Would this be considered op?
Because blizzard is completely against any sort of buff to Ana.
Because its kinda stupid-ish.
Itâs already on Widow
Would be unoriginal.
Sheâs unique, just like everyone else.
That didnât stop orisa⌠Reinhardt crys in the corner
the preliminary reason why she doesnât have mobility. the devs initially wanted to give her something but decided against it cause they didnât want mobility to be a common thing to the heroes.
that being said ana really does need some self sustain, either through mobility or alternate self healing
Half-speed Hanzo / Genji wall climb with âsuckerâ hand / foot grips with a new animation.
Any damage taken interrupts the wall climb attempt and she falls to the ground.
This makes it into a repositioning tool rather than a combat escape mechanism.
Ana needs high ground and good angles to do well.
Rather than a grappling hook, I think itâd be cool if she had some sort of flying drone she could hold onto to reach vertical ledges. Itâd be unique to her, but it would also make her feel more like a sniper.
The real question is what are you going to give up for this grappling hook? Because all her skills slots are taken right now.
The only way to keep all her skills is to give her wall climb passive instead.
She is a sniper who has no way of getting herself to a snipers perch. I donât think itâs stupid-ish to consider giving her something similar to Widows grapple. Hanzo and Genji both have wall climb and Wraith and fade are similar.
Yeah, But her sniper was meant for Long range healing, Because sniping has 3 shots to kill an enemy which is enough time for them to get to cover or some other thing
If her being too slippery is a concern, making her means of âclimbingâ a secondary weapon would likely solve it without forcing her current kit to be reworked. In my previous example, she could take the drone out and youâd have to focus on getting up to a ledge rather than doing it mid-fight like Widow can.
The grappling hook wouldnât be for making it easier to snipe enemies. It would be for keeping your distance making it easier to snipe your teammates since her main source of healing is a sniper rifle.
nope not true they r gonna buff ana in the future
When did they say that?
Didnât they say something in the Brigitte q&a thread about talking about possible Ana buffs in the future but they were holding off it being careful since the addition of Moira and Brigitte could possibly bring back a tank meta which would be an idadverdant buff to her? I gotta see if I can find it.
*found what I was thinking of. Not as detailed as I thought it was. Apparently I canât even link to a blizzard post on the forums but:
In her gameplay review she was above the archway in Temple of AnubisâŚthe same place widow likes to snipe alot⌠so she probably had a grapling hook at one time.
plenty of characters have overlapping abilities⌠and at some-point more will overlap if they continue to add charactersâŚthereâs no rule a character canât share 1 abilityâŚespecially when their toolkit as a whole is what makes them unique.
