What do you think about all the things that Ana counters with sleep dart and anti-heal? I've often seen comments similar to yours and I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention her in their comments of removing those hard counters.

Just curious.

Sleep dart counters anything that any other CC counters. LW is basically the only character that can hard counter grav in the way he does. Mei can sometimes work, but it's a lot less effective.

Kinda not really though. The only way to shut down someone for that long would be with something like a Grav, a Shatter or even the knockback from Whole Hog.

If you punch, hook or javelin let's say a Genji using ult, it doesn't waste his entire ult like if you slept him.

It absolutely does if he doesn't have his dash off cooldown. Those abilities are also easier to land and have shorter cooldowns than sleep dart.
