Damage orb is worse then scatter

[LilMsJester-2652]

Not really. Have it do less damage so that it disappears sooner but keep the same orb cooldown.

[anon70538373]

While scatter was an instant death with enough luck, damage orb is like a long and painful will i die? that can and cant kill you depending on rng, and rng shouldnt exist in a game with a ranked mode

That’s the orb’s main weakness, too; it’s slow and it’s loud and super easy to hear coming. Head into the direction the orb is coming from to minimize your exposure to it or just head out into an open area and you’re good. It also does less than half what scatter could, and does that much over a four second duration.

You might want to re-read.

Me: Scatter Arrow just gets aimed at my feet
You: yet it got reworked to something that ALWAYS melts tanks
Me: Yet we have a tank meta, not to mention GravDragons lasting a while

That’s me saying Hanzo has no effect on the Meta now since his been replace.

You: exactly, so having damage orb reworked has nothing to do with tanks

???

Wut.

[MrTickles-1464]

yet it got reworked to something that ALWAYS melts tanks, scatter

Since the damage is not all at once but staggered over several shots it is easier to mitigate and react to.

It is a strong ability but no where near as melting as scatter was.

[Rams3S-21696]

orb was the perfect chance to make moira provide more utility for her team… instead she is a low-skill but decent reward hero

[Tempest-22844]

still better then 1-200 dmg that you have no control over

Pressing A, S, D or W lets your character move. Try it?

[Nurani-1389]

tell them to stay near me

Stay near them? When a death orb is near you?

and in fast paced hero shooter where healers are either always busy or being flanked, welp

Why aren’t you helping your healers who are constantly being dived?

another idea is that it’s too team relaiant

In a team game. Shocking.

[anon70538373]

i kno, now go get the requirements in every possible situation

???

but they bounce randomly

If you hear and see one coming maybe get out of the small, enclosed space where that bouncing maximizes your exposure to it, or it it’s reoccurring several times in the match, stop going in there to begin with.

[Krojack-1117]

It’s a good thing that Moira’s damage orb is useless if you’re with your team.

[Awkward-1942]

and scatter when hitting you doesnt take 30 years to either kill you unfairly or just frustrate you till mental breakdown, it was an instant you died or not.

If something takes 30 years to kill you in Overwatch, sounds like a pretty easy to deal with mechanic.

happens a lot

Definitely sounds like a you problem. Maybe stick with your team?

let’s say ana is busy healing the tank

If Ana doesn’t heal you, that’s not Moira’s fault you died to the easiest mechanic in the game to heal through.

i dont have the list on my mind, but let’ say zenyatta, or mccree or just 76 without biotics,

Why are you isolated as any of those characters?

[Razz-1507]

Pressing A, S, D or W lets your character move. Try it?

it bounces randomly off walls

Stay near them? When a death orb is near you?

let’s say we’re at a choke point, rein throws a fire strike i move aside to avoid it, then the orb bounces to me and i’m just left wanting to delete the game

Why aren’t you helping your healers who are constantly being dived?

i am
bu genji isnt a random bouncing ball

In a team game. Shocking

and it’s the main issue people have with the game
that’s why everyone wanted a cleans ability at some point, but let’s be reasonable, there is too much click to feel good buttons for any ammount to cleans to make the game feel fair.

If you hear and see one coming maybe get out of the small, enclosed space where that bouncing maximizes your exposure to i

still it can bounce and follow me and with it’s range can still RANDOMLY UNFAIRLY KILL ME

It’s a good thing that Moira’s damage orb is useless if you’re with your team.

ye sad to kno teaming up only exists in goats/diamond

If something takes 30 years to kill you in Overwatch, sounds like a pretty easy to deal with mechanic.

pray that it doesnt bounce into you? or that you can die by someone else’s hand so that moira doesnt get that litle kill sound

Definitely sounds like a you problem.

and everyone that hates moira

[VOO-21210]

damage orb is just more spam, the game really needs to tone down the spam and cc.

[Arcadius-11555]

People really will try to spin something any kind of way…

[anon70538373]

still it can bounce and follow me and with it’s range can still RANDOMLY UNFAIRLY KILL ME

It’s not “random” it bounces pretty predictably and slowly off stationary points in the environment. You can’t plan ten steps ahead but if I see if moving ahead of me towards a wall facing directly towards me that’s not at an angle, it’s pretty easy to figure out it’s gonna bounce right back towards me. And no, it doesn’t just randomly hit points in the environment to hone in on you if you’re out, say, the first leg of Junkertown. It goes flying off into space.

[Terx2-1856]

Guess we can’t expect everyone to know basic trigonometry

@Razz-1507

You might want to re-read.

no

Since your not gonna bother, guess I won’t either.

[anon50394144]

you can just pick dva…

or just instalock dps and deal with it

[jacqui-1673]

damage orb is like a long and painful will i die?

Umm okay… Literally just take 1 step to the left or right and you are out of its range.

[MrTickles-1464]

yet it is more consistant and can deal up to double scatter damage

Over a longer period of time. Higher total damage? Yes. More melting then scatter? No.

Scatter could ONE shot some tanks and place others within range of any follow up killing them.

Your argument is that scatter is less melting. Which is incorrect.

[Effervescent-11737]

So my choices are an ability that could one shot an Orisa or randomly kill a squishy around a corner(aka, widow V Hanzo fights were super tilted)

Orrr a sucky orb that does 60dps and moves predictably and slowly that can be countered by “just W 4head?”

I’ll keep my orb thx

[Wraithdagger-1440]

DPS Orb at least has counter play:

• Barriers
• Have the tank soak it
• Genji/D.Va
• Movement

Scatter was “Sometimes you’ll get one shot, sometimes you won’t. You can’t explain that.”
