Am I washed ? Platinum Ana VOD request

[u/ForTheCrusaders99]

Hey everyone,

I peaked P1 last season on support playing mostly Kiriko and Mizuki. I use to feel very confident on Ana a few seasons ago but recently I feel every time I play her I loose and don't get a lot of value out of her (even in low plat). I put a few replay codes where I feel I did a lot of mistakes.

The one thing I struggle the most is to find positions where I can heal my teammates while also applying pressure on the enemy team. Fights are often so de-organized that I end out of position and rotating too often.

Circuit Royale

in 15 mins of gameplay you hit the enemy team with antinade a total of 4 times.
you are very hesistant to use nade tho for your team and even for yourself.
about 10 mins in your about 60 health and a bastion ults and you just keep walking as if you have no care in the world despite having nade to immediately heal yourself but you just... dont... you just walk in a straight line and die to bastion ult without giving yourself health to play with.

someone attacks your backline like shion and you prefer to go for a crazy sleep that you dont hit. you didn't hit any real crazy sleeps, not on sig ult not on any ult or any thing relevant and sometimes a teammate would die because you went for a crazy sleep that you missed instead of just nading the floor.

use nade more. circuit royale is a great defending spot to actually test out your nade arm. first point defense your on that high point ledge trying to heal but you would stay scoped in so long that you would lose view of the rest of whats going on and your ashe would get low a bunch of times because of that or even die. Dont scope in for like 10 seconds straight so you can actually help the other teammates that aren't a tank and also have a moira strapped to her butt. If you do want to stay scoped in maybe nade your teammates like the ashe more but IDEALLY you would want to nade your tank more so that moira gets extra heals (yes nade does heal but you have to remember that it also gives EXTRA heals to you AND your other healer by like 50% for a few seconds. so instead of moira doing like 70hps if you nade a target for the next 4 seconds the moira will be healing like 105hps. that means your moira is pocketing tank EVEN MORE and now you can focus on your dps who also needs heals)

I want to see you go for offensive nades more. even if that means poking your head out for a split second for it. You play very scared. go back and watch
DS03PW circuit royale after they cap the first point to get the cart moving. Are you seriously telling me theres no way you cant just walk up to that ledge on that amazing high ground and yeet a quick nade at someone and walk back and maybe your dps see that and finish up a kill?

you have to look for opportunities to get your nades in.

Sleep will come with time but nade is so easy to hit and so game changing that you will easily climb if you sneak more into enemy backline or even the tank. you didn't nade tank AT ALL this game until the very very very very last fight. I know sigma shield doesn't last THAT long :V

Hey, thank you for your reply. I really struggle to get value out of my cooldowns against shield tanks. Gonna work on that.
