Is Moira a healer?

You know Blizzard listed Widow as ‘Defense’ and she was always 100 times better on Offense.

Now they list Moira as a healer.

Is she? Take a look at the screenshots and you tell me.

Gold damage, gold healing, 5 gold medal in 2 games, 92% win rate?

All in the plat bracket. Not like this is bronze or anything.

No other healer could even come close to stats like this.

Broken?

She works like that in a deathball comp. If she was in a dive comp she wouldn’t do well. So yeah she is a healer who can get damage in tho it should only be used to either finish off a low target or to Regen her heal spray.

She can heal so she’s technically a healer.

Specifically, she has a brief passive heal, a consistent heal with the orb and a burst heal with her KAMEHAMEHA.

Soldier can heal… so he’s what? A healer?

Shes not a healer

She is a support

Healing is just something she can do in addition to damage

There is no rule saying someone that can heal cant do damage

DPS with a singular heal option.
Moira has many ways to heal.

Not broken: inflated.
Moira can inflate her stats with ease and anyone with enough time as her knows this much.

1-Elims(both cases)- Any lick of her ray or her ball counts as damage that contributes for an elim in this gane. So she can do it while, for example, recharging her healing orange soda normaly, not even thinking about doing much damage.
2- Damage- problematic in two fronts: her dps/tanks not doing enough damage and should work on that, and mostly this is achieved through battle Moira.
3- Obj time- She can stall and stay in objectives for longer due to fade.
4- Healing- She has good burst and group healing. If you are a solo healer this is peasy easy and if hey are with a Mercy or Zen it is also easy.

I guess maybe I just see a problem with the fact Moira is out damaging two DPS while simultaneously outhealing the other healer.

Seems broken to me. None of the other healers can do this.

Heck 1o1 Moira will kill any DPS faster than they can kill her except maybe a lucky headshot from Widow.

Moreover she does it all without even having to aim requiring little to no skill on top of that.

Sounds like your team’s dps need to work on their aims, plain and simple. Moira has 50 dps. 100 dps on a 10 sec cd if she uses her ball as an attack . A dps’s primary fire alone is usually that. And we are not counting bursts like helix rockets or mines. If your dps is having difficulty killing a Moira, it is time to group up and help each other.

And if your/her team is close, you bet that she is going to win the healing gold medal (gold ball is 300 hps in total, and adds per person that touches 50 hps to her 80 hps. Its more than 100 hps. ) And if she is healing 80 hps to 2/3 people at the same time, since her heal is aoe…

Do you even look at the numbers? In 3of those games, you had 3k damage and that was somehow gold damage. Do you know how awful that is? How you won any of those games is beyond me. Same thing with your healing. How is 2k healing good, even if it is gold? That’s not a Moira problem, that’s a “your team is trash yet you still win somehow” problem. You seem to be one of those DPS Moira’s that people complain about, which means you are not doing your job as a Support, which would include supporting your team by healing them.

As I said, your numbers that you’ve shown us are actually on the disappointing side, so that just means your team is doing worse than you, not because the Hero you are playing is overpowered. I’ve gotten gold healing as Roadhog in comp before, doesn’t mean he’s a great healer, it means i got shot more than I should have and was able to survive and heal myself.

I can consistently kill Moira at my skill level as DPS without any problems, and I’m Plat too.

In that sense, Zarya requires no aim at all, since they have the same aiming mechanic, just different animations.

she works even in dive just like brigitte

I don’t consider myself a DPS Moira, I consider myself a balance Moira because I’ve found a perfect balance between damaging to get my healing back and healing. My teams hardly ever complain about heals from me and I normally have between 8k and 20k healing depending on how aggressively my team plays or how hard the enemy is coming at us. Sometimes they hide well enough behind our tanks that I don’t need to heal as much.

But when I have Gold Damage, Elims, and Objective kills? Then that means my DPS is lacking and I’m picking up the slack for them. I once had a game not too long ago that I was Moira the entire game and my final stats were:

Elims - 74
Obj Kills - 58
Damage - 15,500 (somewhere around there, can’t remember the exact number)
Healing 21,400 (again, the exact number eludes me)
Objective time - 7:32

I asked my DPS which were Hanzo and Ashe what their stats were; Hanzo left the group, saying nothing. Ashe told me theirs was

Elims - 24
Obj Kills - 10
Damage - 7k
Objective time - 0:14

So, for me, it’s usually my DPS is lacking.

No. It means your not healing enough and your DPS are dying. I’ve found lots of Moira mains like healing Tanks but not really anyone else.

No she’s an off-DPS and also a main tank.
