just look for obvious signs like calling her beam a beem and not a 20 meter autolock with no way to escape it
Oh, no. Not passive at all. I’m saying flat-out that she is.
I definitely feel she’s very low skill. And I don’t believe that there’s anything wrong with that. Not every hero needs to be high skill to get value from them. Accessibility is important, and I understand that Moira’s utility outside of high amounts of healing is nearly non-existent because of that. So there’s definitely a sacrifice there.

I’d love an internal cd on mei’s freeze so she couldn’t just stunlock tanks in a corner for the rest of time. Moira is fine, try being better at murder.
I definitely think she’s Hammond’s strongest counter because of that. but both are kind of niche heroes, so idk if that would be fair. Like, Zarya does pretty good against a Mei. She basically deletes any progress she’s made on her allies being frozen instantly.
I just dont like that meis freeze stacks with her ult.
Sure if she starts to freeze you before the ults occurs the freeze time should be reduced, but if she starts freezing you when the ult starts it should be standard freeze rate imo.
The only adjustment i want for Moira is a damage indication buff when she is tickling you with her beam.
Its too quiet and too many kill cams I watch her melting my team from behind extremely slowly and no one even notices she is attacking because its too faint.
This has been a beef with the game since launch though, its horrible at indicating when enemies are attacking you and from where.
COD does this much better imo.
The saving grace is the game has great directional sound, but ultra faint attacks like moiras are imperceivable during most team encounters and I dont like it.
Wish the corners would just go red like COD, instant data even with explosions going off in your face.
The beam that can’t miss, tied with a orb that can’t miss = 2 second death. derp
Her orb cant miss? Have you tried holding W?
The problem people who do not play moira have with orb is that they run from it while it is moving towards them.
Its only 50dps, u can just walk straight past it and it will continue on behind you safely.
Now if you super low health, yeah its supposed to kill you, its a damage ability.
THe orb moves quite quick if it hasn’t hit anybody yet so you can’t just hold w to avoid not in many situations. It’s literally one of the most brainless abilities in the game. If it didn’t have tether it would be better because people could actually avoid it. Like I said she can kill you in 2 seconds and drain your life at the same time. This lowest dps thing is ignoring reality, also the fact that you can’t miss unless you are just terrible.
I originally didn’t like this myself, but that’s kind of the only way to get D.Va not to eat your slow-projectile ultimate. Had to freeze her and then keep her frozen. ![:frowning:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
Moira is a console character in what should have only been a PC game.
Leave Mei alone, she doesn’t need anything aside bugfixes, and nerfs are the last thing she needs. She’s already a niche hero that is selodom picked, we don’t need to make her again the least picked hero of the whole game again

Many more brainless abilities doggy.
If scatter was ever a skill shot, orb is at least twice that.
I’m hitting double/triple banks with this thing intentionally, its great for junkratting around corners, etc.
But yes, if it is heading straight for you, and you hold W, it will pass you doing about 50dmg. If you were not low health already thats nothing really.
Moira is annoying but annoying isn’t really a nerfable offense IMO. Just shoot her, force her fade, shoot her more. She has consistent DPS, but it’s pretty low, and her regen can’t keep pace with anyone landing more than half their shots.
Mei’s freeze does feel too short, when you’re playing Mei. However, it’s extremely not-fun to be frozen when Mei’s on the opposite team. Playing Mei I can still freeze and get kills consistently even with the short duration, so I’m willing to take the trade of shorter freezes if it means more people are less annoyed.
LOL, if only the PC crowd could sustain such a thing.
Generally games always sell better on consoles, game would have died much faster without that console monies doggy.
Free to play on pc does well though.
only hero that needs a nerf is hanzo.
Anyone who can’t handle a Moira isn’t ready to climb out of their ELO.

Thats how it is sadly, but thats why we get garbage mechanics in a game being touted as a e sport in the pc community. I blame the console aspect on why this game is a steaming turd lately.
I dont blame you, I came from ps4 but went to pc and never looked back.
I’m ruined for console shooters now.
both need a rework tbh
