Top tip is to go into FFA as Ana and practice against all the McCree's, Tracers, Genjis and Reapers. It really improves your 1v1 chances for when you get dived or find yourself in a hard situation.

Poggers! Good luck on the grind to masters :)

Maaan. I'm very happy for you fellow Ana but it makes me also so bummed out. I was two wins away from diamond but now after a baaad loss streak I'm somehow in gold and it has utterly murdered my interest in the game. The quality of games in gold is just so bad I have a very hard time having fun in comp. It's like playing a different game. People don't know the basics. My aiming stats match your quote and I'm proud of my Ana after learning loads from mL7, but trying to climb out of gold just isn't worth the stress it comes with...

Don't stress and play healthy. Sleep well and never play tired. If you lose more than 2 games and you're getting tilted, play some arcade or play the next day. I think the mentality is so important when you play Ana because it's so easy to cruise control and not make big plays when the opportunity comes up.

Hang in there man, I got up to 2999 few days before this and fell to 2900. Seriously thought about giving up there. The pay off will be worth it!

I feel like Ana in plat is so hard to play. Peeling is non-existent and the quality of tank play is so poor. If you are even a half way decent tank you just climb to diamond due to the scarcity of them. So many people just get filled on to MT or feed.

I did have to swap out of Ana when the enemy team had more than 2 dives. It's doable but there's definitely better options like Moira or brig.

It took me a total of 7 seasons, but I finally got here and I was ecstatic!
I started out around plat and have been forever stuck there. I was always hovering around 40~50% scoped accuracy in plat, but over time I got better and better. Now I'm usually sitting at 60+% scoped accuracy.
The most helpful tip I got was from watching Jayne's Ana coaching videos. Learning to quickscope and using offensive nades on the enemies is so important. Landing a good anti nade has bigger effect than some ults, and it's on a 10 sec cooldown. I learned to not use it so much on myself if possible. Some other things that I got better at are:
shooting down pharahs within 4 shots (assuming she's not pocketed by mercy)
landing sleep darts on roadhog / post-piledriver hamster, predicting rein shield drop.
quickscoping, I still can't utilize it very well against enemies who dive me (tracer, genji) but for healing allies who are walking in a line, it's useful.
Not wasting a shot because I'm not sure if the ally is topped off or not. Most of the time, 1 or 2 shots on a 200 hp ally is enough and the third bullet goes through them. Just gotta land those 2 shots and focus your attention on something else.
Thanks for these tips, I really need to get onto more quick scoping and not wasting shots!
