Imo the real problem with Ana is that she’s a DPS healer, and a main healer, AND has utility. She does far too much.
If they want to maintain Ana’s character without being OP, her healing potential needs a massive nerf. Buff her utility if necessary, buff her damage, but she can’t have all three
For one, I’ve never had a game where a Bap has comfortably done the bulk of the healing work AND his team win. Almost always, he has to be supported by a heavier healer like Mercy or Moira.
That said, I play only console so maybe it’s different on PC. In which case I would say the same arguments with Ana apply to Bap.
Indeed, Bap has been accused of being too strong ever since release.
@NaniOWO
You say that but Ana’s stars are much better than Baps
EDIT: Also I wanna add antiheal has less counterplay than Baps utility. Like the lamp can be destroyed, the window you can just move out of the way. And all of those are very simple actions any character can do.
When Ana nades you, unless you have Zarya you’re just not getting healed for 4 seconds.
I can play this game too, see I like playing Zarya and I often wonder:
How come Zen’s ult can completely negate my grav?
How come baptiste can counter grav with immo field?
How come lucio’s beat can counter grav?
How come Moira and Reaper can just straight up warp right the heck out of grav?
It used to bug the hell out of me… but now I just press tab and see who the other team is using and bait out any of their abilities that might counter me.
It’s still BS that that there’s no reliable way to cleanse it.
Hell, it’s BS that there’s no reliable cleanse ability in this game at all. You’d think Mercy would be able to (since she’s a doctor and all), but I guess the Devs were sleeping in that day.
And that’s me as a console player using him on the pc servers when he’s not even my main, I’ve only just picked him up for crossplay. In the hands of someone who has played him for over many hours and knows him in and out, Bap would be an absolute workhorse.
I don’t objectively disagree, but it is a longish CD and her only sustain. Yeah, it’s super strong when used on red frontline, but it’s REALLY easy to force with any flanker or ranged character.
It is IMO the strongest non-Ult ability in game, but it doesn’t need changed until OW2 when all supports get passive regen.
