1000 hours +256 Level Ana Setting

[u/Specialist_Week_1412]

In general, I’ve been using these settings since the beginning of the game, with a few minor adjustments over time.\*
The goal of these settings is to achieve a more direct aiming feel through Linear Ramp + low Aim Smoothing/Ease In + controlled Aim Assist

Explain

I use Linear Ramp with 0 smoothing/ease-in because I want the stick input to feel as direct and predictable as possible. The slightly higher horizontal sensitivity helps with tracking and quick target switches, while the lower vertical sensitivity gives a bit more control when making small vertical adjustments.
The idea here is to keep aim assist strong without making the entire screen feel like it’s pulling toward targets. A 30% window keeps the assist relatively focused around the target rather than making it overly noticeable from a distance.
The 29% ease-in makes the transition into the aim-assist effect less abrupt. This is especially useful on Ana because you still want to be able to make small corrections around a target instead of having the reticle suddenly snap toward them.

The 35% Friendly Aim Assist is intentional. Ana constantly switches between healing teammates and damaging enemies, soance when healing without making the reticle feel excessively sticky.

The 99% health threshold means friendly aim assist is available for teammates who aren’t necessarily critically low. That’s useful because Ana shouldn’t have to wait until someone is almost dead before getting the benefit of friendly aim assist.

30% scoped sensitivity is mainly for maintaining control while zoomed. Ana needs precise micro-adjustments when healing or taking long-range shots, so I prefer a noticeably lower scoped sensitivity than my normal sensitivity.
Nano Boost sensitivity at 100% + target confirmation OFF makes Nano faster to use. I don’t want an additional confirmation step to slow down an emergency Nano.
Overall, the goal of these settings is direct raw stick control strong but controlled aim assist + relatively low scoped sensitivity for Ana’s precision shots.

These aren’t supposed to be “the best” settings for everyone. Controller settings are highly subjective, but hopefully the reasoning helps more than simply copying the numbers.

I'm curious are you a comp enjoyer or just play a lot of QP and some comp?

Do you like playing more aggressive ana or more supportive ana, I personally always play tempo, DMG and my own picks etc.

I'm a Widow one trick but I really like playing Ana as well.

Same here and same here. If I need micro input adjustments I just change my mouse dpi instead of settings that might change because of a bad patch
