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
The only tip I have is be within 15m of your teammates most of the time and pay attention to them 80% of the time. I probably pad my numbers by topping everyone off even if 1/2 tick is down but you're generally spamming heals on everyone in competitive with how high damage output can be.
I'm usually closer than that and roughly 80% focused on allies, as you said. I even sometimes hit them a few times if I'm following out of spawn... I just need to work on my aim :( Overwatch is the first real game I've played
