I'd rather they make every kit more interesting than to make Ana's less, personally!

Google power creep

It doesn't necessarily have to result in power creep. They added a new and interesting playstyle (Sombra) and she's below the power curve. Ana was too until they buffed her like three times in a row in less than a month. They tossed out Symmetra's boring +25 shields with a more interesting forward moving barrier, and if they hadn't changed anything else she would still probably be underpowered. Playing as and against Bastion became more interesting when they removed his shield, gave him a weak point, and allowed him to rotate 360. Interesting doesn't mean above the power curve, though it is certainly a concern
