I’m not saying it’s not possible. But you see one every 500 games. The most underrated support in the game that saves team wipes with sleep darts and secured team kills with nades but can’t get any form of credit outside of an occasional endorsement from a recipient of fed nanos.
I’m not trying to sound whiny. But I play Ana with optimal efficiency. Strategically positioning depending on the comp. landing a high % of shots, feeding our ults with big brain nanos, and overall rarely ever get outhealed.
All the other supports require significantly less skill but get the accolades they deserve.
I dunno. I do play this game to shine at times, and even tho I’ve dumped an enormous amount of time into Ana to perfect her no matter how good of a game I have a double riptire can easily steal the PotG over someone that saved or secured a team save / wipe. I don’t get it.

I remember the time where I got a Genji 4k blade, and then a moira who healed and damaged into a grav got the POTG over me.
At this point I think Ana’s best hope for potg is going to come with Overwatch 2, and only assuming they then figure out how to make dual potgs, so Ana can get at least get in on her Nano highlights. Unfortunately, the current algorithm just doesn’t want what Ana does. All of the potgs I’ve gotten with her have been random, with highlights focusing on stray kills and nading up a tank to full health. As it is, her peak action points very often overlap with a teammate performing some peak action point, and so it’s often them that gets the potg.
I’m grateful at least that the potg algorithm did get some update, because she definitely does get potg more than she used to, as do other supports. But it’s still especially rare, and even more so with Nano Blades being even more rampant.
Its possible to get ana potg but you have to play at the highesf of her skill ceiling while everyone else plays at the lowest of theirs.
Ultimately I think nano should be reverted to old nano, and if someone gets potg with your nano then it should just be transfered as your own potg.
I got one recently, it was just me throwing my nade into a grab and then sleeping and bming some sombra who was annoying me all game.
TLDR; if you want potg as Ana be toxic
If she got frequent potg people will scream nerf because they want potg fornthemselves
just be patient with the nade and nail them when they are about to to die.
it’s not condusive to playing ana well, but it will get you potgs.
but really everyone does cheeky stuff like this to get potgs because they really don’t care.
I realize there isn’t an algorithm to predict a team save, but the “shutdown” PotG rarely comes up anymore. This is partially why you rarely see her shine
I haven’t seen more than one support PotG in comp this season. It’s ridiculous, at least allow us a life saver once in a while or a shut down.
even stupid
me get 4 nuke with d.va
and then Sigma got the Potg by just holding M1 and didn’t kill anyone on the feed
probably due to how POTG works,
it calculates based on +fire points on a short period of time (if im not mistaken)
and utility does not give fire points, which is arguably anas strongest side
Honestly they should change potg to your highlight of the game as it will never be fair for all characters and even if it somehow was fair, people particularly ones with high kill potential DPS characters will complain their 3 man multi kill was not the potg
Slept a charging rein pinned on my mercy, anti’d 3 people secured the kill on two of them doing 75% of their health or more and picked up two teammates from 25% health and potg goes to?
…
Junk with a 2 tire kill.
I do see it in every Genji potg at the top right with the smaller icon just getting squished more and more as more eliminations keep popping up
The only way yo get ana potg is to get at least a double kill yourself.
I once got POTG with like 5 hours on ana by missing my teammate and hitting an enemy, then throwing a nade and killing their Baptiste who was trying to heal the person that I accidentally killed by missing my teammate.
I has such skill, OWL hire me already.
It’s possible. I have about 15 or so potg with her. Not all is recorded, but i count them. The point is, ana can get potg only when the team is playing average.
