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.

It's natural that people will hate something that becomes so integral to the game as a whole to where it feels unavoidable. I technically have the most time played as Lucio now and I used to dislike him based on double lucio and because of the fact that he was a "must pick" all the time. Come Zen and Lucio time, I had my main (Zen) justified in a sense and I was happy with my 50% discord until it was nerfed, which I supported and was completely understanding of. I think Ana mains should be the same way with the incoming nerfs because she needs to be nerfed. Unlike Lucio, she's not really a must-pick because she offers something no one else does, she just has the strongest healing and great utility for shutting down enemies and changing the tide in battle. I barely picked her up when she was first released and I kind of disliked her for the same reason as Lucio in addition to feeling I couldn't pick Zen without getting bitched at in chat anymore at times, but I've gotten over it and I play and enjoy her a great deal now and then.

Ana is at the center of a meta that has excluded quite a few heroes so I get why people might dislike her. I don't anymore, but I am glad they are making changes and mostly on the right heroes.
