So what if Ana is the most picked support?

It’s alot of Ana and Moira you mean, there is no rank she is not top two picked in, atleast for this week.

Yeah both. Really depends on the map and tank lineup

Well yeah Jeff’s main is rein and Ana works with rein well so Ana won’t get nerfed

Pretty sure that Ana is also one of the most skilled heroes for gamesense and positioning too

agreed, i never liked the idea of burst heal on nano, even as a genji player it seems like it promotes the “use and forget” mentality as well as being a touch more value than nano needs

I cant believe people are complaining about anti when discord (which Im not complaining about) exists. People just want ana trashed because support players who frequent this forum are petty. Shes not OP, especially not with her clip and hps nerfs. Want to counter ana? run zen because now I need to use anti exclusively for keeping my tanks alive. Yeah I can anti trans if I even have the ability available. I’m just vexxed people legitimately think shes overpowered when the data other than pickrate (which is not a reliable indicator of an OP hero) just doesnt show this. Everybody wants anas shiny kit

The problem is the other healers got dumped on, forcing Ana as must pick even more than before. So she should be reigned in or the others get compensated.

Ana’s healing hitbox is the same as literally every other healers healbox. The only difference is she’s the only one who actually has to shoot it, while everyone else, lock’s on, aoe’s or splashes into it.

And Moira’s old damage hitbox is not .2m. 0.3m.

How did this even get any likes, if not for this hate wagon going on right now.

Ana heal is 0.3 size of the old sym beam. Current beam is 0.2

Is it .3? My mistake. I ended up losing the last link I had with that info. I still had this one:

But that only shows her abilities. I just remembered it was less than them.

Yes 0.3 it was buffed to that at some point

Because this isnt a game for that. Its something everyone can enjoy.

The point is the purpose of having a roster if only exactly 6 heroes are allowed to be good? And only if they are hard to use.

Hero skill ceilings are for player playstyle. Youre going to have heroes easy to use for laid back or people just like that style. Then youre going to have high mechanic level heroes for people who enjoy mastering a hero and making flashy plays.

Not oh but skill doe heroes should be OP
And heroes easy to use need to be bad.

Also I hope you vouch for heroes like baps and ball who are hard to use in their own ways and are not good heroes.

No she isn’t.

one of the most fun characters in the game

No she isn’t.

she is engaging to play as

No she isn’t.

and against

No, she definitely isn’t.

and shes fun to watch.

No she isn’t.

See, I can throw my personal preferences around as though they were objective fact too. But you know what else is a fact? People enjoy different things. That’s why we need to actually balance the game, and give everybody a chance to play as/against the heroes the enjoy, without giving preferential treatment to Gonadas’ personal opinion, as if he were the only person who matters.

Why not push the other supports to have a higher impact play style?

It isn’t that I don’t like Ana, it is that other supports need to be able to have the same kind of things Ana does without people all crying.

Then there’s no point of introducing new Supports anymore in order to make Ana remain as a must-pick forever, since that new Support hero will end up receiving multiple nerf treatments like Brig.

Personally I don’t enjoy filling Ana like in every game even though she’s a fun character, now she’s basically Mercy during Moth meta days.
Lack of diverse gameplay really makes me feel bored fast. I want to play Overwatch, not “Ana-watch”.

i mean even if you put mercy heals on 60hps it wont make her a main healer just because that 60hps is single target only only you cant change healing targets with much freedom coz raw damage has gone up in the game with new heroes introduced which effectively leads to a pocket the dps playstyle coz even if you try to play main healer on 60hps mercy most of the team is still going to show up as critical hp and its just going to increase stress on the mercy player like it already does with the other main healers

Bringing bunker back would help Bap out a lot.

But he never had the impact Ana does.

Like, I’m not hating on how Ana is, I am hating on how all of the other heroes are :wink:

It is not just about pick rate but also about success rate. If lots and lots of people pick Ana then thats okay… however, if they are all picking her because she gets the highest amount of success then thats a problem from a balance perspective.

Because it shows that Ana is inherently and disproportionately better than the other healers. So im not saying she should be nerfed but the playing field needs to be a bit more level. So either buff the other choices or nerf.

any other support that had high pickrates was nerfed because “no one deserves to be the best support pick”

but muh skill ana is an exception i guess, huh
