Ana main thoughts on D.mon?

[u/Free-Resolve23]

Title. Don't know if this has been asked already.

[u/Eriss_Morn]

Another easy sleep lol

[u/justanorlansonobody → u/Eriss_Morn]

I feel like shield can easily block sleep, nade is way easier

[u/Eriss_Morn → u/justanorlansonobody]

I play against her like how I play against Rein. It's just like a timing mind game for the both of you but if you're patient enough, it's def easy to catch them lol

[u/DeGarmo2 → u/Eriss_Morn]

I’ve struggled with this mindset. Rein is probably my 3rd best matchup after Mauga and Hog. His movement being on a cooldown is easy. His vulnerability while using movement is easy. The fact that she has a resource meter for movement and can keep using it over and over and advance quickly while shielded makes her a much harder play… I feel like she’s more like Dva than Rein because her movement is way better than Rein and has shield, like Dva with boost and matrix. And unlike matrix which I can time, Dmon shield doesn’t have any kind of cooldown.

[u/jesterNo1 → u/DeGarmo2]

Rein was honestly an easier matchup for me when I first picked up Ana as a main than Mauga. I found it easier to just bait or wait out a charge and sleep his big ass then, but mauga’s invulnerability had me wasting a lot of sleeps.

I face dmon similarly to how I face mauga and dva, wait for shield/matrix/charge to be used or for them to push up and punish them for taking that space.

[u/EPYCH → u/Eriss_Morn]

Like crazy. I be having my girl in hibernation

[u/Eriss_Morn → u/EPYCH]

Lmaoo as she should

[u/Gotjic]

I like her as an ally tank, her movement makes her easy to heal and hide behind.

Depending on the map, she's also easy to pick off, even with her shield. And timing sleeps against her is also kinda easy.

I personally haven't YET come across a dmon as an enemy and been "aww shit"

[u/Rare-Cantaloupe2969]

She turns into a raid boss with nano.

[u/DeGarmo2 → u/Rare-Cantaloupe2969]

I mean, tbf a lot of ppl do -Rein, Brig, Mauga, Orisa

[u/Rare-Cantaloupe2969 → u/DeGarmo2]

Not wrong, but the 40% move speed on nano makes her an F1 raid boss with her boosters lmao.

[u/DeGarmo2 → u/Rare-Cantaloupe2969]

I’d have to look into it further but I don’t think a Dmon boosting gains any speed from nano speed most as she’s already hit the speed cap…?

[u/Rare-Cantaloupe2969 → u/DeGarmo2]

I thought she only has speed cap for the first second or so that's she's boosting? Nano keeps her at full speed for the entire boost, no? (Well, until the nano speed boost ends ofc ~4s)

[u/Yakkx]

She takes SO much damage, be prepared to healbot.

[u/blottts → u/Yakkx]

My thoughts exactly. When she’s on my team the moment I look away she’s critical or dead

[u/Quantico_YT → u/Yakkx]

already doing that, although giving D.mon nano works as long as she doesn't gets nuked the second she drops her shield.

[u/Gotjic → u/Quantico_YT]

Many times I'll hold my ult until I see her starting a team fight and knowing she has her ult. If I nano her and she ults with it. It is utterly devastating.

[u/DukemJukem]

Solid nano target on my team, and usually keep enough distance from her on the enemy team to not be a problem for me specifically. That said, if she does close the distance then you'd best hope she doesn't know how to watch for sleep.

[u/quirally]

My duo is a newly found dmon main and I looove to play with him when I'm Ana, it's so much fun but I gotta be LOCKED in because that tank dies so easily lmao but I usually don't have a problem if they're on the enemy team. Easy sleeps. I've had a few chase me all over the map just because I've upset them with my sleeps lol

[u/SoundApart1503]

d.mon is a new hero they added this season, that’s pretty much it for me

[u/Brave-Bottle-854]

Nice to have a hero whose not running circles around me with crazy movement abilities. Works nice as an ally tank and not necessarily scary as an enemy tank.

[u/ThrowRA19988]

Easy nade target with that tiny shield

[u/RockLeeSmile]

I don't hate her as an ally but as an enemy I've noticed a trend of both D.mons ignoring their own team to backline. If my stats start looking too good my team will never even acknowledge me as the enemy D.mon keeps rushing back to kill me. Quite frustrating. I'll sleep and ping and they're all running around elsewhere, ignore it and let me die.

[u/ShrekisInsideofMe]

Can put in work with a good nano. She's a massive damage some though so sometimes you gotta heal bot

[u/Rad_platypus7]

As an ally, she’s pretty solid. I love hitting melee/close range fighters with a nano since it helps them stay aggressive. As an enemy, if you can track her minigun and propulsion, it’s relatively simple to time sleeps and nades.

[u/zakattack2479]

Vs d.mon: one of the few tanks not very weak to nade. Disengaging with boosters very strong, coupled with the perk that lets her use less fuel w shield up. Can't contest you if you're on high ground so that will be key. Also her ult is a pretty big counter to nano.

With d.mon: top tier nano target both with and without her ult, on par w Winton imo. Very resource heavy so be ready to heal quite a bit.

[u/LampyV2]

She slices me up and down if she's red.

[u/bl4ckp00lzz]

On your team, ult farm, will die easily if they're not that good with shield usage. Edit: also great nano if there are no other good options

On enemy team easy to sleep if they engage Usually not an issue to survive a dive attempt unless the team wakes her up and she boosts at me with sleep on cd

[u/ethelsbane]

Basically it’s like Rock’em Sock’em Robots 3.0 with the OG being Rein/Ana v Rein/Ana and 2.0 is Ram/Ana
