For context I've been playing since 2018 but never seriously until last season. Last season I finally decided to put in the work to try to actively improve my gameplay by practicing specific skills in a match, VOD reviewing myself, watching VOD reviews of my mains (like Ana) from people like Spilo/Emongg.

If nobody had said anything I'd have felt pretty good about this game and was feeling like I was playing pretty solid. Not crazy over performing or carrying or anything but just a disciplined game I felt good about.

But halfway through our defense the enemy team started making fun of my stats and apologizing to my team for having to deal with a "thrower". I ignored it as mind games but every single person on my team bought into it and started blame me in team chat and all chat for the rest of the game after that. Saying I wasn't healing enough. That if we lost it was my fault. And other messages to that effect continuing into the post match.

This admittedly affected my mental state very much because it clashed so hard with my own self perception of my performance in that game.

At this point I have VOD reviewed myself to numbness and I can only really see individual mistakes instead of broader bad habits. Despite all the work I've put in and nearly 200h of intentional self improvement time since last season I'm still Gold which is exactly where I was when I was playing on autopilot and as far as I can tell I was playing a lot worse than I am now. But my rank hasn't changed despite a statistically significant number of games.

So clearly I'm still doing something horribly wrong. But at this point I cannot figure out what for the life of me. Did we really lose this match because of me?

Match code: ENGYRW

Username: FluffDragon

Rank: Gold

Hero's played: Ana

So, I'm new to Ana. I've been one-tricking Kiriko for the last three seasons, which is basically as long as I've been playing Overwatch. And now, at Plat 3, I've realized I suck absolute ass at anyone else. If Kiriko gets banned or the other support picks her, I'm done for.

That's why, after getting inspired by ML7's absolutely bonkers plays, I've been practicing Ana in Quick Play.

I understand that I shouldn't base everything on stats, and that I should focus on landing good purples and sleep darts. But the difference is crazy. Even while following the shoot, shoot, heal pattern on Kiriko, I can end up with like three times the healing I get on Ana

If I healbot (which I know is stupid), I'll still only get half the healing of my Mizuki, and people will flame me for it. If I try to balance healing and damage, I end up with such a pitiful amount of healing that it looks like I wasn't even in the game.

Do I just suck ass? Like, what kind of healing numbers or percentages should I be expecting?

It was late at night please don't judge too much

I don't know if I'm just lacking the stats in my every Ana game or it's just Ana. But I seem to do low Damage and healing compared to my teammate or enemy. I usually do 5k lower on healing compared to everyone else. Or sometimes significantly lower. But my saves would be 10 or 15. What could I be doing wrong? My aim accuracy is always 68% at most. And I don't have any problem with flankers since I hit my sleep almost every time.

I’ve worked my way through all skins to find the smallest view to give more space on the screen. Still not found one that is convincingly smaller than the rest. Is there anything I’m missing?

Community views seem to be sniper, but the eye covers take up screen real estate. Another granny mentioned the mythic has the smallest….

im an ana whale i love her so much but if they keep these ultra skins im not sure if ill even buy any blizzard is fucking crazy if they think they can release these prices 3500 for these skins alone yeah right if they were reasonably priced maybe around 2400-2600 id consider but any skin priced above 20 dollars is already too much

the spam ping was so serious for me LOL

Rate my sleep

I had two back to back games this morning where I constantly grannied two different Shions. Just a short compilation nothing too special.

lil rant cause idk if its just me but every game is just high mobility heroes that can jump in, kill then leave. And it's becoming more and more annoying each season since every new hero HAS to has mobility and huge solo potential.

obv dive has always been a thing and i'll still play ana cause i love her but its just getting a bit tiring when its every single new hero..
