Hi, my name is Lopert and I am a rank 70 support player.

I hear a lot about how Ana is "bad" and get quite a bit of hate for picking her in competitive, so I figured I'd record some gameplay to showcase how she can be played effectively. I'm not arguing that Ana is better than Zenyatta / Lucio as the second healer, but she's definitely not as far behind as people make her out to be.

I pre-released this video to a few people, and one of them said:
"i donno i feel like zenyatta could have been just as good.  i saw several people die because you couldnt aoe heal them or just hand them an orb for a bit.  plus that opposing team was pretty disjointed.   but its fine, with a very good player playing her im sure shes fine.  but people who are terrible gravitate to her and fill up a healer slot with her terribleness"

I wasn't convinced that this was true, so I took it upon myself to analyze every single death that occurs on my team and compare it to what Zenyatta could have done in the same situation. You can grab that full analysis below, and let me know if you agree!:

I think reviewing your games like this is a great tool for improving, and breaking down each teammate's death gave me a ton of insight into what I can do to improve as a support player.

I chose to keep the video in the original format for this so you can hear the team's voice chat nice and clear.

Let me know in the comments if text analysis is cool (I suspect it is TL;DR), or if you'd prefer to have a voiceover with this info.
