Junkrat trap is also strong since it removes movement and you can do up to 3 mines and some grenades for damage. very good in total mayhem against balls
What do you mean? I don't think they upload videos with magenta Tho magenta it's very good setting for distinguishing enemy outlines, it is the rarest color in any videogame so I recommend you use magenta and get used to it
Basically there will always be a red and blue team, even though your team only shows up in blue, when you go to watch a replay in your career profile, if you was defending first, your team will always be shown in red… hope this helps
My tip on how to shorten your reload time: After ana puts in a new magazine, use an ability (either sleep dart or bio nade). After that, youre rdy to shoot again. If you time this correctly, you should be able save up to 0.5s (approx.) This can mean a difference in every fight.
hitting quick melee shortly after reloading to speed up the reload is muscle memory now for me- I even binded Melee to one of my side mouse buttons just to make it easier
@@AirplaneBandit melee works for most characters it just can be dangerous because you have to watch the ammo, the second it if refilled then you can melee but if you're too early it will cancel the reload and you have to do it all over again
@@BONERCRUSHER yeah I get ya, but you don't mess if up often at all after so long. Plus I would 99% rather have to reload than waste a CD just to get an animation cancel (unless it was actually called at the time)
I feel she is a easy character to use if you are more healing then killing you can stay far bck an keep healing. Other's need to go in close to keep heals up an are a ezzz kill. Just my opinion
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 idk I just don't die much with her I stay far bck an keep the team up it seems to work for me. Other healers I keep getting killed following team mate then end up with enemies behind me all the time. Just to put it out there I am new an not the best at overwatch lmao 😂
I love everything about Ana. Not only does she have a great kit that is fun to play and dynamic enough to fit into pretty much every comp, she's also got great character design as well as a fantastic voice actor. even In such a diverse cast of characters that overwatch offers, Ana just sticks out to me. Great video, it's made me love Ana even more..!
A good thing to remember is that Ana Is a direct counter to roadhog, all of her abilities cancel his abilities. And having such a big hit box it's even easier. Another good thing to remember is that dps are going to do more damage than you, so I like the mindset of it downstairs matternif I have 6 kills at the end of a game as long as I helped others get theirs. Point being it doesn't matter who gets the kills as long as a good kill is made
I'm a psycho I change my colors frequently. It's set up so whatever my enemy color is I swap it to friendly (friendly used to be magenta, enemy blue, right now its friendly blue enemy green)
I dont know why but ana is one of those supports that i love. (Maybe its also because I love ML7 and he got me into an ana main) but Ana is one of those characters that can really have an impact and can defend herself. Her entire kit is all about making plays weather you sleep an Sigma ulting, or Anti nade Zarya ult. Every character combos really well with ana.
Great guide, but it gets a bit confusing since the replay team colors are switched. Is there any way you can make the enemies red like in a normal game rather than your allies?
I agree, but this is unfortunately an internal overwatch issue where certain teams in replays will always be a specific color regardless of attack/defence.
Haven't finished vid yet but scoped shots can be seen by the enemy and unshaped can't so if someone's tryna flank, heal unscopped so you don't give position away
For Ana I like using the nade in a team fight when everyone’s grouped up. I’ll try and splash at their feet to get purples and yellows. Good way to get your Nano faster too
I am new player to overwatch 2 with only about 10 hours in the original game but Ana is so much fun good to get all the tips and that grenade is fantastic for favourable trade on a tank in a big battle
I picked up Ana recently and I can't stop just soloing these roadhogs as a healer is so fun I just cant stop slumping these dps and hitting Dva in between the eyes with a grenade I am addicted to Ana
I like to play Ana as a mix between Mercy and Widowmaker, staying back enough to stay relatively out of the enemy line of fire but close enough to keep healing and picking off dps and enemy supports while also keeping yourself hard to flank from Sombras and Reapers.
Pretty sure i didn’t even hear you mention that when scoped in with Ana, your shot leaves a trail leading straight back to you. When uncapped, this doesn’t happen.
first time overwatch player, as a tf2 medic and sniper main, ana feels like a nice medic crossbow/sniper hybrid and it's great, wholly made me actually start enjoying the game
3 ultimates on one hero (2 of them having 12-ish seconds cooldown) is more than enough to climbe. Also, tip for intermediat players: sometimes, you can throw the nano out of the window. You can hit it on the other supp if they're on low hp or give it to a sigma if you think it would increase thier chances of survival. Nano is a pwerful ultimate, yes, but it not only gives 50% dps increase and damage reduction, it also gives 300 health which is enough to heal more than half of the riaster from 0 to max hp. It's more of a defense tool than an offense tool in most cases and it isn't such a gamechanger (which is why I encourage you to "waste" it sometimes) but can win you teamfights from time to time so be bold and use it without expecting a teamkill from your boosted teammate.
You are a support. Not a heal bot. Ana's rifle does 77 dmg per shot. That means if you land even just 1 bullet on an enemy you have taken down 38% of their health. Don't be afraid to shoot the enemy squishies. Killing a DPS before a team fight can be MUCH more useful than topping off your team's health bar.
Omg...zooming in with the rifle makes it hitscan??? I’m so stupid. I NEVER scoped because I thought it was pointless considering you can see more without it and I thought that the bullet fired the same way regardless. I s2g I’m about to become a better ana player literally by USING THE AIM BUTTON.
One missed thing I feel is communicating about the sleep darts. For example, sometimes I feel like it is preferable to just let a tank sleep, like with a raging Winston. Just call that your team should shoot him.
My problem w ana is that I always play near my team mates. Even though I have a harder time with my hip shots I'd rather do that than fucking flop every three seconds to Sombra or genji lmao
You can crank friendly aim assist up in the settings and hip fire healing will be much easier. Hitting enemies will be harder because you're being pulled around by teammates jump strafing lol
A few hip fire shots and a nade will kill alot of dps charecters i get quite a few solo kills in a game as ana go after theyre healers(your team 2 healers theyres 1 wininning senerio) dps player over extends to take you out use your nade and hip fire and kill or close to
Tip: be careful when giving nano to Dva or Winston if they have their ultimate. Given they sometimes don't expect it(nano) and try to survive by using their own; therefore not much value out of nano. Communicate and you'll be fine.
one of the best tips i got was your heal botting you need to do more damage or your looking for the next teammate to heal when you need to look for damage in between heals, made me go from plat 3 to masters 4 in about 3 weeks i still struggle with positioning but i feel this is the tip most gold/plat ana needs to hear
@@justarandomguy2078 her only good thing is her sleep dart shes good In double support set ups but on her own I think there is way better options she needs more damage tbh that’s why I think the sniper buff would help
@@sixeyes4202 double support is actually enforced unless you play quickplay, so your point is kinda invalid. And her grenade is one of the most impactful abilities in the game.
@@BullRed07 that’s cap I understand it’s enforced but even in comp two healers she really doesn’t have any impact in her matches every healer does her job better even moira
Seeing as I've carried games being the only healer, I don't get a lot of complaints. Last game I played I was 3rd in kills with 19 (and we had 3 dps characters [with only one doing better than me on kills]) and still had like 7,000 healing being the only healer. My advice would be: aim to kill, not do damage and they'll respect you a bit more (unless they're stingy kill hogs, then they'll complain). Use her offensively to finish off people and counter, spend the rest of the time making sure people stay alive (if everyone is healed though, go crazy ;). Healing priority should be: Support, DPS, then Tank (the only exception being, critical health. Doesn't matter who they are, heal them). Also, a little tip that has saved me countless times: in close quarters, save your grenade as a last line of defense. The enemy will out-dps you 9 times out of 10, so getting that 60 damage, blocked heals, and self-heal will save your arse
Today I just somehow wanna try using Ana and I kinda like to use her. There was one time my random teammates chat like "Love you Ana", I was like, eh, they like how I played Ana huh hahaha. I'll stick with Ana for now even tho using the sleep is kinda hard.
I'm trying to learn Ana after the recent S2 patch that buffed her healing/damage and Biotic Grenade. As someone who mostly plays Mercy or the occasional Brigette when I play support, Ana is DEFINITELY out of my comfort zone. But, I said I wanted to learn at least one aim-intensive hero in OW2, and Ana seemed like a good pick. Plus, I have a ton of unlocks for her. So, yeah. Thanks for the tips!
I went to nano boost solider but mercy got in the way and got a team kill but as we got near the end of the game all the enemy left and canceled the game. Bish could've been a mercy potg and they robbed us
Ana and Baptiste are the two hardest supports for me. Ana one is the hardest of all, because it requires high accuracy, it has become fast and aggressive, it is very difficult to survive with Ana in this game.
"Unreliable support partner" DUnno if it's the console, but on PS5, the DPS is WAY more inconsistent. As a support player I've way more faith in tanks and supports then DPS players (specifically on my team)
No, she doesn’t. Frankly she does enough damage anyway and is broken as it is, if she had headshots on top of the already nutty damage she would have been removed
I made that mistake just yesterday with my ult. Held it for so long that I definitely could have built up a 2nd one, maybe even 1/4 - 1/2 way to a 3rd. Such a dumb move. 🤦♂️
Well i dont really know what gonna be useful in this video talking about climb but all you say its only in high ranks, in low ones sleeping a winston or a rodhog during his ultimat is useless someone gonna wake him up instantly (even the Bob) 100% of time, try to get the highground dont really help people dont care in low ranks they are all split chasing people behind all walls to just die, using nano on tank to encourage him to push ? useless he gonna go back when you nano him and the time he understand the nano is done, even when a genji or reaper try to rush me behind when i sleep him i can say 10 times to kill him nobody care all this advice are obviously good but its just not the same game
Totalmente cierto, yo soy nuevo en el juego pero me informo sobre estas cosas para ser útil, juego support, y al intentar jugar con amigos (también nuevos pero no se informan) todo el tiempo me dejan sólo, los matan y salen disparados a morir de nuevo, duermo a alguien que me flanquea y nadie ayuda a matarlo así que eventualmente despierta y termina su trabajo, es insoportable...
I'm rather that kind of guy accidentely using my nanoboost after the fight is over or hitting my mercy with it because I always wanna use it immediately when it's up xc
Tip: Grenade teamates and insta scope into healing to heal big tanks quickly. So while the grenade is traveling youre already healing then once it hits you do the buff healing. Saves you seconds by landing shots before, during an after that nade for healing. Same goes for anti-ing an enemy. Be aggressive and try to hit those shots while you check a nade and after or pump your frontline with heals so they can capitalize on that. Im sure this is a basic tip but yea! Also- BODY BLOCK. Doorways, corners, etc- this makes the movement of the enemy minimal and you have better sleep dart hit potential. Also good for countering the ball meta thats going on rn with his health bug lol Shes an amazing denial character once you get comfortable with quick scopes and the travel times of your projectiles. Shes easily become my favorite since her release in OW1 and imo, the most important support you can have bc of the solo fight-altering potential with her. One grenade can make the whole fight, thats no lie. Anas easily can manipulate how games go once theyve mastered her! give it a shot its worth learning her!
I have started playing Ana because I am getting so sick and tired of NO ONE PLAYING SUPPORT LIKE, HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS, FIVE DPS PLAYERS ISN’T HELPFUL WHATSOEVER
