Hook combo is the only thing this character had going for it. I’m not a fan of when they just completely nuke a characters identity. Same thing with zen discord, zen has been trash for a long time why mess with the whole reason to pick the character. Next up is probably anti nade and again yeah it’s strong but why else are you picking Ana? Yeah I’m in metal ranks, but balancing the game off of the top 2000 players and streamer outcry is just dumb to me. Maybe make the 90% of players that keep the lights on a higher a priority, because at these levels of the game you miss hooks, you miss nades. Just because something is possible with incredible accuracy and precision doesn’t always trickle down to the largest majority of play the game has.
Idk man, he’s one of my favorites and I don’t feel he lost his identity, just that he’s way harder to kill now and throw a weird junkrat trap into the floor (which he mentioned in his voice lines for years now).
Also he is much harder to kill now which might be related to the next BP with the Mauga + Ashe burning combos since as an Ashe main I have to currently hit a lot of headshots + burning to kill him now and he can 1 shot me.
