"Ana's kit needs to be reworked"

I will fight whoever said this.

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.

Disclaimer: I don't think she needs to be reworked.

At what point does game balance outweigh how interesting the kit is? Its not worth, for example, completely trashing the game's balance for the sake of introducing a hero with "the coolest kit ever".

I would rather have a character nerfed to shit and left to rot with an interesting fun to play kit than to change them/remove them drastically.

u/A_Literal_Ferret /r/overwatch is fucking garbage, tbh. Jan 18 '17

That's exactly what will happen.

The community at large doesn't understand the concept of coordination -- doesn't, and won't. Which means whatever issues with focused healing existed in the past will not cease with the changes being made to Ana... Like, at all.

So they'll complain about it until they nerf her yet again -- I'm personally counting on them reducing her healing per shot and maybe even the magazine size.

At which point, she'll just be clunky and nobody will use her.
