Ana needs buffs

She needs self sustain so badly if she is the only support with 0 mobility and yet has no self sustain.

No she doesn’t need it. And Blizzard have explicitly stated that Ana is built in a way that her team should help her out, rather than give self sustain. Zenyatta has no mobility either, just saying (shields don’t do much in combat).

Whilst it wasn’t a mobility buff she just had some nice buffs in the latest patch.

Having shields is enough for him to sustain out of fights plus he has an actual useful ultimate, ana has nothing rather than having to waste the grenade on herself

Been playing some Ana and the clip change is good but not a fan of the shooting through targets. What I think should have been done is have the grenade be a gas grenade the release Moira Moira style mist and work similar to the bacta grenade in Star Wars battlefront. Also think coalescins should remove anti heal. Thoughts?

Honestly we don’t really need another heal over time Support hero, and Ana excels in bring burst heals, that’s what makes her unique.

And definitely no way should Coalescence remove anti-heal, that’s a powerful ult (just like Zenyatta’s) and it needs something to negate it.

Okay, this is kinda follow up to something I’ve seen people suggest about passing through targets. I’ve seen people suggesting that first target receives 100% of the heal and next 50% and so on. I’m thinking alternative.

Could it work like this maybe: If your tank has lost something like 20hp and you’re trying to heal someone in the front, if your shot hits that tank (or any other thats on the way) it would give that 20hp to that tank and pass the rest of the heal to next, for the person you we’re actually trying to heal in the first place.

It might not be enough to make Ana meta but I think it would be improvement for her recent patch.

We all know that ana is in very Very VERY bad place, She doesn’t have Any Mobility and Requires skill AND her nano doesn’t boost speed anymore! So ana Should have new passive ability that let her turn invisible if she stand still for 1 or 2 seconds, She can Shoot/Throw grenade etc while invisible and of course, the enemy can see her the bullet and follow it in order to kill her, and also fit her lore, when she called herself “The Ghost” Please Jeff make it happen!

Don’t make lies like that. Ana isn’t in that bad of a place, yes she is challenged by some metas but she ain’t useless, and good Ana players can work well with their team. As stated in several posts, Blizzard have explicitly stated Ana does NOT need a mobility skill or self heal.

Lies? so everyone is lying even Blizzard? Ok. And she is the only healer requires so much skill, every hero at least have mobility or high Damage in order to survive but ana Has none, she does have High Heals but it has ammo which makes her useless, AT THE VERY LEAST let her have Infinite Ammo but no, she is the worst hero, better yet, The worst character in overwatch

That must make Ana mains the best players the game has since they can make the ‘‘worst’’ character of the game work.

What are you on about? Ana has enough damage to kill a 200 hp target really easy, and if it’s used wisely she can 1 shot someone. And don’t forget the sleep dart which is really powerful , can even stop enemy ults with it. She can heal her team mates from across the map or do damage to the enemy unlike other supports who need a closer range. Oh and she can make Zen’s ult usles with the bionade.

Her biggest weakness is her lack of self sustain and mobility. She can only heal herself with her nades, which just so happens to be one of the most useful abilities in the game. Her mobility is nonexistent, and unless you’re a god at hitting your sleep darts, you can’t reliably sleep enemies to escape.

New Ability: Sprint (LSHIFT)
Sprint works exactly like soldier’s.

Sleep Dart
-Now works like a secondary weapon. You can equip and unequip it whenever you like. However, once you use it, it is forced to go on cooldown, not being able to switch to it for the duration of the cooldown.

Passive: Regeneration
Regenerates a small amount of health per second over time when not damaged for 1 second.

Comments:
Due to her lack of escape options, I feel like giving her a sprint ability is a great idea. Sure, soldier may have the same thing, but does that REALLY matter if she’s being outclassed by most other main healers? Also, if her sprint ability is going to be bound to LSHIFT, then Sleep Dart has to work a different way. Lastly, for her regeneration, she shouldn’t have to be forced to use the most useful part of her kit that can give teammates massive heals just to stay alive for a bit longer.

She doesn’t need more fixin, she is picked more than Moira, Brigitte and Lucio in some ranks.

She wouldn’t need any fancy new ability if she could penetrate barriers with all but the sleep dart. In fact, remove the silly grenade and have her fire a series of penetrating darts that incorporate the grenade buff/debuff similar to Hanzo’s Storm Arrows. All problems solved.

She has more mobility than Zen, can defend herself more than Zen, the Sleep dart idea is a nerf and she really dosen’t need much of a fix. She’s alright as she is in my eyes.

Ana is imo a solid pick, and probably one of the most high skill supports to boot.

Your proposals would certainly change that, and make her incredibly strong.
So she gets soldiers mobility, mercys self heal on top of the game winning bio nade and her ability to support from afar and sometimes indulge in the odd counter sniping ,all this atop her one real tricky ability which is the sleep dart but players who do master it become terrifying and landing good sleep darts gets ana players props from both their team and the enemy (which you seem to want to nerf).

Dunno, she seems to be in a great spot to me. Has a lot of great strengths, some weaknesses that get aggravated by the players suckiness (positioning+landing sleep darts) and isn’t outright worst then other healers despite your claim to the contrary (bio nade is such a game changer).

Dunno, I don’t play much Anna admittedly but I’ve never felt she was weak and I’m always really happy to see one on my team. Maybe I’ve just been overestimating her xD

So, I just took a quick look at Overbuff and her win rate is among the lowest of all supports, being the worst in every rank until diamond after which she stays as the second worst healer.

If we’re talking about heroes in general than she is 2nd from the bottom in bronze though gold, 3rd from the bottom in plat, 4th from the bottom in diamond, 8th in master and 6th in gm

If this doesn’t convince people that Ana is currently trash than I don’t know what will

She is hard to play, thats all there is to it.

she needs some small self sustain outside of using grenade, then it’s fine

perhaps 20 hp self heal per shot landed
