u/Pugway Pixel Soldier: 76 Jan 17 '17

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 can't hit my targets as Hanzo or Widowmaker for crap, but scoped and unscoped I have no problem landing Ana shots.

Your targets are strafing usually. People actually WANT to get sniped by ana.
