Just like every post I ever do, I think singling out moira is a mistake . You need to commit to an idea whole sale. Look at how Baptiste complaints are already here. And then they’ll complain that Moira isn’t healing even more than they already do. Wanna speed up the game? It’s not just shields and it’s not just Moira.
Imo the Nerf on Moira should spark a harsh Nerf to Ana, Baptiste, mercy and brig to mark a full ttk revamp.
Placing Baptiste at 40 hps
Ana at 50 hps, nade heal Nerf for a 30 insta hp
Brig aoe heals reverted and armor pack dropped to a 45 hps
And mercy to 40 hps
Hard Nerfs to heals across the board and make the ttk basically nothing if your healing isn’t a direct resource pocket
EDIT: I just want to point out that a- I wouldn’t suggest nerfs without changes elsewhere. I just didn’t want a rework x hero thread. And b- this still is more healing available midgame than launch overwatch which had only 3 healers, and 2/3 of them wouldn’t be touched and have been buffed in heals since launch
Be a great way to get a lot of supports to quit or switch roles Certainly, I’d be leaving OW, because if I want to play a super-fast TTK FPS game, I’m going to go play a game that actually does it well and isn’t a different brand of game trying to force itself into a poor imitation of one
I mean…that’s any change? It doesn’t make sense to make any person feel singled out. An issue I take with brig and mercy being reworked.
I know a lot of mercy players who felt like they are forced on Moira for heals. But that shouldn’t exist. Instead, the devs should just cough up and commit a whole idea and not just punish mercy or Ana or whoever for doing their role.
Just say, we want faster ttk. And if you don’t like it…cool
The reason DPS is so high is to burst down barriers that have a high amount of health. With that health gone, the damage is instead directed to the players. Which have significantly less health. Meaning that without barriers, they die a lot quicker.
So no, it doesn’t eliminate the point. Remove barriers and the DPS doesn’t have to be that high.
That’s even better! I’m sure nobody complains when a support does more DPS than healing, there were no threads complaining about Moira flanking or anything like that, no complaining with battle Mercy. Looks nice to me then, i’ll get a shorter queue and i can still focus on DPS.
This isn’t true. McCree wasn’t changed to be a tank buster/ shield breaker. Nor tracer. Bastion isn’t highly used because it’s not just barriers that were an issue to players.
The point is that we are totally eliminating the idea entirely. Every support more Zen. Note that they didn’t nerf moira’s dmg. They nerfed her heals.
