    Ana was the first Support with burst Healing but the difference is that you actually have to have good mechanical Skill and single target decision making. Despite some of her strong abilities in the past that caused different metas, i still think she is the most well designed Support in the History of Overwatch and there is a reason why Players love her and her gameplay loop so much. She is high Skill, high risk and high reward.
    5v5 might be a reason why nade and sleep can be frustrating (esp for the solo tank) but tbh i dont think thats an Ana specific Problem (Even Zen had to get nerfed because of Discord orb being too strong on the solo tank). Its more like a format Problem that causes those issues

      @artimist0315 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't really think it's solely a format problem but more so a playstyle problem. Tank heroes have been getting used to being impossible to kill if supported, so they make a lot more poor positioning and engagement decisions. The number of time I've seen a tank run at the entire enemy team without using cover or having an escape plan as if there wasn't 4 people targeting them, and then rage when they got bursted just comes to show how most tank players have never adapted to not having a Zarya/Dva to bail them out, and honestly without a nade, cc, orb or insane shot gun they rarely even get punished for their mistake. Playing classic I've seen so many tanks almost die instantly because they were so used to being practically invisible they took the worst positioning decision expecting the poor Mercy in their team to bail them out.

      ​@@hyeongpinkz Ana is the most demanding Support Hero in the game (Next to Lucio and maybe Zen imo). She is the only Support Hero that actually needs good mechanical skill based around single target Healing. Juno is close tho, the only Part about her Kit that i dislike are her Torpedoes.
      The reason why hitting shots feels easier to do nowadays is because of the Season 9 Hitboxes and health Pools. Nade and sleep are just problematic because of 5v5 and role passives (she doesnt have to nade herself that much anymore compared to OW1) but again thats not an Ana specific Problem. The Devs have dumbed down the Game so much with problematic Hero Designs, 5v5 and Season 9 that everything in the Game feels way easier to do and way more about Play denial than playmaking.

    Not going to lie, I think the healing creep throughout OW since Ana’s launch has actually been one of the worst things to happen to the game, and I see almost no one talking about it.
    (1) Prioritizes tanky, sustain-based compositions that have plagued pro metas for years.
    (2) Lowers skill curves by reducing emphasis on mechanics and positioning if mistakes can be forgiven by massive healing.
    (3) Necessitates burst damage by needing new heroes/abilities to be able to chunk through massive healing numbers.
    (4) Reduces support roster diversity by making every new support hero a heal-dumper. Sym is gone, and Lucio/zen-esque heroes seemingly won’t ever be added again.
    (5) Leads to in game community/social problems where healing is considered the be-all-end-all of team-building, and support players are bullied for not healing enough. (Maybe could be folded into (2))
    Playing the OW classic mode the past couple weeks has really made me realize how much healing creep has (in my opinion) hurt OW. I’m not sure how the devs could reduce it, though, without completely reworking nearly every support hero added post-Ana.

    • @tau-5794

      I think Ana would be interesting if, instead of anti being on her nade, she had a better version of the DPS passive where she could deny up to 40% of healing for 1 second after landing a shot. So she becomes more of an assassin, lethal type support instead of one with an ability able to just deny a Zen or Queen ult. Nade could still be used in self defense but it would be more in the old style of prioritizing the self-heal instead of the anti heal and damage it has now, since her gun would provide the majority of her killing power.

    It's amazing how one character is allowed to counter literally everything, because "that's how it always was". Any time you're playing tank and Ana isn't visible on the screen, you should be asking "Where is Ana?". Don't even THINK about ulting before you hear that faint noise of her sleep dart over the booming cacophony of the battle. If she has it, you can kiss your ult goodbye. Few people actually main her, but Ana has the highest pickrate by far, because the losing team swaps to her out of desperation. The best thing about Overwatch Classic is the absence of Ana and Sombra. It's like taking a vacation.

    Thought people like to blame specific metas or balancing decisions to explain why so many people stopped playing, I think the main reason why overwatch has been slowly dying in the casual eyes is because of how reliant on invisible sustain the game has become. Going back to overwatch classic and seeing so many streamers who aven't touched the game in years do they same openned my eyes to the fact that the game used to be so easy to understand. I feel like in modern overwatch you have so many heroes with random healing/overhealth mechanics that have zero visual indication and that just make healthpool look like roller coasters, moving up and down with no sense of what is actually causing it beside being out of cover. Wether it's Moira Spray, Brig pack, brig inspire, brig rally, bap grenade's AOE, bap burst, Junkerqueen's bleed, Kiriko's paper, Lifeweaver's dash, Illari's pylon, Mauga's passive and lifesteal, Juno's orbitars, ... It feels like at almost any point healthpool go up and down without any clear indication of what's causing it, and for a casual player the game has literally become impossible to understand. I've even seen grand master players not knowing if a new hero had passive healing or if it's just a random lucio passing by. In overwatch 1, if you got healed out of nowhere, it was a Lucio case closed. And every healing ability besides it were single target with an obvious particle effects and animation, now so many heroes have random invisible passives or lingering effects on their abilities that create random instances of healing.

      As an Ana one trick I’d say ur best bet is to go widow. Extremely annoying character for Ana since you need very precise positioning because of ur limited movement. A good position will be mid to long range and be able to see the enemy and your own team. (Although all these criteria being checked is quite rare.) In most cases widow happens to position where she can see Ana so the Ana has retreat and find cover meaning she can’t inject no where near as much value as her original position.
      Also you can just go tracer and annoy the fuck out of Ana since your a skinny little mosquito

      You can pick her out, even with her Cooldowns. Sleep dart is a Skill shot and single target with a cast time and travel time. You can even kill her through her nade If she uses it defensively.
      Ana has to be in LoS to get value. She has to make the decision who to heal, who to damage, when to use nade (If she uses it on someone she is very vulnerable to dive and leaves herself at risk). She doesnt have any form of Mobility to escape a full Dive and has to Position herself properly or else she will die or wont get any value. Nano boost is single target too.
      If we want to Talk about a Hero in the Support role that is too strong, its Kiriko. Kiri has a smaller hitbox than Ana, she has a wallclimb, a Teleport that can go through 10 walls (she doesnt even have to be in LoS), better damage, a better ultimate and you dont even have to aim properly to heal someone. Suzu cleanses, heals and gives Invulnerability which you cant even interact with. Kiriko is a better and easier Ana in every way. You cant kill her properly because she has so many bail Out abilities on shorter Cooldowns and cant even interact with her abilities. Ana has weaknesses, Kiriko doesnt have any weaknesses. 95% of Kiriko Players are just shit on the hero since her release.

    Blizzard absolutely didn't and still don't know what to do with it.
    Their first attempt to fix it was over health with Brigitte... "If I can't heal you I will just give you more HP." And it worked... Too well actually...
    Their second attempt was Baptiste with Immortality... And oh boy how fun it was to sit in a corner cycling its CDs with other protection CDs so you could never die.
    And finally their third attempt was Kiriko with cleanse and invulnerability. Literally one of the most hated characters in the game. She could do it all... Flank, escape any situation, counter almost every ult in the game with a skill, damage boost and heal like crazy.
