Makes sense I guess. So invis/flank/hack/port/profit when Rein is controlling a choke.
Speaks volumes about blizzards succesful game design when adding just one new character can completely make the same few maps we have been playing feel new and fun. One of few reasons why I love this game despite all the raaaaaage it has caused me.

Believe it is 7 seconds (the cooldown also) against enemy players and 1 minute on health packs.

Healthpack hacks last for a minute I think, so she is great at denying easy heals to the enemy team and ensuring your team has more access to the packs.
Hacks on players only last about 5-6 seconds I think? She has to channel it for about a second or so and if she takes damage during the channel, the hack is interrupted. She needs LOS to hack, so she can't hack through a barrier. Hack also has a CD longer than the duration, so you can't just chain hack.

Sadly, you can't hack the hacks anyway, so not really. The healthpack hacking shit looks retarded, it lasts a minute, you can hack as many as you want(well technically there's a cd so ~5healthpacks max), hacking the packs is very powerful against the enemy and also renders some of the lower damage output heroes useless in a 1vs1(like winston or no charge zarya can't kill you if you're standing on a hacked healthpack, they simply don't have the damage, that's pretty dumb design imo) and there is no way to counter it short of killing Somba before she hacks stuff cause it persists through death and you can't hack a hacked healthpack back.
I'm personally kinda fine with the rest of the kit but the healthpack stuff looks dumb as shit imo.
Oh and hack cd is 12secs btw, duration is like 5-6 on players I think? But you can interupt her before she hacks you if you notice her. Her teleport and stealth are on 6secs each, cd starts when she comes out of stealth/teleport. Teleport duration is 15secs.

Interesting stuff I saw on the reddits: If you noticed during world cup games that Mei's ultimate froze people instantly, apparently they were running a 144 ticrate on the servers, and Mei's ult must be a x amount of freeze per tic that isn't multiplied by deltatime. A very unexpected bug from such a pc centric developer (console devs tend to make this mistake alot because they are used to locking to a fixed time step).

Ana seems to be the answer to getting out of the < 2000's. If you try to fill in the gaps to get a standard 2 2 2, you'll probably 8 times out of 10 have to play a healer when that low. Mercy isn't all that useful because you are dependent on the team actually being able to kill things. Also about half the time you res someone they just stand there and die because as soon as they were killed they left to go get a drink or something.
The major weakness of Ana is no movement special. You'll almost always die to Dva, Mei, Junk ults.
I tried more late night action after hitting my season high. It was horrible. Lots of drunks, trolls, people just ranting insanely that I had to mute. Dropped 200 in short order. Almost every game had instalock widows. Some had widow + hanzo, with people complaining in voice so bad I had to mute the complainers so I could hear the game.
I did some footstep sound testing on a custom map between games (to try to avoid getting the same terrible team). More than likely what happened to me was music drowning it out. I turned it down to 50% (thought I had already done that) and it helped alot with hearing sneaky flankers.
