    Ana, Hero 22 and mother of Pharah, was the first new character added to the game in the months following the launch of Overwatch in 2016.
    With a plethora of DPS heroes and to a lesser degree Tanks, Blizzard knew that they needed another Support in the game.
    Originally an "Alchemist" themed character, several iterations later brought us the Ana we know today, a sharpshooting support healer with strong CC, a potent ally buff and the game's only source of anti-healing.
    In today's video, we cover the competitive history of Ana through the various metas that have come and gone over the years in order to gain a better appreciation for one of Overwatch's most unique and beloved heroes.

    I LOVE this idea of a series! God, everytime I'm blown away by the quality of your videos, even if they may take some time, they're ALWAYS worth the wait! I think Reinhardt/Winston might be cool, both haven't received a tremendous amount of changes relatively speaking, yet they've both defined so many metas.

    As for competitive history, any chance you would consider doing Lucio? It probably is kind of an odd one to look at, but there has been times, even briefly, where he wasn't picked 95%+. It would be nice to have an insight as to what brought him to be benched then :).

    Pretty sure it was Ninja's in Pajamas who created the triple tank triple support comp first, and then everyone copied them. Also, what led to the collapse of the 3/3 comp was the nerfs to Ana and Roadhog. Roadhog got his hook and damaged nerfed, so he couldn't get those combo kills anymore. Combined, the 3/3 comp didn't have enough offense to compete with the all offensive dive comp.
