In my Gold experience, Ana at first looks appears to be a primary Support Hero but in need of a secondary Support or a very strong frontline. Fragile backline character with no bonus mobility and only escape tool is a skillshot Sleep (new status effect). Her healing is dependent on hitting skillshots on demand, as well as good positioning. Biotic Grenade is a great tool both offensively and defensively. I am glad Nano Boost has different effects than Lt. Morales's Nano Boost and is more oriented towards Mages and other cooldown-based Heroes than Morales's focus on Basic Attack Heroes. And finally Eye of Horus sounds like a great global tool for healing allies at other Objective points across the Battleground as well as sniping low-Health enemies running away. All in all, I think Ana will be a solid pick in the right hands, but still needs a team designed around her to protect, help, or enhance her skillset.

is she top tier?
The name is Latso and I have been playing a multitude of competitive pc games online for many years. The moment I heard about hots, it would become a match made in heaven and playing it would become my top priority. Since, I have been playing the game for quite a while now and have a lot of experience under my belt I took it upon myself to create hero concepts for the community.

There's almost no way to know after just one day of PTR. As always, the matchmaker's borked there, people are playing a limited subset of heroes (the ones who have been changed, since that's what they're interested in), and we have such a widely differing variety of playstyles in each match that it's practically impossible to tell if a hero's top-tier. Yes, with certain edge cases like Kel'thuzad being able to do 8k+ damage to a single target once his quest is complete, there's more immediate feedback, but it's much harder to gauge a support hero's impact. Give it a week or two before trying to find out if a hero's OP.
I am become Morales, destroyer of worlds.
