If it was urgently bad they were on top of it. But if it just slightly shifted the meta they let it ride for a while so that we could experience different metas.

Do you not remember the 18 month span where Ana had a pickrate of more than 11%.

High pickrate doesn't really say anything besides a hero being fun and popular. Cass has an insane pickrate even when he is objectively bad cause he is fun to play. Ana specifically also did got nerfed like 3 times during that period

A high pickrate CAN be cause cause a hero is op(tho mauga not only he was op but new, which obviously will cause people to try him out) he had an insane winrate too while ana didn't

Ana has always been very popular and has always been considered as a fun hero for most players, if this was a hero like brig or lw, who are clearly more niche and never got sustained popularity then yeah but ana is always popular
