Yep, completely agree. Obviously I don't understand precisely how their rating works but its very clear how little reward I get when there is a leaver, I've had plenty over the last few days including tonight.
Somehow though I've managed to get up to 44 after starting at 43 initially and dropping down to around 36 at one point, so I guess I've not been as unlucky with leavers as some.
Indeed, the 70-80 level is of course difficult, but without HL1, games can sometimes never end (Dva's last point spam) OR double Winston etc.

No more hero stacking 
interested to see what difference this makes (my prediction is games with a decent group of friends will be more fun and less likely to result in going against irritating cheese-strategies... but small-group/solo games will have more salt, leavers and general BM from people who do or don't get their preferred "main")

Ana is already on the PTR for people to try out before she goes live at the end of the month might be worth trying it later see what shes like.
****Ana Amari, a founding member of Overwatch and Pharah's mother, is a support sniper who uses a Biotic Rifle to both heal teammates and deal ongoing damage to enemies from long distances. Her secondary weapon, a Sleep Dart, knocks enemies unconscious.
She can also fire a Biotic Grenade, an area of effect ability that works similarly to Soldier: 76's Biotic Field, but both heals teammates and damages enemies within range.
Ana's Biotic Grenade has the additional effect of boosting incoming heals for allies affected by it and temporarily disabling enemies from being healed
Finally, Ana's ultimate ability — Nano Boost — increases the movement speed, damage output, and enemy attack resistance of her teammates.****

How comparable is she for healing and damage throughput to other characters that do similar? Are we looking at more Soldier level damage to healing or is more like Zenyatta? Can her gun be fired semi accurately without the scope or is it like firing a sniper without a scope and the shot can go anywhere?

YouTube is your friend
almost as bad as saying google is your friend, nothing wrong with asking a community's opinions
Her healing is better than Zen, but Zen's damage is WAY higher, though Ana's shots are easier to hit. Her unscoped rifle shots are fast projectiles like Hanzo, her scoped shots are hitscan like Widow Maker. She is viable to do damage close range unscoped as they're accurate semi-auto shots for decent damage. Her grenade does damage and prevents healing so she's super good against roadhog and counters zenyattas ult.
She's really good and FUN, but she isn't for everyone, a lot of people will want to play her but will tunnel vision too much and forget their healing duties.
the game just doesn't like me. Went 6/4 in placement and ended up rank 54. Every single comp game I've been the highest level with avg teams of 43~. When we win I only gain 20-30% and every loss is a 90% drop. It's dropped me down to 46 already now :s
