Quite often in comp i do, thats why i stopped playing comp outside of my friends asking me to play with them
I mostly dont care about them, live and let live you know?
But some of my friends get really upset when people get toxic towards them, especially my girlfriend who is really fragile in the sense of she just started playing the game on pc, and is not the best yet, and when we play and someone starts talking trash she starts to blame herself for everything in the game.
You don’t play Moira passively LOL might as well go mercy lmao if you’re going to be passive and never do any damage because she can damage boost and has res etc…
Also I never claimed to be currently GM, I’m actually 3.8 right now. Hence I said “highest ranks” and not “rank” but I have played Moira at every rank but bronze since her release.
Neither of you are quite correct, i am a support main, who plays comp (although on another account) around gm, reached top500 once, and started chilling in low gm afterwards.
This account i havent placed since season 19 i think? I only really use it for forums now since it has my post history
No bad blood nor insult to either of you
But to my knowledge, which i dont know that much as i havent had a HUGE amount of time on moira while i was up there, is that the playstyle a moira has is highly highly dependant on your team. If your team has a deathball comp moira CANNOT be passive and just heal, you need to do a lot of damage as well, as the plan is to kill everyone as fast as you can.
But if youre doing double shield, and just waiting on the enemy to push, and theyre also doing something like double shield, most of the game can go passively healbotting your team.
so in a way youre both kind of correct?
at least thats what ive seen from other moiras when ive played with them
Quite often its how op she is, i dont bother with people who complain about how easy moira is since that doesnt really matter in the context of balancing heroes
It’s always the Reins who complain. Whenever I play Hammond or Sigma I always have a Rein complaining that “I’m throwing because I’m not picking Zarya”
Sorry Reinhardt mains, I won’t pick Zarya to fix the dumb mistakes you make. I’ve actually dropped SR because of this but then again if I’m getting more kills, more damage, more objective time than others on my team then I’m doing something right.
(P.s) I’m sure people appreciate the healing whether they say it or not. I’ve always found Moira more valuable than other supports because she’s damn good at keeping her team alive. Albeit if they don’t rush in and die…
If the person is already playing Moira and can’t heal, then I don’t think switching to something will solve any issue. Moira is already one of the hero with the lowest amount of skill required to be effective.
Playing Rein with Moira feels awful when the other team has Rein/Ana. You have to deal with antis, sleeps, and nanos, while the opposing Rein doesn’t have to worry about any of that.
I don’t ask Moiras to switch. I just go Winston in that situation. I figure Moira and I can both go beat up squishies. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it sure as hell feels better than playing Rein with Moira.
since her release.
