We don’t get too much grandmas in video games in general, so I’m thankful on this one. She’s just low because I lack experience myself, but I like Ana.
Good thing that she doesn’t exactly need her scope to actually heal your friends. She doesn’t utilize headshots after all.
And of course, her ultimate comes to play greatly when you have a great offensive character that can wreck with high accuracy, or even tanks. This is why the meta favors her. She’s flexible enough to fulfill both spots as support or a bit of attacking.
As the story goes, Ana actually had a pretty good one, I guess it kind of makes up my lack of experience with her. As one of the founding members of the Overwatch, she’s known as one of the greatest snipers in the age, but she also struggles about being a good mother to Fareeha (Pharah) as well as her conscience weighing on her when it became apparent that her job was requiring her to kill people regardless. Which costed her big when Widowmaker shot her in the eye, that the combination of this made her feel like she’s better off reported dead.
It’s a very powerful creed, that while justice and freedom are good things, what matters the most is that you have something to believe in, and you fight for it. While Ana might be the lowest ranked support here, as a character she’s great and I can definitely see her clawing her ranks up to higher and higher. So yeah, sue me for not using her too much, I must be some sort of noob who only picks Offense and rarely support/healers.
