I was thinking of one small change that could balance Moria.
Allow her Orb to have HP and be destroyed.
Since Moria’s orb only disappears if it does its maximum 200 damage or 10 seconds ( allowing her to drop a new one immediately )
I think the better option is to give it 200 hp and let it be attacked by the enemy team. The HP represents the amount of damage it can do before it does. So damaging it reduces its total damage \ healing.

Doubt it would change much since your average OW player has no sense of priority.

Okay. Here’s what I’m going to say.
Stop coming up with suggestions with what you think is going to make Moira balanced. Why? Because she’s already balanced.
All you’re doing at this point is furthering the agenda of the “nerf Moira” bandwagon by trying to compromise with them.

Why? In terms of utility the orb is just does too much.
It has a 5m range + bounces around + 50damge per second + can hit multiple enemies at once + 20m second move speed allowing it to easily chase enemies.
I think the orb it self has more utility than every other ability.
By making it targetable it allows it to be shutdown if used against a large group.

so a headshot sized orb that either travels at 300 mph or slow and no where near you with the health pool of every non tracer squishy. Honestly why would anyone bother trying to shoot it? You can run dva if it’s an issue and honestly Lucio heals back that damage about as quickly as it happens if it’s more than one hero caught in it.
- It splits 200 damage among 6 people.
- When you throw the damage orb, you cannot throw a healing orb for another 10 seconds.
- It can be deflected or eaten by DM.
- Can easily be healed through if you’re not by yourself.
If you think the orb does too much when it has these downsides to it, you just need to learn how to play better.
Or you know, just stop trying to 1v1 her since that what she excels at.

D.Va can’t be available on the entire map at once.
Simply saying D.Va 3 times and clicking your shoes together doesn’t make her magically appear to remove the orb.
Because its health drops as it does damage. Which means you can shut it down early to save a team mate low on health.

Can’t you just walk away from it?
I can do that with Zen so I believe every hero can

Are you joking about the orb being the best and needing changes? It has a relatively short range, the damage splits, it moves in straight lines And is easily avoidable, delectable, or deflectable.

Problem is not full health heroes - its the fact it is a fire-forget and chase, with a 5m homing status.
It does 250 (or 300?) easily avoidable damage, spread among all of your teammates.
It is not an issue unless you are dumb and try to 1v1 Moira.
It does not need changes, nor does Moira herself.

Balance Moira? She is pretty balanced as far as I see.
The orb is flying away anyway in the hands of most Moira players because they are launching it into the open areas and it will never return. 
Really? Hope you know that the orb has 3 factors which is destroying it or making it useless.
- time: It gets destroyed after 10 sec
- it gets destroyed after it has put out a specific amount of healing or damage. It can’t heal or damage the whole 10 sec long constantly in most cases
- it flies away if you are not dropping it carefully in a good position.
bonus: D.Va can eat it, Genji can deflect it.
But fun fact: Every time I see a post about how Moira should be “changed” (a.k.a. nerfed) it is coming from someone who has almost zero experience with her.

I think that it self is the problem isn’t it.
People will always support overpowered abilities, by saying it is the “best” it is essentially not wanting something powerful to be removed because it is so easily used.
The same argument was made with Mercy mass ressurect.
Defense matrix has a ridiculous range unless your in spawn most times you just need los and like I said if she’s an issue bring out the dva so likely she’ll focus her not to mention she is a dive tank she can jump moira

Literally walk away from it. Press one of the 4 buttons that move your character, and the orb is no longer an issue.
If you are trying to fight Moira in a small space, you are bad and need to not do that.
Moira is perfectly fine where she is.
I should also mention that if you have a Lucio, stack up and all it will do is charge his ult.

Yeah but the key difference between pre rework Mercy and Moira is that one is balanced and one isn’t.
How in the world is an easily dodgeable orb overpowered??? Literally every 200 hp hero (ignoring zen) has a way to either get away or heal through it.

This would literally make her unplayable, so a definite no from me.

It wouldnt exactly make her unplayable, you should be using healing orbs over damage orbs generally always, but acting like her damage orb is any sort of threat is just stupid.

I don’t know why people keep thinking I am talking about 1 v 1ing her or other ridiculous statements.
I am only talking about the utility it offers for a single ability. Is more than any other ability in the game.
It offers Area denial \ easy pick offs on low health enemies \ Doubles her DPS to 100 per second - ontop of her 20m range and 30 hps life steal.
In terms of a single ability it is just loaded.
People of course don’t want it nerfed because who would except a sane person accept the fact it just does too much?
