Overwatch’s Ana may have just been dropped into battle a week ago, but it seems that she hasn’t performed quite up to Blizzard‘s expectations. “In addition to helping her feel better to play, these changes should also increase her healing and damage output”, said the developer in the Battle.net forum.

-Rate of fire increased by 20%. However, recovery time is now 0.5 seconds, ensuring you get up that much faster when asleep. Rate of fire for Fan the Hammer has been increased by 15 percent with the recovery time of Flashbang decreased from 5 seconds to 3.5 seconds.
The patch also fixes Ana’s Sleep Dart. So before Overwatch launch in May, Tracer made her debut in the game. Interestingly enough, the YouTuber known as Youmuus has discovered an even more potent usage of Ana’s tranquilizer that can essentially put a player out of commission permanently for an entire match.
Because the sleep dart has a 12 second cooldown, it takes three players layering their darts into the victim to keep them asleep long enough for it to work, but if you pull it off the Overwatch server assumes your target has gone idle and punishes them appropriately. Speaking to the folks at Destructoid, Heroes of the Storm’s Lead Hero Designer Kent-Erik Hagman revealed that feedback to Tracer’s inclusion in the game has been largely positive, and that based on this, they are open to the idea of including more Overwatch characters in the game in the future.
