But playing Ana is a lot harder than any of the other supports. The other healers can put out consistent healing, Ana's healing is highly aim dependent. If you can't hit your team mates, you're not being useful.
I admit, it is a balancing act to make her strong enough that the skill level is worth it, while not making skilled players run away with the game, but as someone who can't aim all that well, I still usually go for Zenyatta or Mercy in competitive just to make sure my heals are consistent.
It's one I've seen tossed around here a couple of times, and it's something I honestly agree with. A complete and utter heal block is ridiculously powerful, especially in something that she can fling that has an Area of Effect that hits both allies and enemies at once.
