Overwatch’s new sniper mum hero Ana, it turns out, has secret trolling capacities.
Ana’s “Sleep Dart”, which makes enemies unconscious for a few seconds, can actually render a player inactive and kicked from the game. If you collect three Anas around an enemy and keep that enemy constantly asleep, that player will get removed from a match. You’ll need three, since two Anas can’t maintain a perma-sleep considering the dart’s cooldown time.
A video of this was posted today on Reddit. Three friends and I confirmed the mechanic in a custom game.
This perma-sleep hack is hard to pull off in Quick Play, since enemies will be going after the trolling Anas. Additionally, it’s impossible in Competitive Mode — there’s a one hero limit. It doesn’t seem like there needs to be any sort of change made to Overwatch, but it is pretty funny to watch.

Because in Overwatch you always have 1 minute 40 seconds of time where 3 Anas can focus on 1 player…

It says in the article buddy…
And?
Its still a pointless article.
So is your comment.
Congratulations on your pointless retort 2 months on.
Oh wow, why did this come up as a recent released article then.. Sorry mate.
Despite being next to impossible to actually pull off, it seems like an easy fix here would be to not have the sleep period count towards the idle timeout.
It’s Blizzard so i’m sure Diminishing returns will be added to Fix this
