Why exactly is this shocking?

Well, it’s pretty obvious that multiple AOE heals heal more than shooting a single target…
Nothing new.

Yea because most lucio’s sit on heals the entire time
If people played lucio correctly he wouldn’t have this much heals done, this just show a people are playing him wrong. Doesn’t show anything about Ana
She’s fine

Because of how much Mercy/Moira heal at.
You know “main healers”.

Main healers do more healing than an off healer Lucio and a nerfed Ana? Shocking.
Out of curiosity where does Brigitte sit in all this?

Lucio does more healing than Ana in every rank except GM, and even then, Ana only does a ~200 more average healing than Lucio.
This isn’t new information. Lucio has always done buckets of healing due to his AoE nature.
Stats are meaningless. Even though Lucio is doing more average healing, he can’t save allies from anything more than chip damage. Ana’s burst healing can actually save allies from death, even though she’s not doing a ton of healing over the course of a game. Lucio soaks up every bit of chip damage that happens around him, boosting his numbers, but Ana can’t afford to waste shots to heal such paltry damage.
I’m not saying that Ana is fine, but these stats don’t show the issue. Ana’s problem is self-sustain, namely that her primary tool for utility and healing is wasted on healing herself. She needs another way to heal herself outside of her grenade so she can properly use her kit.

Dunno, these stats are from February.
But the numbers haven’t changed much except for Ana damage.
Ana does 18 more healing according to overbuff (in all)
But they do show the issue when you realize how much healing Moira/Ana do.
Isn’t Ana supposed to be a “main healer”?

Yes.
Ana is first and foremost a burst healer.
Lucio’s consistency and AoE give him impressive/decent stats but the impact of a big % of that avg healing is low.
Thing is Ana heals aren’t even much higher than Zen heals. But Zen does 2-3x more damage, plus boosted damage.
She also lacks a dramatic game changing Ult like transcendence.
Lucio healing his entire team at once without amp it up comes out to 92 HPS (5*16 HPS team + 12 HPS self)
As long as he’s healing 4 people at once (including himself) he’s outhealing ana. If he’s healing 3 people at once, he’s on par with Mercy.
I find it amusing how overall damage for Mercy goes down
That’s because teammates protect their healers more, and damage dealers are competent.
That said, technically Mercy has more damage per second on her pistol than Ana’s rifle.
