They could just make her Bleed regen come in the form of Green Health, then have it convert to white health a few seconds later.
Since Green Health is unaffected by AntiHeal.

She probably wont be too weak to anti heal though

It’s by design. Junker queen is the beta for PvE balance for Ana players.
i think she will because it wont be difficult for ana to hit her with anti nade
The funny thing is that I still reckon Nade is more powerful than Junker Queens ultimate.
Junker queens ultimate has a wind-up, requires you to put yourself at massive risk to get value out of it and the worst part is that it also gets hard shut-down by Ana’s nade or sleep.

Heh, what if they add that Orisa spinning matrix capability on the frontal of the JunkerQueen Ult?
That way she won’t be sleep dart bait.

It would be a solution, however, then it equally punishes every other hero in the game.
I doubt the devs would want to do that simply because it would make counter-play a lot more difficult for all heroes in the game, not just Ana.
I could see it happening though if it turns out to be a really weak ult but if its just to giver counter-play against Ana I think it is a bad solution.
The antiheal is only one component of her ultimate though, it’s also a tool to position herself to snatch an enemy’s life or two. It would set her up nicely for an axe chop followed by a meat shot into a person/people that can’t be healed.
If Hammond can make it work, Junkerqueen can too
I agree but it still makes her incredibly vulnerable.
Unlike Rein’s ult for example which is a mass-stun, Junker’s requires you to get in there while the enemy can still shoot at your face.
Which is why Ana hard counters it. Nade stops the life-leach aspect of the ult which is obviously incredibly important. If you stop it, she essentially is charging into the enemy team on her own.
Then you also got sleep, which is also incredibly easy to land on an ult with a wind-up and a hero with no shield.
Hammond makes it work because when he dives into the enemy team, he gains shields which isn’t countered by anti-heal. Junker doesn’t work like this. I do think she will be a great hero overall but I think she will be like Roadhog, pretty hard-countered by Ana.
Because he can get up to 1000 health in an instant.
Just hope the fox support gonna have a good cleanse if they want to see JQ some time play, also she will get focus a lot with sleep dart.

Just because Ana exists doesn’t mean the ult is bad though. Will Junker Queen be bad against Ana? Sure, but I don’t think that means the ult is bad
Ana needs to be changed, she’s such a notable issue in the game that isn’t being changed because “skill shot”
Literally the reason they gave
But he does way less damage
Well the bottom line is that certain Tanks shouldn’t be automatic throw picks, just because Ana exists.
Yes, but that’s an Ana problem
Potentially. Either change Ana, or change D.va/Hog/Doom/Queen.
Why give Ana special treatment? Like she’s literally the only non-tank character that keeps the stun. She’s kept on a pedestal for some reason
Because she’s popular, and devs need every Support player they can get their hands on for queue times.
I agree. I think she is going to be a good/really good hero overall. She is just going to be miserable to play when against Ana.
Although I wouldn’t be surprise if she is underrepresented, simply because of how popular Ana is.
Ngl, I have thought Ana has been problematic for a while (years), it just turns out the devs are now releasing another tank that is hard shut-down by her.

But support queue times were only an issue because of how the first beta was structured. That’s not going to reflect the live game.
Tanks were always the issue, and with Ana already being a strong pick against tanks in general now becoming all the more effective agajnst them, I think her popularity is just going to make people that might otherwise play Roadhog or the Queen just not bother and go back to playing damage or support themselves.
The game has changed and Ana didn’t change with it. She’s a problem that needs to be addressed.
