David Bowie,of course.
I should have known. Hahaha!
Nah, thereâs no counter to her damage orb. It goes through shields and everything!
/sarcasm
Long range makes it easier to kill her because she has a hard range limit. Burst damage counters her even more, blasting through both her team healing and her lifesteal. And finally, barriers, especially in forced brawls, counter her healing pretty well, forcing her to rely only on her orb.
Ohh noo you are getting the damage orb nerfed for sure.
But sheâs also not really a counter to anyone either. Sheâs great for flanking and killing Mercy, but she can angel leap to safety. She can kind of handle Ana, but she can handle her too. The only character she can reliably take out, Iâd say is Genji. But he can still deflect her damage orb or run before death. So she doesnât counter anyone really.
Only thing Iâd want done for her is a little damage and healing buff to her ult, even a zen orb can heal you through it and a Tracer can still die from DVA bullets while standing in it.
People hated symmetra autolock weapon, it was reworked. People hated hanzo scatter arrow as lucky blind shotsâŚhe was reworked. None of them, symmetra or hanzo were in a good spot or were meta or overturned.
Now there is MoiraâŚwith a random orb and autolock that can together mix all good and fun feelings that brought to us the old symmetra and Hanzo scatter arrowâŚ
So Im not saying she needs a nerf, or that she is not balanced⌠Im just sayingâŚthis happened beforeâŚ
P.S : Roadhog hook was nerfed cause nobody wanted a perceived one shot kill abilityâŚfew months afterâŚDoomfist was released.
So do not worry even if Moira is nerfed to the ground, Blizzard will release another character that resumes what people can find annoyingâŚeven if is balanced or underpowered.
When she first came out DPS Moira was viable because of the damage orb and they nerfed it. Then came the âbug fixâ of keeping her from healing through shields. So she got her nerfs
Maybe because they were bad. Maybe what players thought had nothing to do with it.
Oh my god, is this actually a thing? What the hell did Moira do?
For the million millionth time. It. Is. Not. An. Autolock.
Itâs just a graphical appearance of a marginally wider beam than Zarya, that she needs to regenerate healing. The actual DPS is really low.
Stop whining about FFA DM balance. Moira is only good at low levels as a healer.
You got your skill based healer in Ana who absolutely dominates high ranks.
Basically Seagull started a campaign against all the new heroes not called Ana.
That is literally it.
Maybe you are right, anyway let me point one thing out. Again is my opinion andâŚagain Im not saying Moira needs nerfs or that she is unbalanced.
Ow in high ranks is a totally different game from what it is in a casual or low rank environment. In high ranks people want to show their skills to be eligible, and also they want to take merit for their gameplay. Also they have a muscular memory and mechanical skill I do not even pretend to come close to. Those people were able to shoot a symmetra jumping two times in the head and develop a damage reliable and deadly.
In low ranks or casual gameplay there was not such aim, and so symmetra could come with her gun full charged and destroy an entire team without been contested. And so in low ranks we have such Moira as flanker doing the same. With random orbs. even if her dps is low.
Some people will say to this that Im saying âgit gudâ to thoseâŚI will say a lot of people do not feel engaged or moved to do so, do not have time or they do not feel like the reward is worth the time or effort.
Is Moira unbalanced?..nope.
Needs a nerf? nope.
Can feel oppresive in low ranks? sure. And orbs can feel unfair when they finish you coming from nowhere? sure it does. It is something that calls for a balance change?..nopeâŚmakes the game better the amount of random sources of damage and such skillsâŚthats for you to decide. FPS players will mock at it, some people will say this game has a turn to a more MOBA characters now that is hitting the game. Others think that aim base players are been too cocky and do not let any character that do not need aim live in peace.
Thats for you to decide.
Figures. This is what the problem is with this community. One streamer says something, and mind you itâs someone who couldnât handle the OWL anymore, then suddenly people see that as a reason to bring out their torches and pitchforks. Itâd be funny if wasnât so sad.
Apparently nerf witch hunt on all the support heroes and nerf them until they are useless and unviable is the new trend now
The only problem I have with Moira is how little effort it takes to reach her maximum damage potential. The only nerfs she needs, if any, are a shorter range on her M2 and something to tone down random kills on low health enemies from damage orbs. Sheâs not overpowered though, so if it were to happen, a minor compensation buff would be appropriate.
Yeah Moira is awesome, leave her alone
There are some people who think she needs buffs, if you think that Moira is underpowered you just be pretty high
Just to add my voice to this: by the same token, lets not go asking for buffs either as itâs very easy to make her OP.
Moira is what Mercy was supposed to be in theory: very much an entry level hero whoâs lack of versatility hurts her at higher ranks but is otherwise well balanced. Her high healing is balanced by its resource demands and her easy to apply damage is balanced by being the weakest in the game. Her ultimate is also very well designed as it can swing a fight but canât completely dominate it. She has high eliminations and a high E:D Ratio but some of the lowest solo kills, damage and final blows in the game. Unlike Mercy she also helps you learn more of the core skills of OW too: for example my tracking has got a lot better from playing Moira (since itâs not actually an auto lock) and reflects in my Mei and Zarya gameplay.
I wouldnât totally object to them giving her M2 a tweak though to be something similar to Symms primary: shorter range but ramping up the damage and lifesteal the longer you stay on target. Or perhaps upping the cooldown on her orbs but letting it reset if she scores a final blow. But I donât believe this is essential, just tweaks to widen the gaps between good and great players and increase her competitiveness with Mercy and Ana at the top of the totem pole if itâs felt she needs to go that way.
lol oh Blizzard have got her in their sights. A support doing damage! thats insane! Give it time we will have supports that canât do damage, canât defend themselves, and most importantly canât heal. But still have the genji and tracer on the other side of the map abuse you for not saving them when they went in 1 v 6.
