppose to one tricking an easy one.

you didn’t give any way to make ana better, you didn’t give any way to make mercy less strong, all you did was point out ana is worse than mercy. We all know that. This post doesn’t help.

The effort vs. reward ratio isn’t even fair. It’s not like a pro ana player is going to do more healing than a pro mercy player. Ana is slowly becoming an off meta secondary healer and it’s kinda frustrating to watch.

This is so wrong, mercy is good cuz she does the most healing, has great mobility, isnt easy to kill, has res… If she was only good cuz she is easy, explain her near 100% pick rate in the pro scene?

mercy gives the team sustain while ana gives a team more attack options
you can be super aggressive with ana in a team with her nade while mercy is more passive in comparison

she does the most healing bc her easy kit and low skill play allows her to be an effective healer in ANY scene. A pro Ana could put out more healing then a silver mercy if they were on the same team.
I’m not a game balance expert, so why would I try to ‘fix’ ana or mercy? I am just posting what I can directly observe.

Ana isn’t even a main healer at this point.
In GM, Ana is only 1.7k healing ahead of Zenyatta (which is 9.7k), while Mercy and Moira stand at 12.8k and 12.5k.

Then why post it? If you don’t give suggestions you aren’t being helpful in the slightest.
And why would be be comparing the top players to silver players? That is just stupid. Your point is wrong, mercy is not better cuz she is easier, she is better cuz her kit is better, period.
