146 hrs. on this account and I’m sure a bunch on my alt.
She is the ultimate in low skill high value to the point of what should be embarrassment on the part of the devs.
The biggest thing that needs to happen with her above anything else is a beam rework. Not a nerf, just rework it.
The current range of the thing is way too far. The lock on is way too forgiving.
I’m more in favor of her having something like Echo where she fires projectiles that latch onto you and damage over time and she gains half the amount of health in damage dealt by them.
The beam is just no skill stupidity.
Damage orbs? They need to start draining themselves after existing for three seconds or so. No more of these stupid things flying a mile away and killing people. An orb shouldn’t last on the field longer than 5 seconds. it should have a deliberate use and not a “Let’s throw the orb in this general direction and I will probably get so much value out of it.”
Bring some skill back to this game. If you want to make a hero easy to play, cool, but they shouldn’t be a low skill cap hero that’s going to provide twice the value than another high skill cap hero.
A GM quality player playing a “real” hero should blow away the value provided by a relative noob playing a low skill cap hero, but that often doesn’t happen in a world where Moira exists.

Is this actually a bad thing?
So lets say there is a slot who doesn’t require skill to get value… where is the inherent imbalance? Why does this make imbalance?
It’s not like the untapped skill of that moira player can somehow be transfered to other teammates to increase their skill and then whichever team has moira has an overall advantage.
There are people out there who just can’t aim, they’ve got problems with their bones, muscles and nerves that stop them aiming quickly and precisely. I suppose they could play Mercy, that’s another support hero who doesn’t need much aim but if it’s fine for her it’s a similar story with Moira.
Wait, what do you want? To reduce the value?
The devs have ALREADY DONE THAT!
Repeatedly the devs have nerfed Moira while keeping her as easy to play, her value has kept falling over and over again.

Moira atm is the worst support in GM ironically.
140 hours on a hero doesnt make you super good on a hero whatsoever

I think all I need to do is point to her bottomed out pick rate and win rate in GM.
She maybe low value, but she can’t reliably kill Tracer or Genji anymore, cannot heal through mass damage as reliably, and is pretty damned by burst damage, anti-healing, and barriers. Low damage, low aim, low pickrate.
OP isn’t even close to what she is. If anything, she’s UP at a reach, but I think shes just… Fine.

It does happen. Very often. That’s why Ana is a must pick from GM down to plat? And in the top 2 or 3 supports below plat? And then the value Moira gets is basically erased by any focus fire on any target at all.
Her ease of use is to counter mobility. Give her another way to counter mobility just as easily as she’s supposed to now and then we can talk about reworking or nerfing her.
I hope they make her skillful, require more aim i’ll pick her up then
Ok I have like 150+ hours on Mercy. I can say the same about mercy if you think a hero who rapidly drops in pick rate after silver is OP. LOL

So do we or don’t we gauge a hero’s need for changes based on their current effectiveness in a top tier meta that a low % of people will ever get to partake in?
Anyone can get a screenshot from someone elses profile.
The one you’re posting from has a gold boarder but only 13 hrs as her… lol
I can go into the game right now and take a screenshot of someone who has like 2000 reinhardt hours and claim it’s me too.

Most played in qp. Doomfist. Most played this season in Comp. Zarya.
I have 140+ hours on Moira, please nerf her.
At least attempt to hide your profile like the rest of them do.

Are you serious dude?
You really think i found some other Jerbear account with the exact number of hours I specified instead of thinking that maybe something is up with the stats recorded in the forum profile?
Jesus christ
Or maybe stop being dishonest about heroes you clearly don’t main anymore and now dislike.
Moira is really bad in the top ranks.

the profiles on this website do not display up-to-date accurate information regarding a player’s total time spent on heroes, simply because it ONLY displays time spent playing in quick play and competitive.
it does not account for arcade modes, of which includes Quick Play Classic (the original quick play mode which existed in Overwatch for 3+ years). a lot of people still play Quick Play Classic and their hours do not get recorded or displayed on this website. there are also various other game modes which aren’t displayed on the website, not just arcade.
140 hours is nothing though…

Ok, but Moira is not OP.

If she was she would not fall all the way like this. She’s only good in bottom tiers. Meanwhile Ana is zooming way above every healer at 1000 MPH.
And y’all saying Moira is the problem? no, this just shows that the other healers are bad compared to and many need some changes/buffs
