I haven't had that happen but I do frequently get yelled at for not being a heal slave on Ana. IMO her nade is almost always best used offensively and many times the most appropriate use of her primary fire is to actively kill targets instead of healing your own. Thats why I really enjoy playing her because her playstyle is so dynamic and requires quick decision making.

Agree on that - the heal prevention on the nade is extremely valuable in focusing down high priority targets.

I've found at super MMR that if you lock Ana out of the gate, you end up being the only healer about a third of the time.

Ana's nade used offensively is amazing, especially if you have a zenyatta as well. Guys like Roadhog instantly melt.

Quitting a game the 2-3 seconds after it ends only to have it count as a leave is fucking retarded.

If you leave within 2-3 seconds of a team winning the round isnt technically over so you get leaver.

It gives you a message letting you know you will be a leaver and you have to accept it. I agree though I'd like to leave right away

I haven't won a single match since placing at 2100 or 2200. Dropped to 1800 and still going. At this level you get a lot of the 'give ups'

Yeah I think Ana is a pretty good healer, when I'm lucio and I get gold healing I wonder what our Ana is doing and tempts me to swap to Mercy but the lucio ultimate is so good for defense against ults.. but yeah its noticable when an Ana is healing her ass off, and the nade saves us a lot especially when we're grouped up in a little room pushing. Sure it's also nice when you push and the other team cant heal their reinhardt cause you doused them (hate that when i'm the healer on that team lol).

I was up to 2360 this week but down to 2100, cant catch a break. My s2 team plays 20 hours a week and I didnt opt for that so I'm solo lol

I play a lot of Ana and I wonder what Lucio is doing if I'm beating him in healing. That passive always on heal equals big numbers over the course of a match.

Ana really excels at burst healing when needed and taking out high value targets. There should be a card for Mercy kills because I'm the bane of that skank.

Yea.. A lucio should always be gold healing. The AoE is similar to a Junkrat always having gold damage. If you're not gold in those categories for these 2 heroes then you need to swap heroes.

The whole gold silver bronze thing is highly overrated. I've had great games before on champs like McCree where my damage numbers were not impressive but I felt like I carried hard.

I get the same feeling with Ana a lot. Mediocre damage/heals/elims but I'm all over the place killing key targets, sleeping people during big team fights, good ults, 75% scoped/unscoped and most importantly we win.

I agree with this but merely stating since Lucio/Junkrat are AOE heroes, they should always be gold, otherwise you're either dead a lot or AFK at spawn. And if you're dead a lot then perhaps it's best to swap.

The thing with Lucio is he can pair very well with Ana, the grenade doubling heals can make Lucio's AoE shine.

That aside something I have gotten more and more used to is that while gold damage is great if you aren't getting kills off it you are just feeding their healers ults. Sometimes spamming with junkrat just allows one team to get nano boost fast enough to go rape city on your team vs a good McRee who is landing kills but not wounding enemies over and over.

I don't technically agree here. Lucio is used in the meta 100% because of his speed boost which is generally much more valuable than his heal. Ana, however, can often times get mega healing numbers by tossing a nade on Hog/Rein and just LMB and gain a cool 1k healing.

The MSI tournament in London is on. It has been a huge marketing disaster so far. No idea what is really going on but all sorts of rumors about setting up the stage with gaming laptops, now they are saying they are having internet problems.

NIP played one round vs Rise Nation, and were having lots of lag and freezeups so they are supposed to redo the match if they can ever get it going. It's been a couple hours since the first match.

I've found DotA has gotten much much better, but in the earlier days it was always a shitshow with games being postponed for hour+ consistently.

I see this on McCree sometimes too. You're responsible for like 65% of the team's killing blows and you've completely kept their enemy Pharah in check, but some dickface D'Va is complaining that she's gold damage and gold elims because she's spraying easily healed shit DPS into every toon on the map while having an additional life ontop of insane HP, armor, and escape jets. I've decided to just stick to Pharah or Reaper on most maps, it's almost always double/triple gold and don't have to worry about whiners.

You should have the healing on by default and use speed strategically. So you'll still be healing most of the time.
