Hey guys, I'm a diamond Ana main with about 300 hours on Ana on PS4. In the past, Jeff Kaplan said that in terms of hero winrates, the only hero he was concerned about was for Ana on console specifically. He said he wanted to look at the aim assist Ana gets on friendly targets.
Well, I had an epiphany, and I think I know what she needs. Ana needs the option to disable friendly aim assist while unscoped.
In my almost 300 hours on Ana, one thing I've noticed that ALWAYS messes me up is when I'm trying to precisely aim a sleep dart, only to have the friendly aim assist from teammates drag my aim away from my target. It feels quite annoying, especially when I'm trying to land it during a key moment to shut down an enemy ultimate like death blossom, high noon, or rocket barrage. Medium/long range sleep darts always get messed up by friendly aim assist.
An easy solution for this is to have the ability to disable friendly aim assist while unscoped. Generally speaking, you won't need aim assist while shooting unscoped shots, because usually that's when you're up close to your team. Aim assist matters a lot more while you're scoped in doing hitscan shots from a distance, and need to be extra precise. Then your aim won't be thrown off when trying to aim sleep darts.
What do you guys think? I realize this only applies to console players, so this post may not gain as much attention. But I'd like to hear your thoughts in the comments. I think it would be a big help for console Ana players. Maybe we can get Blizzard to implement this option!
