Can confirm, have a friend who was legit <500SR.
Their gameplay made me want to cry.

Yeah even if they just spam orbs and left click Zen’s skill floor is not that high really.
True, it just tends to drop off if the enemy starts to put resources into stopping you (which pssst, they can do the same with Ana!)
Moira can punish bad DPS, and poorly-positioned squishies, but if they are positioned good or hit their shots, it starts to become an issue. Moira can carry, at least more than a Mercy could. Her duality of Healing and Damage hold her back, though. With no utility, there are more situations where your team is just taking so much damage that you cant out-stat it on Moira. That’s where Ana, Sleep Dart, and Nano comes in. Shutting down enemy carrys for a few seconds, and pocketing a Tank with Nano to force space is where she can shine.

What makes Zen hard to play having great positioning and you have to land your shots on threats

People were mad about Brigitte, Mercy, & Moira because from Bronze to GM, and EVERY. SINGLE. PLATFORM…they were dominating the game…whilst being some of the more easier to grasp heroes in the game.
I won’t deny that Ana might be overtuned, but there’s a clear distinction as to why people aren’t complaining about Ana as much.

No reason?
Idk man that nanoboosted rein rushing through your team every 45 seconds while your team gets anti-healed because all ana has to do is do a wrist maneuver is a lot of reason why other supports become unplayable when faced with this broken character.
And if it’s not rein rushing through your team, it’s genji.
Nanoboost and anti-heal happen to be pretty unstoppable menaces. No counter to nano besides ana herself and anti-heal has no counter if it’s applied (and its not hard to chuck), besides one person zarya barrier.

Yeah as soon as you get out of the lowest ranks he starts getting harder to use.

That doesn’t happen without significant help from the other team.
CC.
We talk about 5 boost assist in GM. Stats tell me that you clearly exaggerate
Ok so basically the best counter to nano is another Ana?

At the lowest ranks I don’t think its the healing that Ana’s have trouble with, its staying alive, landing sleep darts, and using nade effectively, but her healing rifle really isn’t hard to use for what its generally used for, healing big HP target like rienhardt/Dva. Sure its hard to hit a Genji flipping around, but the game is 2-2-2. Ana can just let the 2nd healer handle the DPS and stick to pumping out thousands of HP on bigger targets without much effort.

Using your brain is the best counter

That “wrist maneuver” also needs to be threaded around enemy shields, DM, Deflect, Ally hitboxes, and then timed to be useful at the beginning of the fight, but after abilities such as Bubble and Immortality field while also having to be used before Ana is Hacked, pressured to keep herself alive with it, or a Tank starts to get melted and needs it to stay alive.
Anti is the most skillful ability in the Support Roster, tied with Sleep Dart. I just can’t agree with how you’re seeing Ana as OP. If you are frustrated with how an Ana is destroying your games, try to duo with a good Tank.

Running out of arguments I see?
Insults only prove my point, Ana is clearly overtuned and has been such since the support patch but y’all really insist on defending her.

Brigs pick rates were literal garbage during GOATs which is when she was allegedly OP being the 2nd least picked after baptiste.

How to stop any ult:
Ult tracking, having counter abilities or ults
Nano rein is the easiest to stop you don’t even need any ult, nano Winston on the other you need an ult most of the time

If you want to kill the enemy team, you have to deal damage to them. It’s not difficult to just spamheal your reinhardt and dva for nanoboost. Nano is easily the fastest of the current ultimates to get.
And the only true counter to nanoboost 8 second duration is long hard cc. That is, only sleep dart and ultis like shatter. Other cc does nothing more than tickle a nanoboosted target and doesn’t prevent them from surviving with pure damage mitigation.

Or DF. . .or Sombra. . .Brig, Lucio, Reinhardt, Sigma, Roadhog. Defensive abilities like Bubble and DM help too. There are plenty of Nano Counters, you just have to counter the hero GETTING nanoed. And you have to do it really well, or you’re dead. It’s a skill check, you and your team against the enemy Ana and her Nano Target.
How to avoid a nano rein: Enemy doesn’t have Lucio, you have. You countered nano Rein
