Moira Dance - Why?

Minor nitpick, but as a Moira main, I was really looking forward to Moira getting her dance emote. As an Irish character, I was expecting an Irish jig (think Riverdance). Something to fit not only with her heritage, but also her personality - refined, subtle, rapid with sharp, precise movements. Not this… monstrosity. Seriously? Just, why?

Have you watched the video of the goths dancing under a bridge by any chance?

But her dancing emote is awesome, and why does everyone want her to have the riverdance just because she’s irish

It seems Moria is secretly a person who enjoys heavy metal and cosplay based on her responses from Uprising. So she might not be some one interested in her “heritage cultural dances”

Same reason Mei isn’t dancing something like this

and instead is actually doing a japanese anime dance.

While what Moria has now looks like she is having a stroke and lost functionality between her brain and limbs.

I’ve expected a lot from Zarya as russian. Was disappointed at every turn. Welcome to the club.

all i want for christmas iiiis…yooooooUUUUU

that one?

It really bad. I wanted riverdance too
I was thinking she could spin one way and spray the yellow around her and then spin the other way and spray the purple around her in her dance.
That would have looked really cool

tbh i don’t like it for my own nitpicky reason…

the cybergoth dance looks mechanical in a way which adds to the charm, but Moira’s looks… flowy?

I don’t see the problem. Moira is a social outcast that has repeatedly shown a lack of remorse or empathy for human life when progress could be made. It only makes sense that she would at some point have been a goth or at the very least, not invited to a party so that she would never have learnt to dance “properly”.

it started to grow on me a little but in game it looks awkward from literally any angle except front (which still does but… less). or maybe it’s just because the blackwatch skin shows how long and skinny she is. idk.

i guess moira is just the “how many references can we put into a single hero” hero.

Because blizzard knows what their character is like and it apparently isn’t what you think it is.

Personally, I love the Idea that Moira is an awkward introvert who doesn’t know how to dance.

Because Same.

“lost functionality between brain and limbs”, huh? That would be consistent for a scientist, if you think about it.

I can’t include links in posts apparently but if you look up goth underpass rave I think it’s the first result, its got like 4.2 mil views

It’s an 80’s discotheque dance randomized flailing manoeuvre, I think it fits her quite well. Irish people unleash full of booze in the weekend. It’s an endearing dance

there is that one person who makes terrible thing at blizzard. prob the same person who did the cyber goth, punk tracer, along with that new 8 year old boy tracer skin.

someone has a weird fetish over there
