…Ana's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Disruption via Sleep
and NadeAna is extremely strong against heroes that have no barrier or cleanse effects, such as Hazard, Doomfist, and Roadhog, and can easily gain an advantage simply by landing Sleep
or Nade.High healing output from primary fire heals
Ana's healing output is 94 HPS, which is quite high even among Supports. Her range is also long, and as long as she is not under pressure, she can consistently provide stable, high healing.
How to Counter
Exploit her lack of mobility
Ana has quite low mobility even among Supports, so by focusing her down she is easier to kill than other Supports. If the enemy Ana is allowed to survive, she functions as a huge healing resource, so you need to apply pressure early.
Use heroes that can nullify Sleep
or NadeAna's Sleep
and Nade are easily nullified or cleansed by barrier heroes or abilities like DM and Fade
, and the chances of landing them become fewer. Especially against barrier heroes, Ana can hardly apply any ability pressure while the barrier is up, making it easy to gain an indirect advantage.
