How Overwatch’s new hero, Ana, can kick people from games

It’s time for your nap, and that means no more Overwatch.

The sniper Ana from Overwatch can use her sleep dart to make opponents pass out for a short amount of time, but a squad of three Anas can use this capability to put someone to sleep permanently. After about a minute of this perma-sleep, the team shooter’s servers will kick out the player for inactivity.

YouTube creator Youmuus discovered this and demonstrated how it works. Check it out:

Of course, this won’t work in the competitive modem where you can only have one of each character, but it will work in other matches. And while you’ll probably have a difficult time putting someone to sleep uninterrupted for 60 whole seconds in a live bout, here’s a crew actually pulling it off by hiding near the other team’s spawn point.

The targeted player actually didn’t get kicked — probably because he had enough time to throw his flashbang grenade — but he did get a warning from the server about his inactivity.

If others are getting kicked, it’s likely that Blizzard will fix this particular exploit soon. We’ve reached out to the company to ask about that, and we’ll update this post with its response.
