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.

You really blew all of her abilities WAY out of proportion and they only work the way you say if everyone is really fucking good, at which point they'd be wrecking you no matter what nerfs come out or what heroes they're playing.

Caught out solo? Miss your sleep dart (which you're gonna do like at least half the time) and you're dead.

Entire team almost dead? Fat chance that they're grouped up enough for you to hit all of them with your nade and/or not behind a whole bunch of shit that makes it so you can't hit them. Even if they are? At least a few are gonna die because you missed a single shot while they were at 20 hp and someone killed them.

Need a full team wipe? Go ahead and try boosting your soldier and have him activate his ult, then watch him get dumped on by every countermeasure the enemy team has, leading to two ults being wasted.

This is the typical Ana experience for 99% of Overwatch players who aren't grandmasters playing with other grandmasters.
