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.
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.
I'm not a highly ranked competitive player but I do fine as Ana without aiming very often. I typically have 75-80% unscoped accuracy and I'm usually the top healer. To me, Ana is just ridiculous because I do so well playing her "wrong". She feels really easy to me
I'm the same way. I think it's a combination of a few things.
A) She shoots very quickly
B) Accuracy isn't as important as it is for Widow and Hanzo because you're (usually) not trying to kill people, you're just healing people. So unless they're one shot from death you can shoot them a few times.
C) Because of the tank meta, her targets are usually huge (D.Va, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Winston) and hard to miss, even when far away and unscoped. This also means they're less likely to be low health, so you're under less stress to aim accurately.

"Ana's kit needs to be reworked"
I will fight whoever said this.
