God-fucking-dammit, Ana.
Remove Ana from the game. I think that should fix most of the problems right there.

She never should have been added to begin with, but you know what they say about hindsight...
You mean to tell me... a hero who can block healing (the only one with this ability in the entire game), who has the strongest healing of all the supports, who can heal insantly at any range (unlike Mercy), who is the only healer with 300 effective hp (taking grenade into account), whose grenade itself does more damage than a Genji dash, whose weapon does more damage per shot than Zen WITH discord (headshots excluded), who has the ability to shut down certain ultimates from any range (unlike Sombra; that's right, sleep-dart is a better 'hack' than Sombra's actual hack), and whose ultimate is and always will break the game, ...you mean to tell me that this hero is OP?

Nah man, totes not OP at all! You must be mistaken.
Remember when the nano boost could make someone go faster?
Remember when she was the only 200hp hero that could not be killed with Roadhogs hook and shoot combo (Roadhog main btw) removing a key way to kill her.
Remember when her grenade could heal 100 health plus 100 percent healing where the most other boast from other characters were in the 30's at best.

and despite fixing all of that she almost 100% better than zen or mercy in most cases. She is the kael'thas of overwatch.

And it would be SOO easy to fix her.

Take her healing grenade and remove the healing, therefore making her a dedicated counter-healer.

Change her ultimate and make it so that it causes her to be able to rapid-fire with unlimited ammo for a certain duration. This ultimate would allow her to output a lot of burst healing if you can aim, while also giving her a defensive option if facing off against multiple opponents, and most importantly it actually feels rewarding for the player to use, unlike her current ultimate which is only rewarding for the recipient.

But NO, Blizzard has a vision for her and they're sticking to that vision even if it's been ruining the game since her inclusion.
I agree with you on the grenade but I really don't think the ult needs changing, it's that fucking grenade that makes her over powered.
Her ult is the reason a bunch of other characters needed nerfs so yes it's a problem (her ult also stacks with Orisa's ult and Zenyatta's discord for absolutely LUDICROUS damage, so expect more nerfs).

Furthermore her ult is boring for person using it. When an Ana ults she doesn't do anything afterward, it doesn't feel rewarding to the Ana player to use Ana's ult. All of the benefits go to the recipient of the nano-boost, which is an inherent flaw of the ult itself. It's not actually fun for the player playing that character.

Props to blizzard for not putting boobs on her cause she's a lady
And boos to Blizzard for making Africa a prosperous country. A certain imageboard spent more time ranting about how the Africans and ME maps has prosperous aesthetic instead of a wartorn hellscape.

Edit, Found the Tweet. Anime Girl Avatar rants and raves about the oasis map.

On the contrary, I quite enjoyed watching my rein mow down most of the other team. (the lil pop-up saying I'd earned enabler may have helped).

and those people have opinions worth absolutely nothing. I really don't have time for racists.
Agreed. I may not be a fan of Overwatch, but I am glad they have a colorful cast of characters, and a positive depiction of an African setting. Not every part of Africa is a dirt poor wasteland. Too many people relying on TV and Hollywood for depictions instead of looking for themselves.
