Yay Ana! Woot! Woot!
< the lonely sound of some far distant person clapping >
He can be difficult because he can stockpile armor around himself like being surrounded by mini healthpacks and you can’t really see them until you realize he’s not dying while you chase him around the room.
Still tho, killing him with 75 armor is easier than a full health Brigitte.
Ana’s doing fine this meta in diamond and above.
I want a torb rework. Mandatory speedo as well. And his new ult is building one of those giant turrets like in Uprising but it only shoots twice molten lava and it lands in random spots.
lol. While every other player in the game keeps jumpin’ up n down in attempt to grab the Ana hero cookie from the top shelf. Hmph! Hmph!
Can’t learn it if you’re not allowed to play it.

Just because ana’s not a must pick doesn’t mean she’s in a bad spot, you know this right?
She’s not in a good place if every other support does everything she can do easier, better and without dying.
She’s a crippled old lady, without any teeth forced to hobble about with a walker and a nanny guard. I know a few Model-T’s that function better than she does.
I’m going to assume you’re trolling at this point and leave this convo.
Trolling? No. Frustrated? You betcha.
She’s a sub par hero that never recovered from her big nerf a year ago.
Just because she’s a garbage hero until you hit plat doesn’t make that a fact that’s untrue. This was supposed to be her meta, mate. Well, it just ain’t.
The hero needs a revisit and there are plently of posts out there offering darn good ideas on how it can be done.
You my friend can’t tell the difference between a troll and a frustrated player near the edge of just quitting. It’s been a year plus waiting for this hero to return. I fully expect it to be another never before she does.
So I’m not wrong in saying that as support heroes go, Ana sucks eggs.

You’re right, ana’s perfect for this meta. As she is right now she does just fine in it. Mercy just does better, because mercy is broken as ever. That has nothing to do with Ana.
reaper is one of the most OP damage heros in the game and that’s a fact. he’s not a noob stomper, if you do bad with him, YOU’RE the noob.

Mercy’s problems are her own. Nerfing Mercy won’t help Ana with her biggest problem, survivability. The two are unrelated.
Right now Ana has too many hard counters that exist in near every game – D.VA, Winston, Tracer, Genji, Doomfist and Sombra. These heroes can shut her down.
You might be right that Mercy and Moira are more efficacious than Ana is; but even if your nerf batted them to bits Ana will still be near unplayable for most people because it’s hard for to stay in the field with so many easy ways to shut her down.
Sleep dart? It’s harder to land that thing than hitting anything with her basic shot. Plus any stray damage from any source will undo the shot. Further it can only affect a solitary single target. That’s not much of an escape tool for a waddling squishy to have.
Healing grenade? It’s on a 10 second cooldown and can only heal her for half her damage. That 20 seconds for her to fully heal herself without aid.
DPS? It’s a sniper rifle. Not very useful against high mobile heroes with very high DPS and lax to-hit requirements. Further her DPS is damage over time and 70. That’s three shots to hit a Tracer who can unwind to restart the bout again.
No. Nerfing Mercy won’t make Ana any better. It’ll just make Mercy worse and dive that much happier.

The most remarkable thing about F tier heroes, is how some people can still play them like they are genuinely viable.
Sure, I don’t see Reaper, Sombra or Bastion in every game, but I still to this day see brutal reapers who have devastating impact on games.
What I’m trying to say is, a hero only has to be at the cusp of viability to be an F tier hero.
Everyone mentioned is very close to being part of OW unified power curve, and that is shown by how people can still perform well on those heroes.
Gonna give it to Bastion because of a bit of bias, and also he’s had the lowest pickrate in Plat - GM inclusive for at least 6 months (that’s as far back as Overbuff goes), and it’s been declining for the entire time. He’s probably been at the bottom since the nerf after his rework, maybe he saw a little bit of play when pirate ship was still popular, but I’m pretty sure he was still at the bottom even then…
Edit: In those ranks, his pickrate is about half that of the person above him in all but Plat…
Poor Torb. Just doesn’t get any love.
Balancing Mercy back down to Moira and Ana is literally the only thing that needs to be done. Ana is fine as is and Moira has her niche. Mercy just does everything and better than everyone else, best mobility, best self sustain, best healing, easiest healing mechanics, best utility. Mercy is OP, so of course no other healers will be picked.
You basically just described dive countering Ana, which is perfectly fine. Ana is balanced enough to have a counter. Now with brigitte, rein and zarya being played more, dive gets punished more often than not.
Get good? Legit if you’re being countered, you’re being countered. Either switch or outplay your counters.
Practice. Sleep dart is probably the third best ability in the game next to Res and Bionade. A 5 second stun should be hard to land. If you do, your team gets a free kill.
Effectively giving Ana 300 hp and her flanker 140.
Why would you even think a healer should dps? It’s almost always better to heal your team… almost. If you can get that pick on the genji running away on low hp, go for it, otherwise protect your team. Both of your abilities can swing a losing team fight.
Dude…The Bridgette Meta changed all that for us…although we got some buffs, the game made it worse for us.
