So nano is one of the best abilities in the game without a doubt. 300 healing, 50% damage reduction and 30%-50% damage boost (pretty sure it is 50%) Since this is so good what if there was a drawback to using it such as slowness. This could maybe just affect combo ults, because nano ults feel super oppressive and you could just be using it to heal someone.
“No! Ana! Don’t nano me! Please nooo!”
Ana: “Hehehehe GET IN THERE”
*slowness intensifies

When you say it like that my idea doesn’t sound so good anymore

Nano-blade is opressive, but there are counters. Nowadays you have usually only one defensive ultimate, but it used to be that you had mass rez or even both Lucio and Zen on your team that could counter these combos.

Then that would make it one of the worst assist ults a character could have in this game, and that is saying something…

Ya ig that is true. I didn’t really mean like super slow I just meant like Symmetra slow because it takes her forever to walk
I mean Reaper is already one of the slower characters, as is most tanks aside from D.Va and Wreaking Ball. Imagine getting nano boosted and it caused your character to slow down. Instead of going in there guns blazing and being like “Let’s do this!” you would instead be like “**** ANA! WHY THE HELL DID YOU BOOST ME?! BWLIHFSFKJSHGFL”.

I think that the devs wanna avoid possible negative abilities regarding teammates like the plague so players won’t start using certain heroes and their mechanics just to be toxic. Walling the spawn with Mei has been a staple meme ever since release and I don’t think we need new ones

Because it doesn’t sound good. No one would want to be nanoed.

Only if we change every nanoboost line to “I am feed incarnate.” D.Va would have the best one.

This sounds like nano overdose to me and wonders how Genji and Rhin are alive.
Pour souls.

We have things like immortality field, rez, lucio ult, rally , transcendence, etc and you think nano is oppressive?
If it was really that oppresive Ana wouldn’t be #4th picked hero. Mercy, Zen and Baptiste are all far more oppressive and stronger. Every other support ult benefits the support too but nano gives nothing to Ana.

Nanoboost is not an issue … why would you nerf it?

idk I was just trying to think of things that wouldn’t make nano blade as oppressive, so making genji, one of the speediest heroes without abilities walk slower might help

The thing is nanoblade is by far the strongest nano combo (beside nano Mercy of course) and everything else is good, but not really team killing. And nanoblade has enough counters … Genji isn’t in the best position right now, let him have his moment once in a while.

What of just lowering numbers? For example adding 30% speed but 30% dmg resistance and 30% damage dealt?

but slowness would affect nano Mercy when she valks
That would be a tripple nerf for an ult that isn’t problematic.
Nothing can stop a nano Mercy.

It would make securing kills harder with nano than without. Imagine putting it on literally any of the Tanks sans Hammond. Close-range heroes would be particularly screwed.
