Why buff Ana now

It seems so silly to me that this hero can’t just be average for more than a month meanwhile there’s some heroes who suffered from being useless for years

Why is Ana getting special treatment even though she’s problematic for the game?

Game is balanced by streamers, and the streamers say Ana falling below 90% pickrate for more than a month is a red alert situation.

Just what tanks need, Ana in the game more. Team4 is clueless when it comes to tanks. This would indicate they really don’t care or don’t understand tank play.

Ana has ruined the tank role for so long and now they want to bring her back into more games again. Idiots.

What streamers are saying this?

Pretty sure these dolts just ‘balance’ the game based on their own misguided beliefs/ misunderstanding of the game.

She’s not getting special treatment, Ana just sucks.

“Ana is an interesting hero, and one of the most played in the entire game. So, we’re hoping that this adjustment brings her to a place where she feels viable but not dominant.”

This quote is hilarious when you realize that nobody is picking ana because she’s interesting, but because anti-heal is a busted mechanic.

EDIT: I’m not sure why this is a reply to somebody, I was replying to the topic.

The main problem I have with nade its how ez is not to miss that [REDACTED] thing, not the effect itself. At least sleep requires some aim.

Ana buff, [REDACTED] me.

The new DPS passive was making Ana less effective than intended. Even after the nade buff, she will still need 4 shots to kill distant squishy targets.

Well regardless, i agree!

Was nice not being bombarded with anti nades every 10 seconds as tank.

And with discord being broken AF… gonna be real fun to whoever is left still playing tank.

  • Option A: AntiNade AntiHeal is getting weaker on Tanks
  • Option B: The devs refuse to stop using their broken winrate math formula above all other balancing concerns. And it basically shows that “Attack preferred” heroes always need buffs.

She is so powerful with this buff.

My guess would be massive player drop off.

Because for 2 weeks it doesn’t make sense when there are supports struggling worse than Ana in this divey rush meta.

And the radio silence on Sym convinces me more.

Either that or that skin of Ana’s wasn’t selling so I got to pump her rookie numbers up

I’ve played Ana since she was released simply because she is fun.

You really shouldn’t generalise your own opinions.

nobody wasn’t meant literally, but I should express “an extreme minority” to be more specific to peculiar minds. Thank you for your input.

You’re welcome.

You are still presuming and generalising based on your own personal thoughts. It is a quick way to get your thoughts and arguments dismissed except by those who already agree with you.

There is a lot more evidence that you are simply wrong.

Which is the majority, which you are not.

yea seems like its influencers. i like ana but i wouldnt mind if she taked a break for a while. i think the heroes that are more of a problem are problematic in balancing. still thats the devs job not ours. they have to figure it out heh

Because ana really too weak….

by the way, buff Doomfist is the weirdest thing, he was the strongest tank, but he didn’t get nerfed lol
