Moira damage orb rework idea

I’m pretty sure this is just a annoying ability for everyone. It’s constant flying around chip damage is annoying and the fact it bounces around for 10 seconds is even more annoying.

My idea what if instead of doing damage. It absorbs healing? The orb lasts around 7 seconds starts small and grows the more healing it absorbs. When it sapping healing is when it’s connected to a character just like the damage orb.

It would move really slow. At about 2-5 m/s and absorb x% of the healing a hero would receive. Maybe between 50-80%? And limits it’s self between 200-300 hp as the max it can absorb.

I think people would appreciate not having to deal with damage orb and it replaces it with a strong abilty that other Moira’s can also appreciate. Thoughts?

a second type of anti-heal?

Well, i normally pair my ult with a zarya, just picture what this baby can do if you toss it out in a grav.
cant stop a tranq but… hmm not bad,

problem would be her resource management losing one source of income unless she gets some from the blocked healing

she really needs to have that nerfed because right now she can 1v1 most dps because of it. stays at mid range. puts the orb out and right clicks you. you aint winning that duel.

I’ve always liked this idea.

Make it absorb 100% healing, but for the same amount as it currently does damage.

So, if there’s only one target, it would inflict the following amount of anti-heal per tickle:
1 = 50
2 = 100
3 = 150
4 = 200 (orb dissipates)

So if you get tickled once, you’d have enough anti-heal to negate one Bap grenade, or one’s second worth of healing from Mercy. Values, of course, can be adjusted.

Damage orb doesn’t fill her resource meter already. So that shouldn’t be a issue. Unless I’m miss understanding what you are saying

They should rework her ORbs like:

  • The Orbs don’t have auto aim anymore, they will only do healing / damage when you are doing healing / damage with your Primary and Secondary Fire and only to those targets who you are targeting with your left or right click.
    So if you throw a Damage Orb it won’t do anything unless you are targeting and doing damage to someone with your right click, then the Damage Orb will target the same person (if the Damage Orb is close enough to that person) but as soon as you stop doing damage with your right click to that person, the Damage Orb will stop doing damage too.

The same with the Healing ORb but: If you throw it to your teammates you have spray them before it in order to make the Healing Orb to heal them. BUT cuz your primary Fire healing has a 4 second duration it’s only enough to “one-tap” your teammates then the Orb will heal them until the end of that 4 second duration.

And TA-DAAA The skill Orbs will be called skillOrbs with a reason. :grin:

(Since she won’t be able to heal herself with the healing Orb since she cannot target herself with her primary, i’d actually buff her in exchange: Either give her more healing resource to her Primary fire or buff back her self-healing to 30HP/s from Secondary Fire)

I’ve outplayed Moira’s doing this only cause their low ranked and inexperienced. And they play super aggressive. But yea most of the time you won’t win that duel :disappointed_relieved:

I was thinking 100 at first but I feel like that may be alittle to much uptime for it to completely shut it down. And we can’t make the cooldown longer or it throws off the healing orb

To be honest it sucks when a low skill player thinks their the sugar honey ice tea, because they beat you with mei, Moira, brig, and reaper. I think that’s most people frustration with “ez” heroes in a FPS game.
I can’t count how many times a Moira, brig, or mei is frontlining randomly left clicking (right click for Moira) and getting kills, it’s truly not fun for the people playing against it.
Like at least if I die to a mei spike, then hey you got me. But dying because I got froze, or a purple or with soft aimlock Moira, or brig just ulting and holding left mb, is not rewarding at all and is really frustrating to play against.

Remove the orb. Moira is horrifically overpowered and NEEDS nerfs.

I think any heroes where holding left mb, and auto aim (torb, Moira, sym) should not be in the game period

100% agreed. Skill matters in FPS games, and brainlessly pressing a button and not aiming shouldn’t win fights

Symmetra isn’t lock on though???
She shoots a straight beam like zarya. Please tell me you arent complaining about her turrets which are on a 30sec cooldown and can be destroyed instantly :unamused:

That’s why I’ve been playing apex these past two months. Even healers have to aim. I invite all mei, brig, Moira, reaper, torb, and sym players to apex legends and see how you do. I guarantee 80% of y’all wouldn’t even get 2 kills.

Sym turrets to be exact

I feel like you’re forgetting Symmetra has lock on turrets. Funny, I thought you knew everything about your precious Symmetra…

Less focus on just the sym turrets and the heroes mei, brig, reaper, Moira, sym, and torb to be exact as a whole
