ana's my new fave. drat shes awesome now

lucio still needs 150 hp imo. hes just way too hard to kill, the rapid health regen effectively makes him a tank that's also a tiny target bouncing around everywhere

A good Lucio player drives me loving insane no matter the character I'm playing

I just played my first match as Ana and she's badass. It's like playing Mercy but you get to do something besides heal

I think they got the wrong idea about making her better at healing, frankly. The reason people don't heal a lot as her is at least half because of how good at combat she is and it's easier to use her sleep as a better mccree flashbang and the heal grenade for saving yourself instead of the team while you play like a selfish sniper rear end in a top hat building the ultimant. Making her weapon better is just gonna make that worse probably. The other characters it's hard to play wrong in a way that's as detrimental as playing Ana wrong.

Cuz it's not like Lucio or Zenyatta where your ability to fight doesn't interfere with your ability to support, or Mercy where you have no way to stay alive in a fight unless you're keeping your team alive. But Ana it's often too good to save a 5 second flashbang at any range or a grenade that gives you all your own HP back and makes you a tank for 2 seconds when you could be using it on your team instead, IMO.

idk ana's healing just wasnt that great before. on tanks especially youd waste a lot of time fully healing them, and your damage was so low using your abilities to save yourself was a must.

also unlike the other medics that can just kind of show up and save the day, anas abilities as a medic depend on how easy teammates are to target. they need to be conscious of where you are and ofc they almost never are

lol even when theres a really good widow that can shut an area down, the team can just get a rein or a winston and shes useless. ana is a lot of fun though, and youre directly helping your team even if youre not that good at sniping

I remember getting owned a lot by hanzos when I first started playing but it got really easy to just deal with their poo poo. They probably have the most easy to avoid ult than pre-buff D.Va

One thing that playing Ana made me realize is how gay it is there's a jump button, even though there's never anything to jump on and half the poo poo you can get on forces you to slide off because Blizzard didn't want you there. Anyway it sucks because you can jump with no penalty, so everyone does it, so you miss heal darts a lot at range. And for some reason nobody ever picks Lucio or Mercy when you're Ana because they think you can somehow heal everyone yourself

Well I mean. I'm just upset that it's ridiculously easy to heal my Pharrah and Junkrat who are rocket boosting all over the place but meanwhile I can't heal the McCree because he's hammering the jump button and strafing even when nobody's around.

You are a hosed up piece of poo poo Larry. Durrr I hate jumping. This liberating feeling of weightlessness, however fleeting, that reminds me of dreams I had as a boy of sprouting wings and flying like all the birds in the sky granting me absolute freedom actually is gay poo poo for c.ucks and there's not really anything to jump on so I don't even see the point.

If you can't aim at jumping people just keep playing Ana until you get ranked in the 30s or whatever where no one even knows there's a jump button and they're all playing on Xbox controllers. Then it'll be smooth sailing my man. lmfao
