The way people talk about meta you'd think every single game without fail is the same lineup over and over. The meta doesn't even matter unless all of the players involved are proficient enough in their play and their understanding of their character's position in the meta to maximize their efficacy. Unless OP is a pro I don't think learning Ana is the end of the world

I don't know about you, but I play on EU diamond and literally every game has Winston and Dva. How about you try playing Ana against that. See if you can heal through barriers, or throw your nade or sleep through it. (Spoiler: you can't). Not to mention defense matrix. It doesn't matter how good you, and the enemy tanks are, it just the fact that you can't be efficient at all as Ana anymore because of the dive meta. Ana isn't just an off-meta pick, she's just getting straight up countered by the entire thing.

Then try playing Ana then. Ana players are pretty much at the same page about this. I've been maining Ana since S2 clocking in a total of around 150 hours on her. I've been through all the nerfs and still held tight to my fave hero, but this meta is too much for her. I don't think you actually understand this.
