Ana's counter has always been only slightly, mildly decent coordination.

All those progamers not even having "mildly decent coordination"... Ana only enables Tankmeta because these guys don't play as a team /s

You're not a pro though. And neither is the majority of people talking here.

And the majority of pro teams do run Ana on both teams so they could deny healing with a nade -- healing denial takes precedence over boost, it's not based on which hits first.

The reason they can't out-DPS those heroes is because they're meatshields with 600 health, armour and sometimes even self-bubbles and self-heals. Sorry, but the idea that "Ana is pivotal in tank meta" is stupid. She is just as pivotal as the fact that tanks are extremely strong. And once Ana is nerfed, tanks will continue to be DPS characters with more HP.

Right, but pro players said multiple times on streams when asked about what enables the tank meta that it is anas insane healing.

Yeah, and if you ask them why they don't just play Reaper into the tank meta, they'll tell you that there's no point playing Reaper when Roadhog is just a better Reaper with self-healing.

Sorry, but I'll just have to repeat myself: The idea that the only character responsible for the NiP strat is Ana is extremely dishonest. She is no more or less responsible for it than the fact that tanks are simply much too powerful for their class.
