Granted that low ELO players can pull that off. Even then, she’s so evasive to the point that high level Moira players can escape from getting killed. She was already great at that before. Now she doesn’t need that much finesse in low level play while flat-out making any stun punish worthless. If anything, this just makes Sombra even more needed and last I checked, a large portion of the community have a big problem with her.
Moira is not an oppressive hero, even with her buffed survivability. She still has a finite healing resource that needs close range and she still has the lowest damage out of all supports. She needed a niche outside of just healing.
I’ll admit, she’s very good at low ELOs, and this makes her better, but she doesn’t need a direct counter… Plus soooo many heroes are unbalanced at lower ELOs, including but not limited to Reaper, Bastion, Mei… The game isn’t baanced for low ELOs either.

lmao tbh I laugh at sombras playing moira. Having no ammo means being able to interrupt hack with a quick flick and every time a emp comes fade as fast as I see her get out of stealth and healing orb + coalescence to keep team alive until hack’s over
And that niche being to invalidate poor positioning punishes with the push of a button? That’s what stuns are good for. It’s why Tracer players have to manage good positioning/cooldown management to not get stunned by McCree, Roadhog, or Brigitte. If they get stunned, they’re dead. Moira gets stunned? LUL Fade into the void.
I agree that she needs a niche, but this isn’t it.

Tracer was also a meta hero with very good damage output, not an untouched healer who has range issues.
Really weird change. Moira does well at lower ranks and then drops off the higher you go. Yet this change only makes it so that Moira becomes even more oppressive at lower ranks where people don’t have good enough aim while doing very little for her at higher ranks where not only dps have the aim to kill her anyway but the Moiras don’t fail to Fade before being hit by stuns either.
It’s the exact opposite. Failed to fade dodge Shatter? No problem you get to fade anyway! I hope this doesn’t pave way to more changes where failing gets rewarded and success of others gets punished.

More like failed to fade dodge shatter? Welp, you’re shattered gg mate. 
Wording, my friend, is finicky
I don’t get this buff. She already had the tools to avoid stuns in the first place. This is basically a get out of jail free card for poor play now.

A) Been said, read the convo.
B) Yes and no, read the convo.
C) TL:DR - Read the convo.
To be honest, I’d love that she had an ability that created some kind of yellow purple square of clouds (idk she is a chemist lol) that lasted for 1-2 seconds and blocked enemy CCs in it, with a high cooldown of 12-15 seconds or so.
That would be great for her to protect the team from CCs and not having the “cc idc card” to bodyblock CCs in higher elo while being a free save card in lower ones.
Keyword was and probably still won’t ever be after 2-2-2 rolls through because Bunker will reign supreme. Also, Moira has range issues??? She isn’t Reaper FFS.
And Tracer won’t be good against bunker? snort
Tracer is still very good - the only reason she isn’t still meta is the advent of GOATS. (EDIT: by way of Brig)
Geneticist, but I get your point
That could be interesting!
You forget about Baptiste or?.. Tracer is a hero that can be used against it, but not by herself or even with one other flanker. It’s why she’s used in 3-4 DPS comps against Bunker.
How could I forget about Baptiste when I am a general in the “P is pronounced” army (it is, btw)? And of course, I’m not saying she counters the whole comp by herself, but she is quite good against it, as she can needle the enemy, distract them from the rest of her team, and ult after the Bap has used invol on something else/ult to put invol on cd. There might be better choices, but if you’re a Tracer main, you still have a place against bunker.
Moira’s skill floor just became the skill basement

She can fade out of a SLEEP DART FROM ANA. That’s not okay. The poor Ana literally AIMED HER SLEEP DART WHICH IS ALREADY HARD TO HIT, and Moira just hits her little fade button and undoes it like it never happened. I get not liking CC, but for the love of gosh, at least make it so she stays slept during sleep dart! Help Ana players out, she’s already so hard to kill!
Ahh man i’m stealing that one.
