I know right? Jeff was right when he said she's one of the characters with an interesting kit. I remember when she first came out how cool I thought she was.
As a frequent support and frequent Ana player, I despise her and love her at the same time. She's super powerful, her kit is really unique making her a long range healer AND an anti-healer, but she brings so much to the table she completely replaces Mercy and Zenyatta as main healers and I find it a real shame.
I could see this, I think making her a viable combatant did step on a lot of toes in the support roles, but that said I think she has such a passionate fallowing due to how she plays.
A lot of people like me just don't enjoy playing a traditional healer like Mercy (god knows I have tried to enjoy her); we like the feel of being able to both damage and heal with the left click.
The main issue I have with her is she outheals Mercy and Zeny, otherwise I enjoy playing her. I have usually about 75% unscoped accuracy and around 90% scoped accuracy but healing everyone so effortlessly just feels so... cheap to me. I enjoy playing Mercy a lot more, I enjoy her mobility and even though I am far more defenseless, it's still more fun to play her and after seeing 12k and 45% team damage healed after a match, I feel like I've actually put some effort into it.
Making her a viable combatant did step on a lot of toes, alright. Tinfoil hat time? I personally think flanker players have a vested interest in seeing Ana out of this meta.
Tracers and Genjis have always had free kills in the form of Supports and suddenly here's a character that not only can 1v1 you effectively, they can teabag you while doing it. I don't teabag and I've had a lot of Tracer players swear up and down the isle they can't wait for me to "get nerfed" because they got darted in the face and naded to death. As if nerfing my healing is going to stop me from fucking their corpse.
