11/8/2024
Developer Comments: This damage value has gone back and forth a few times as it's a significant break point for the number of shots to eliminate some heroes.

- Damage and Healing increased from 70 to 75.
7/5/2024
Developer Comments: Rather small change here but we'd like to minimize the amount of time Tanks can be taken out of the fight for and they are also the easiest targets to hit with Sleep Dart.
Sleep Dart
- Duration of effect on Tank heroes decreased from 3.5 to 3 seconds.

Developer Comment: Ana's damage breakpoint change has proven too effective overall given her long range so we are reverting it back to its previous value. We are also increasing the size of unscoped projectiles when firing at enemies (her projectiles have always had a larger size for allies) which should help them land more consistently against close-ranged threats.
Biotic Rifle
- Damage and healing per projectile reduced from 75 to 70.
- Unscoped projectile size increased from 0 to 0.1.

Developer Comments: Ana’s survivability has improved significantly ever since the addition of the support passive. We are reducing the amount of healing provided by the Biotic Grenade explosion as she doesn’t need to rely on it for self-healing as much as before.
Biotic Grenade
- Explosion healing decreased from 100 to 60

Developer Comment: We've been watching how effective Sleep Dart has been in 5v5 gameplay. It hasn't been overly disruptive as a whole, but since it is significantly more reliable to land against Tank heroes due to their large hit boxes and even more valuable to do so with only one tank on the field, we're reducing its maximum duration against those targets.
Sleep Dart
- Maximum duration on Tank heroes reduced 30%, from 5 to 3.5 seconds
2/7/2023
Biotic Grenade
- Effect duration reduced from 4 to 3.5 seconds
12/15/2022
Biotic Rifle
- Damage and Healing increased from 70 to 75
Biotic Grenade
- Effect duration increased from 3 to 4 seconds

Developer comments: Sleep Dart is still one of the most powerful crowd control abilities in 5v5, though with the addition of cleanse mechanics to offer a potential counter to this effect we're more comfortable with reducing the cooldown here to improve Ana's personal survivability.
Sleep Dart
- Cooldown reduced from 15 to 14 seconds
