Her shield is small, weak, doesn't prevent splash damage so even a Zarya should be able to hit her, is easily zoned and the closest to a range attack she has knocks the victim back.

Trust me, she's in a good place right now, you just have to play smart and only 1v1 her if you have to or while you have her zoned.

I'm just concerned about how her flail will affect Winston since he loses all momentum and plummets straight down while jumping.

Yea.

It feels awful soloing her one v one unless I am Pharah.

When I played Soldier against her she recovered by all the damage that I did to her just by hitting me meanwhile hiding behind that 600 HP shield.

Yeah. And she interrupts Reaper, Roadhog, and other ults with that bash. Shes a great Tracer counter (which is why I love her so much lol), and she really excels on payload naps or any points in a match where theres some overtime chaos going on.

She's got good genes. Half turret on her mom's side, half armor pack from her father.

If a roadhog point blank ults on her instead of ripping her shield at a range then that's on the player. Reaper has an excuse, it's literally how his ult works.

She's alright

She aint no Sombra mi amor

I dont use the rocket flail much unless all the targets are far away. After a bash I like to melee the shit out of whatever targets are nearby while strafing. Ill bash again whenever it recharges.

I like playing as her but she has solid counters
I just like no-selling all the Tracers

Shield bash>primary fire>rocket flail cool down. It's her golden combo for finishing off enemies or at least knocking them back enough that you can get your shield back up before they can move again.

That Rocket Flail though is a pretty good peeling tool. It is like having a version of Lucio's right click but with a longer cooldown and goes further.

I just don't like all of the DPS Brig players that are running around. Yesterday I got accused of "not healing" when it was just me and the Brig player as support and the Brig player was running around being a DPS and always out of my line of sight.

I dont know how I feel about her being solo support. I still dont fully grasp her healing potential.

She isn't OP, but people who think her Shield Bash is currently balanced are people who either love and abuse that braindead burst combo or people who don't know anything about the game. It's one of the lowest risk, but highest reward Stuns in the game currently, at a 5 second cooldown with a 1 second stun. It should be at least 8 seconds to be brought in line with the others.

If the game were a series of 1v1's, you'd more easily be able to say she's ever at risk going for a Shield Bash, but she's not, unless she's an idiot or her Tanks are non-existent.

I just love how much she hard counters Genji's bitch ass.

Like someone else said, being bashed out of ults is triggering AF, especially when the hitbox for bash is monstrous and the shield itself makes it incredibly easy to approach. Flash is dangerous and hook/dart have to be aimed.

Her biggest downside is she's pretty worthless solo healing.

I do love that she hard counters Genji, although idk how people complain about shield bash and then say deflect isn't also massive BS.

Simple, Deflect isn't a 1 second Stun on a 5 second cooldown with an extremely forgiving hitbox fpr what it does (Even with it having been recently toned down) on a character with a 600 HP Shield and a healing passive to fall back on while generally being used right next to an Ally Tank who can prevent you from getting your shield shredded while you hold S back to safety. Bonus points for Deflect only having as much power as the person shooting into it allows it to, and Genji has to aim it at your head for maximum damage anyway.

Though, it is pretty stupid that Deflecting Sentry Bastion bullets can be critical when they aren't for Bastion, but nobody uses Bastion anyway, and anyone who does use Bastion knows not to shoot at a Genji that has Deflect up (Which you can know by having not heard a crazy loud SHING sound from a mile away).

Anyway, in scrims I've done she's been mostly only used on KotH maps (Nepal/Control Tower/Illios aside from Ruins, not Oasis because Pharahmercy paradise and Dive is infinitely better there) due to her brawling nature as an offtank. Seen her ran with Rein/DVa/Moira/Lucio/DPS or another Tank.

i love ana. blizz is waiting for meta shift to happen with brig to bring ana back into more use. OWL doesn't seem to care however. zen is played like a 3rd DPS with the best ult in the game and mercy can still get some great rez's off nullifying some of the pick power from widowmakers.

She was created specifically to deal with Genji and Tracer. I doubt much is going to be changed with her. They want to curb out dive META.

Ana isn't underpowered, she just really requires communication. The biggest drawback is when a dive character sees her use a nade, she's unable to heal herself at all.

Maybe make it so she gets passive healing as her nano boosted character inflicts damage? Would make it so you can't just target her then once nano falls off, kill the tank or dps that lacks support.
