As an Ana main, a lot of the time we will nano you to save your life! We don’t expect you to get a huge play all the time. There have been plenty of times where I have nano’d someone who’s getting gang banged by the entire enemy team just so they can escape. A good Ana will build nano every minute or two, so we don’t worry about wasting nano. If the teammate survives an intense situation, it’s not wasted. If a teammate gets a huge play and survives that’s even better. The only time a nano is wasted is if the teammate we nano, who has the capacity to get a good ult off, just sits there with their fingers up their nose or if we die just as we shoot nano. Sometimes I just nano mercy’s for fun (rarely in comp, mostly in qp) and they never hesitate to whip out the gun. It doesn’t matter if they don’t get a kill, but the fact they’re actively using nano is enough for me to be happy. If you’re getting nano’d, take it as a compliment. That Ana trusts you and thinks you have the capability to pop off :p

[@kibi_112]

It's good for trading cooldowns in general which can open up more opportunities in a fight. For example if you get slept and anti'd, your Kiri uses suzu/bap uses lamp, Moira uses a lot of her resources, now there's a moment to capitalize

Good overall play but positioning like that will get you melted in higher ranks. The Ana never being pressured in this game made this look like a super chill training range session - ngl I'm jealous that is super rare even in QP. Honestly the fact the enemy DPS did not go for Ana one bit is hard for me to agree this was a DPS diff. Not enough multi-tasking with DPS and healing and when they did try the target priority was a bit sus. The cool down usage also felt rushed with the biggest outlier being that nano at the end. I'd say both teams were about even and it came down to "small plays" having a bigger impact than they might first appear.

No I don't have Aim Assist for most characters, other than Moira (Moira has a longer tether with AA on to match the PC, but it gets dragged a good bit from it) The console AA on overwatch is strong, but not to the point that it plays for you, just enough to throw off your aim if you have a clean pick lined up.

I know why they lost by just reading the description they posted. If you claim your mercy was heal botting, it means you weren't paying attention to the game the whole time and only looking at you mercy, how else would you know they'd never damage boost? something they should pay attention to is their sleep usage. yes, they hit a lot. but many aren't impactful, all they do is start the cd on sleep dart. there were a few occasions where a random sleep actually caused them to lose space, because they weren't able to punish the enemy winston since they sleep was on cd as they had just wasted it. So praising them for their sleep dart accuracy is good, but it's important to point out that they are wasting a lot of those sleeps at the same time.

One of them hit 1 Winston full hp, and the other clipped sigma because he smacked a Winston bubble. That’s not good Ana gameplay and being a master you should understand this.
