ANA
Sleep dart
(This was already the case for tanks but making it so it applies to all heroes now)
Biotic Grenade
That’s it.
It’s not that hard, it’s not that big of a deal, but for some reason you refuse to do it.
Please.
Not a bit of compesation for only basically half the efficiency on her offense getting gutted on not even the strongest support, you realise that would make her a throw pick, right?
At least some sort of compesation for only the nade getting nerfed is needed, nerfing both abilities is overkill i think, without even more compesation that is.
You’re right, poor Ana, how could they nerf a hero like that without giving him any compensation…
Roadhog has entered the chat
Uhh,
Scrap Gun
- Damage per pellet reduced from 6.6 to 6
- Recovery time reduced from 0.85 to 0.8 seconds
- Reload time reduced from 2 to 1.75 seconds
- Maximum ammo increased from 5 to 6
Somewhat neutral compesation.
Whole Hog
- Maximum duration increased from 6 to 8 seconds
- Ultimate cost increased 8%
Compesation
Chain Hook
- Chain Hook cooldown now starts when the ability ends instead of at the start
- Chain Hook cooldown reduced from 8 to 6 seconds
Compesation
Take a Breather
- Now amplifies healing received by 50% for 2.5 seconds after finishing Take a Breather.
Compesation
And hes getting reworked, so even if he didnt have compesation, there would be a reason for it, not to mention 2 wrongs doesnt make a right and Hog was a hard meta tank, not a somewhat strong support.
You know my dear friend, you should learn the meaning of sarcarm lol
I know about Roadhog’s changes, but that doesn’t take away the fact that in game, the hero isn’t viable right now.
Taking into consideration that Ana is the support with the highest pickrate and that she has been meta for… I don’t know 3 or 4 years?
It seems perfectly fine to me that at least for one season Ana is left out of the meta, it is obvious that the changes proposed in this thread are not 100% viable and that the hero will need his respective compensation, but for God’s sake, Ana needs a big nerf from a long time ago.
What a pointless hero that would make her
If you nerf her nade that badly, I would have compensated by reducing the CD to 8 seconds.
For the latest patch, i rather they kept CD at 10 seconds but reduce anti-heal to 75% to give anti-ed enemies a fighting chance.
reduced healing is pointless,
why would u spend your heal on someone that got anti
like your tank gonna survive on 25 HPS on mercy healing them, rather go damageboost or healing someone else
also if i play ana and see my tank getting naded, i just go dps instead
if i play lifeweaver i will go dps or healing other target instead healing them for 35 hps
also she allready balanced
gets called out
I wAs BeInG sArCaStIc
Which just proves that only healbots are mad about it. I guess two supports can combine their healing and pump 75hps into 1 tank that’ll save the game
lol yeah, even if 2 people healing them its like u said 75 hps, that wont saved out of position tank or tank that make bad play
if u got anti ed whole game as tank, and end up die it means u doing bad play / bad position as tank
I don’t think these changes will make many people happy.
The sleep change only affects DPS, doing nothing to help against its effects on tanks whom it’s easier to land on, and a 3.5s snooze is still going to be a death sentence on DPS anyway.
Reducing healing by 50% is still going to be a death sentence in a lot of cases anyway. Harmony will do 15 HPS. Mercy will do 28 HPS. Ana will do 44 HPS. On a tank, that’s not going to cut it. It’s also a change that rewards the bigger, burstier healing out there - which is also the kind of stuff that’s frustrating for people to go up against and I’d like toned down.
I think Ana’s bionade is a symptom and not the disease. It can feel necessary to apply purple because sometimes, it feels like things don’t die otherwise. If sustain didn’t feel so high, bionade would naturally become less valuable.
Doesn’t seem like sarcasm when you seem to be doubling down on what you said.
Doesn’t mean he wasnt compesated though, just not enough and he is still somewhat viable, just pretty horrible into his bad matchups, though again, there is a validreason.
Just high pickrate doesn’t translate into gutting nerfs, overall powerlvl of the character, winrates, specially on high lvl is what truly should be used, shes not even as strong as Illari and Bap on high lvl, she doesnt deserved to get gutted, dont think theres a character that deserve that lvl of a nerf currently.
Ana isnt even the meta on high lvls, thats also not the way to do it.
Burst healing exists in this game. Hog could self-heal for 175 hp. Transcendence would still heal a ton. Tree would be pretty decent. Double support could save people from the nade. And yes 25 hps >>>>>>>>> 0 hps lol. If tank gets naded and double pocketed it’s like if only one support would heal him now. That’s a lot better than if he received 0 help.
also if for some reason they nerfed it to 50% as people demand
they will buff it on other aspect 100%, like reducing the cd to somethign stupid like 8s
which will alot more annoying to play against
They could always try the Moira strat by making her healing with nade potentially more valuable than using it for damage. Her nade’s duration is 3.5s, maybe up it back to 4s for heals and down to 3 or 2.5s for anti?
The 5s duration for sleep is of vital importance, however. I use the one sleep dart I hit per game to change my name, my appearance, and my address before the Ritalin-addict Tracer on the enemy team hunts me down and executes me.
Tossing tree and trans for every anti seems like a viable play to you?
No but it would stop nade from being complete counter to Trans making it useless
Ana isnt meta on high elos?
Ok im done, im out of this thread.
High elo meta is Illari/Bap, sometimes Kiriko or Ana as well, Ana is still a strong pick tho mind you, shes just not the best.
