ReMake Ana to be more like Doom Slayer

Look, Blizzard, I like Ana as a character and as a Hero, but I’m frustrated by her lack of better mobility which makes her take “ages” to reach fellow Heroes (not to mention Ana is 61 and unlike Widowmaker she has no gadgets to reach far places fast), so I think to compensate that Ana should be reworked by getting a Exoskeleton! How would she work? Like… the Doom Slayer.

Doom Slayer is a natural fast guy so make Ana to move much faster, almost as fast as Soldier 76 sprinting. You should also make her climb ledges. Make Ana double jump and I also suggest you to add a new ability to her, I name it “Super Jump”, where, if we press and hold “jump” button for 2 or 3 seconds Ana could jump very high, with a few seconds of cooldown, let’s say, 8 seconds.

Just do not put her a wrist blade, please, since back in DOOM Eternal the “Doomblade” is nothing more than an additional set of Glory Kills and is useless by itself. I’m also against making her “Dash” since it would make her OP; in DOOM Eternal that mechanic was “necessary” since there are brutal amount of enemies and that is a very frantic shooter game, unlike Overwatch.

Though it would be nice for her to have a “shoulder launcher” where she could launch her Biotic Grenade from there instead, with a increased and controlled range, where if we would press and hold the corresponding button (“E” for PC) we could preview the trajectory of the grenade, just like is done for example in the recent Ghost Recon, or The Division, games.

I know this would take some serious work, Blizzard, especially for current iteration of Overwatch, but just think this rework of Ana would be amazing for Overwatch 2!

Ana’s lack of mobility is her weakness.

Biggest problem is that even though Ana can heal others from very afar, if an injured partner is in an unreachable place she becomes useless as a healer.

That would go against the design decision of being to tell the capabilities of a hero by looking at them.

An old lady that can move fast & climb would be a big mismatch of a character & their abilities.

I agree, but instead of Ana, let’s do Hog.
