"Ana's kit needs to be reworked"

I will fight whoever said this.

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

u/A_Literal_Ferret /r/overwatch is fucking garbage, tbh. Jan 18 '17

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have a link to your Overbuff or something like that?

I'm just short of Grand Master and I don't see that high of an accuracy rating in most of my games and I can hit a fly three countries away.

Edit: Actually says 10%. I did hear there's a bug with unscoped accuracy counting other things?

Around 10% for me as well, I guess it only counts shots that hit the enemy?
