I love nano ppl 
Iām a bit sad since I donāt have know the old nano with speed boost.
Iāve see some old clip, was looking fun :x
Ana is little by little going to be my main, I really love her even if itās harder to be constant for a guy like me where OW is my first shooter.
I miss Ana mains grandma is so fun to play with as a mercy main because sometimes itās sooo funny to fly past the person she was gonna nano and she hits me and I Valkyrie and go nuts. Maybe I do it on purpose sometimes but hey who can blame a blood thirsty mercy main
Grandmas come back
Ahh, I hope you stay true to the granny way. After getting repeatedly yelled at by tracer I stopped playing Ana for my own sanity.
iāll be Watching over youā¦ -Ana 2016
Sometimes if we donāt have any decent nano targets on the team Iāll throw the nano to our Mercy, Symmetra, Moira, or Lucio just for fun. Maybe do a nanoed-Trans just as a joke.
Usually works more often than it shoudā¦
Ana main for lyfe. You caused me to look at Overbuff - top 17%. I guess thatās kinda OK. Top 5% in Junkrat and i havenāt really played him since buffs 
it was amazing, really amazing, probably too amazing to have in ow.
Sssh, the adults are talking.
And your own team 
Nano Moira always work.
Sheās already horrible w/o, but with nano + her easy dmg ability make her a realy big threat to the enemy team xD
Iām a Genji main, I understand i need to stand still.
Stop blaming everything on Genji mains
I see more of that toxic attitude from soldier and mccree mains.
From a Rein main, donāt listen to the haters. You are all lovely! 
I presume sym doesnāt count?
THIS IS WHY TOXICITY IS BAD.
To anyone who thinks it necessary to flame on someone for bad gameplay, bear this in mind: your anger and bad attitude results in someone missing more shots than average. You take a problem that isnt even there and make it worse than it ever truly was.
I also main ana quite a bit because of what you described, sometimes Ana can pull off stuff that no other hero can and itās only possible if you go into this crazy focused mode where everything seems to click, itās a huge rush of adrenaline that only Ana players know
This. This is why Ana is my #1 played hero.
In the perfect moment when it all comes together and every shot and sleep dart lands, it feels ssssoo good.
The āfocusā mode is so accurate. Once it hits 2am and Iāve been playing for 4ish hours, I hit my peak. Almost every shot is perfectly aimed, my sleep darts usually never miss, and my awareness skyrockets through the roof to where I can hear a Zenyatta walking. Exactly.
You described it perfectly.
Console Ana-Main here, despite Anaās subpar Pick-Rate (2.06%) & Win-Rate (43.78%), Iām probably going to play her until Overwatch dies.
Contrary to most peopleās opinion, I honestly find Genji-Mains to be my favorite people to heal and a fun challenge to my own abilities , not to mention theyāre usually the only people who can effectively and consistently use Nano Boost without panicking and absolutely flubbing it. (I find it strange how most players who use Soldier: 76 can never capitalize off of Nano Boostā¦)
That said, I find that most people donāt actually know how to play with Ana as thereās little to no situation where youād actually use her in place of another healer.
Just the other day I was in a match where I consistently slept this Reaper and the Widowmaker on my team kept waking him up because they thought they could kill him without using her scope (I got a Death Blossom in the face for thatā¦)
Then you have the Tanks thatāll charge back in the fight despite being at critical health and the Support players who are not used to having an Ana on the team and constantly neglect to heal her as if she had passive self-sustain.
At the rate that the game is going, I fear that Ana will still struggle even if Dive goes out of meta as everyone is too used to playing with less demanding healers.
ā¦Regardless, Iām gonna keep doing what I do, praise or vitriol be damned.
Anyway, I just came in this thread to let you fellow Ana-Mains know that if you guys ever need a pick-me-up:
ā¦there will always be places for you to feel welcome at.
Hey, nano-Sym aināt no joke, itās a legitimate OPAF strategy. 180 damage per second, no aim required, with that microwaving sound that makes people forget how to aimā¦ Iāve seen some thingsā¦
Dont worry. We have Junkertown.
This is why I donāt play Ana or like when sheās on my team. We just feel less-effective. Doesnāt matter how good the Ana is.
Also, to OP: We donāt hate you for playing support, we just wish you were playing an (imo, objectively) better support. Anaās not useless or unwanted, you just really feel when sheās on the team versus someone like Zen or Moira who can make an insane impact. Or if that person really does have such good accuracy, theyād probably be making more of an impact playing a DPS. If Ana gets some buffs(sleep dart in particular has some wicked anti-synergy in such a fast paced game with damage flying everywhere), that could change.
This post on the whole is about attention, and Iād say the same thing I say to all these posts: If you main a hero, especially an off-meta hero, youāre going to get flak. Either continue on like you have been doing and get the flak, or learn to flex a bit more and try some other characters. You might even enjoy it.
[Although, cynically, I know you wonāt, as negative-attention and criticism is still adjacent to the attention youāre looking for.]
You have more hours on Mercyā¦
