At least with an ass defender, tank, or offensive hero, it won't gimp the healing. Try as I might, I'm a terrible healer, but I can off-set some bad tank defensive player. 

I bet the next character will be a full offensive like reaper and you'll get entire teams full of them.

Reaper isn't a full offensive though. He's a flanker. McCree, Soldier, and Phara are your full offensive heroes. Reaper gets murdered trying to charge in. I think that's he biggest confusion with casual players. They just look at their category and think they can do it all. Tracer and Reaper are meant to distract, not be front line attackers. Junkrat and Mei are really the only heavy hitters that can go front line defense, They can be played like attackers, but the rest are mainly backline, and Zen and Ana are not suppose to be main healers, they are complementary. But in QP, once someone picks Ana, forget anyone else being a healer. That's why i always pick Zen after someone picks a healer. Reaper only got overly picked because he looks cool. Hes not picked anywhere near as much anymore over the more powerhouse offensive heroes. When 76's buff comes through, it will probably be even less. It just baffle me that Ana's newness hasn't worn out yet. Even if some jackass plays a flanker like a frontliner, its better than having zero help in the healing dept. I don't have time to stay in Ana's line of sight. We had a boss Lucio on our team the second half of the night and we were unstoppable. Healers are everything, you can mix and match the pieces for everyone else.
