I’ve played this game for 6 years and have 2 hours on Ana. One was this week. What I discovered was shocking.
I don’t like scopes. My favorite role is tank, but my best is support. I play Zen, Brig, Lucio and Illari there. Nothing about Ana is ANYTHING I like, I have no experience on her, but she’s an actual win farm. Literally all you need to get 85% of Ana’s value is stand on a high ground and have support gamesense. It’s ridiculous! THIS is the hero people say is skilled and perfectly designed? I’m at less risk than I’ve ever been with higher healing per second than most supports and the best ranged consistent DPS in the support roster. Where’s the FALLOFF on this shit???
The gameplay has the complexity of a blank sheet of paper. You just waltz over to some balcony and the match is won in 5 minutes, because Ana has the stats and abilities to remove all the attritional aspects of a team fight from a match. You pepper their supports with damage so they retreat, immediately shoot the tank, and nade them when 40-50% of their health is gone. They die, you stay up top healing and getting cleanup kills. RINSE. AND. FUCKING. REPEAT.
My respect for Ana players is at an all time low right now, you cheeky bitches managed to convince people what you’re doing was hard or at least required thought to avoid nerfs while every other support but MOIRA AND MERCY is harder, faster paced, and takes more risks. It’s so disgustingly pathetic and evil part of me respects it. It’s like breaking your right arm and getting someone else to do your work for you, but you neglected to tell them you’re actually left handed, yall are on your insidious shit
no she isnt hard
