That literally is not her problem at all. She already does ~20% more healing than other supports.
Her problem is that she has no solid skillful utility to add to her team. This prevents them from buffing her numbers to make her viable at high ranks (where she is currently useless) without making her oppressive in low ranks (where she is already quite formidable).
They ran into this exact same problem with Reaper and Sym but their solution was to balance around low ranks and leave them useless elsewhere.
This problem actually comes back to top down balancing. Moira isn’t supposed to be played as a dps, so the devs cannot balance her around a wrong playstyle. Moira has the lowest dps in-game. Clearly if someone cannot kill her or cannot NOT get killed by her, they should practice more.
I like the cut of your jib, judging by your sensible logic.
But sadly people on OW don’t usually play the hero that they were given as how they should be played.
People will always play:
Charge Reinhardt,
Sniper Ana
Wall skater Lucio
Pistol Mercy
DPS Moira
AFK Sombra
George of the jungle Wrecking Ball
and etc
whether we like it or not.
But that doesn’t mean the devs should nerf the exploited skills in the wrong way.
If Moira’s DPS on her damage orb was too high, then they should’ve halved it, NOT make it into a spitball skill that retains its damage.
What makes you think that it was because her damage was too high and not because her damage is too easy?
This was the reasoning for their changes. The goal seems to be to increasing her skill ceiling. You’re just misinterpreting it and then getting mad about it for some reason.
That’s still different from what I’m saying. It could deal virtually no damage and still be too easy because its live iteration is of an ability that is essentially a skill check. This is bad because in part due to it Moira is really good in low ranks and really bad in high ones. Numerical tuning of a broken ability like that does nothing.
In that case there’s nothing much else to be said. You think that she should be buffed to do more healing and I (and apparently the devs) disagree because she already does a massive amount of healing compared to the rest of the support roster. Low healing has never even been on the radar when it comes to Moira’s list of problems.
You must’ve been living under a rock cuz that’s what this forum ALWAYS talked about.
Then you make the students get better NOT making the tests harder.
I mean, why do people like you think this way?
If a core of a problem is evident that her damage is more prominent than her skill, then how about nerfing the damage so that it’s less impactful in the game?
Why do you people always force things to get harder for no reason just to solve a simple problem?
Never said, dead. Gutted.
Never said gender mattered. I found it interesting.
And people should start to read the god damn post more thoroughly before they post something
They didn’t want to lower her damage they want to up her skill floor. In fact they wanted to increase her play potential which would actually increase her power.
are you stupid? do you really think blizzard genuinely thinks “hmm, i hate women. guess its time to act on these feelings by reworking a female character.” youre not special enough for blizzard to be hellbent on “killing” your favorite characters. stop with this stupid victim mentality. its a video game.
No, this was their only option, due to Free for all Death Match being a thing. She has to be, like all heroes, capable of putting out reasonable DPS, so now they made it harder to be “EZ Mode” about it. Not saying I agree with the mentality, but people will complain if they can’t play a hero.
