Summary
A hilarious mirror match between two Anas inOverwatch 2resulted in both healers killing each other at the same time. These two players got into the spirit of the Mirrorwatch theme forOverwatch 2Season 10 by perfectly copying one another’s moves for the entirety of this 1v1 duel.
Ana is one of the most unique healers inOverwatch 2. Sporting a sniper rifle that can heal allies and damage enemies with the same ammunition, she is a versatile character who is fun to play and challenging to master – so much so thatAna was the most popular hero inOverwatch 2during its first year.
A recent showdown between two Anas showed not only how popular the hero is, but what happens when two evenly-matched playersrun into each other while playing the sameOverwatch 2character. Shared byOverwatch 2fan JERRRA on Reddit, they and fellow Ana player Smarties encountered each other on the Rio map. Both Anas proceeded to sleep one another at the exact same time. The healers then woke up, threw their Biotic Grenades at the same time, and proceeded to land every shot against one another until both heroes died, with Smarties dropping only briefly before JERRRA.
Ana’s Abilities in Overwatch 2
While projectile travel time makes it so this can happen with any character, it is easier for it to occur with Ana than most other heroes. Ana’s Biotic Rifle ammunitionhas a DoT effect, meaning it deals its damage over time. This gives a greater window of time for the other Ana to hit with a shot of her own, even if they are hit with a lethal projectile. The fact her primary fire also cannot score headshots also helps, as all of her sources of damage are consistent regardless of where they hit.
Needless to say,Overwatch 2fans who saw JERRRA’s clip got a kick out of it, collecting nearly 3000 upvotes and 100 comments at press time. While two Anas killing one another is not the rarest thing in the world, the fact they both did so with identical plays in a 1v1 – down to both players spamming voice lines while sleeping – was a testament to their mutual skill, and a tribute tothe strange and hilarious unspoken rules ofOverwatch 2.
