It’s not at all difficult to land though, with some practise. And easily leads to team fight wins if you land a good one.
Unless Blizzard intends to add more ways of cleansing it, then I really think it should receive some form of minor nerf.
However if they add more ways of cleansing it, then it can remain as is.
You are comparing Ana to Moira? Seriously? Like Doom would say:
You must be joking.
Both of those supports are 5 times easier to play than Ana.

It’s the Tanks job to make it hard to hit; I realise that’s not always reliable, but if your Tanks are bad, you can try to spread out so she can only hit one person at a time. Then put all your resources into that person for 4 seconds. If she has to go around a good D.Va, and a shield, it gets really hard to hit, really fast. In a chaotic fight, it gets easier, but you have to put resources on her to stop her from carrying if the player is good. I’d rather have more counterplay via more cleanses as well.
OK. Her damage is only 70 per shot, which while being on par with McCree, is not only slower in fire rate, but also damage over time meaning that it’s easier to negate. Not to mention that lovely delay on her projectile speed while not aiming down sight which means you have to learn 2 aiming types and switch on the fly.
This is not mentioning that if Ana is doing damage instead of healing she could miss an important window to save someones life. Both her healing and damage require good aim and positioning. Because she has to divide her attention between damage, aim, and utility her damage doesn’t even come near McCree.
McCree average damage per game of comp: 14k
Ana: 4K
Her healing is strong, but she needs line of sight and therefore puts herself at risk, not to mention that her main defence, being sleep dart, also requires good aim as well. It’s also a projectile, meaning that it’s harder to aim, along with it’s small hitbox. Her nade is the only part of her kit that I can objectively say is way too strong, 100% anti-heal is busted and wins team fights alone.
However, because I am a reasonable person and actually use in game knowledge and stats to back up my points, I also know that nade can be cleansed by multiple meta heroes at the moment, can be blocked by shields, and can be waited out with good positioning.
Happy? I used stats and sound logic to argue back. So which flavour of “you’re a dumb support main” or “you’re wrong and stupid” will you use this time?
???
Possibly the easiest ability to land in the game (except for maybe dynamite), unless you are the type to throw it directly at DVa and her DM, but that is on the player.
Until we get more counterplay, I just find it silly that a support ability basically counters the rest of the support roster.
Her damage isn’t actually affected by armour. When they overhauled the interactions with armour, they made it so that damage-over-time isn’t reduced by armour, and Ana’s shots are considered damage-over-time.
Wrong. Ana can put out insane damage/healing. You are a support player, and so you do not understand how to balance the game- I don’t blame you, you don’t know better. Just stop attempting, and leave.
yeah i rather wanna see support buffs instead of nerfing. we seen how devs exaggerate with their nerfs (baptiste)
CALLED IT
Oh it’s almost too easy. You got sat down and can only respond with hyperbolic statements like
Where’s your numbers? Where’s your comparison to DPS numbers and real statistics per match to back that up? Where’s your argument? As I said, weak troll at best.

They’ve been nerfing the meta supports. If they leave Ana alone, it’s blatant favouritism.
You cannot call me a troll to hide your flaws. You know I’m correct. You can hide behind your briggite profile picture, claiming ‘supports are balanced’ and that ‘Dan is a troll’, but you know that I am not. Deep down, you know Ana is overpowered. You’re just scared that if Blizzard start to nerf support heroes that your precious Briggite will get dumpstered. Well, I’m sorry, but she is. And her nerfs are long overdue.
On the D.Va player. It’s easy if they aren’t paying attention, but if they are its pretty hard. Once the enemy realizes they have a good Ana, they’ll change playstyles to watch for nade. If they don’t, free win 
That’s not bad balance, that’s bad play. I DO want to see more cleanses, like I’ve said throughout this thread, but directly nerfing Anti-nade is a bit much
Nah. I’ve said in past that Bap has pretty low skill floor and people were like nope. He requires a lot of skill lol.
Unfortunately what OW playerbase will never admit:
You can’t nerf skill. If someone wants to feel better, then cool what do I know.
Most complaints are about nade though.
It’s easy to land them. The thing is, you can heal people as Ana as much as you want. But it’s difficult to rank up with that playstyle. You’ve to play like zen to do that.
Most often you play Ana in lower tiers and people will go past barriers/walls etc.
I’m fabulous honey 
I mean… not really hiding… It’s glaring gold and stands out, 's why i chose it
Nah. I’ve already laid out all the numbers and stats and reasoning for you.
Not really. They can nerf her more, I don’t mind. I’m good enough at my role I’ll find value in another hero 
THE NUMBERS JASON
WHAT DO THEY MEAN
Oh… wait… you didn’t present any to prove your argument. I’m keeping this going because it’s really entertaining to watch ignorance have a voice.
