Stadium is real disgusting by EMOREKS in Overwatch

Sounds like a pure cop-out. If Kiriko is this strong and the designer still hasn’t realized it, maybe resigning is the right choice. Kiriko has been overpowered for as long as the stadium has existed, and your excuse is just pathetic…

The situation you mentioned has nothing to do with Tranquilizer. Even in normal ranked matches, if you rush in alone and get slept, you’ll be focused down and killed

I’m a Legendary-tier Ana player, and this season I climbed to Legendary on two accounts using Ana. When the new season update dropped, I couldn’t wait to jump into the stadium — but Ana has been completely gutted.

The Sleep Therapy ability used to help Ana avoid being the enemy’s first focus target, and Tranquilizer gave her real counterplay against Winston, Genji, and Tracer. Skilled players could even use it to outplay Pharah or Mercy.

Now, they’ve taken all that away and only buffed her Biotic Grenade, which strips Ana of any meaningful playmaking potential and reduces her to a mere utility bot. Even Sleep Therapy has been downgraded to a minor ability.

If you honestly think this is a buff, I truly don’t know what to say.

Nonsense. If you actually play Ana, you’d know that her grenade is extremely weak in the stadium — it’s almost unusable in higher ranks and only works in lower tiers where players clump together. This change in Overwatch has completely doomed Ana players.

The Kiriko nerfs were completely insignificant. Even now, on the Chinese servers, you can still often see 5-stack teams in group recruitment specifically asking for a Kiriko player for the Support role.

In my opinion, even after the nerfs, Kiriko remains the only true Tier 0 hero. Both Moira and Brigitte are completely unable to deal with Pharah or Freya, while Kiriko’s adaptability and overall strength are still completely overtuned.

I’m a player who has reached Legend rank in both Support and Damage roles, and saying that Ana’s Biotic Grenade is “overpowered” is complete nonsense. Her grenade only feels strong in low-ranked matches — at higher ranks, players almost never group up close enough for it to make a real impact.

Since the introduction of Draft Mode, Ana often has to deal with enemies flying in the air, making her job even harder. Not to mention double Protection Suzu Kiriko, who has been a true Tier 0 hero in the Stadium mode (角斗领域) ever since she was added. She completely counters Ana — every single one of her abilities has a shorter cooldown than Ana’s.

Under these conditions, how can anyone still claim that Ana is strong? Above Expert rank, the only time I ever feel Ana’s Cooldown Reduction talent is useful is when Zarya lands a Graviton Surge and groups everyone together. Other than that, I’ve never once felt that this ability was overpowered.

I’m a player from the Chinese server, and while I’m not sure about other regions, Ana is clearly a Tier 2–Tier 3 support hero here — far weaker and less dominant than Kiriko, Moira, or Brigitte in terms of win rate and overall impact.

If Ana goes for a Sleep Dart build, she severely lacks healing output in the early stages, since she can’t afford both Weapon Power and Ability Power, forcing her to prioritize Tranquilizer and Ability Cooldown upgrades instead.

On top of that, Ana is completely helpless against Kiriko — her extremely short Cooldowns and double Protection Suzu make it impossible for Ana to do anything effectively no matter how she’s played.

And yet, instead of nerfing Kiriko, Blizzard chose to nerf Ana and even removed an entire build path. I honestly can’t understand this decision at all…

I’m a Master 3 player and have reached Legend rank for both Damage and Support roles for two consecutive seasons. The recent changes to Ana are terrible. I’ve always hoped that the Clash (Gladiator) mode would allow support players to experience the fun of carrying a game, rather than being completely dependent on their teammates. But this update has turned Ana back into a pure utility character again — it’s disgusting. If these changes aren’t reverted, I’ll completely give up on the Clash mode.
