Moira gets way too much hate

I get some idiot every couple of games complaining about lack of Moira healing when she has the most amount of healing in the game via stat board. You can be doing your best, getting kills and spot healing as needed, but still be called out because these :clown_face:'s think all you should be doing is sitting behind and healing all game as Moira.

Stop with the moira hate plz. Else you wont get ANY healing going forward.

I mean I like playing Moira, but I think her hate is well deserved. You got to embrace it if you want to be a true Moira player.

Yea, let em hate. Just remember to add the “Aren’t you just pathetic” voice line to your wheel

First of all Moira’s stats are inflated, the most inflated out of any other hero I’m pretty sure.

Next, the hate isn’t only because of specific output shown in her stats, it’s that she was fundamentally released as a flanking DPS with no utility in her kit. All she has is heal and damage. Most of the time it doesn’t feel good having a Moira in my team, I’d rather have someone else. In short: she always FEELS like she’s doing ONE thing at a time, even if she’s doing both in the same timeframe.

But when I am not choosing support role, I am not who decides what the player should pick. They should pick who they’re good with, or who they have fun with.

Until she gets a complete rework (which even devs have said were working on, but failed to achieve results), she will continue getting this hate you’ve mentioned because of stereotypes and overconfidence, alongside the hate which would actually be deserved from people that know how to play with/against her.

I swear of all the types of players, Moira players on my teams seem to be the first to open their mouths when we’re not doing well and instantly start to glorify how much ‘damage/healing’ they have.

Too many people being too braindead on an easy hero.

Moira was great with 4 tanks in 5v5 OQ though. I miss that.

The only time I get irritated at Moira on my team is when someone on our team, sometimes even me, need healing and she ignores them to continue to do damage. And it’s not to fill up her resource…she is just being oblivious.

Or if her healing stat is lower than her damage, and team deaths could have been prevented if she didn’t focus more on doing damage more than she needs to.

Other than that, idc. Moira heals the team and helps do finishing damage to low-health enemies, I have no reason to hate her.

I never ever ever see Moira hate. Never. Where’s this come from?

I was in a mid high ranked lobby, I was doing wonders for our team, and they kept asking me to chill even though I was doing everything exactly right, getting kills, coming back to heal, holding space etc and they even said “Report Moira”… For what?? we won? Some people are just toxic

It’s simple, no one cares about your 15k healing if 9 of it was self-healing

Too many Moira players think they’re carrying with their stats while they’re throwing with their gamesense

It’s kind of befitting her character IMHO. As others have mentioned, you have to just embrace it and “be” Moira.

She does what she wants, how she wants, and never has any doubts about it. Everyone is below her, and their tears fuel her.

There was prolly one point in your match that your DPS died when you should have been saving them from a 1v3

This numbers are inflated by self-healing. I get that a good Moira can do a lot of difference, and I don’t really hate Moira, but stat board is a bad place to go off the impact she causes. A DPS Moira full on on the enemy backlines will have high healing in the board, doesn’t mean she’s healing her team much.

True. No other support self heals. Only Moira. And, given that she has 600 hp, she usually heals herself a ton. Just like Hog.

The idea that a DPS Moira is also putting up substantial healing numbers just through her (very limited) self-heal to her (very small) health pool is stupid. You can tell when a Moira is only dps-ing because her healing number is very low. In order to heal, you need to lose hp, and a Moira who is backline DPSing has a small number to heal before being dead.

Though, this is all besides the point because the scoreboard metrics are strictly for those who have a simplistic understanding of the game.

It’s been like this since her release. I had to actively show people she could solo heal when she first dropped.

People always freaking out and find a scapegoat, and Moira is the easy one to point at. You can get a 6k coal, and keep everyone alive at the same time with it, and you’ll still get met with “heal?” or “Moira dpsing”

i do hate moira… when IM NOT MOIRA

for some reason i always get the moira players that die 10+ times have a just a tad more damage than healing but their damge is like lower than the dps’s

… not when i play her hehe but it confounds me how you can get her wrong. its not like shes hard :wink:

I mostly see in-game hate for Sombra. Sometimes Wrecking Ball, Zarya (if QP), Lifeweaver (if comp) and of course Mercy pocket e-daters.

I personally hate playing against D.Va and Doomfist, but I keep it to myself… It would just fuel a Doomfist player.

DPS-Moira gets instant hate, but I don’t see a normal one getting any?

I hate Moira for the following reasons:

1 ) Launches RNG damage orb that just happens to continue trailing around a person and melting their health away.

2 ) Biotic damage grasp somehow violates all video game physics and clips through walls and boundaries somehow and still manages to have stupidly absurd range, all the while applying damage to a player that has clearly broken Line of Sight.

3 ) Blinks away like a coward, 1v1 someone’s and then launches a biotic healing orb, thus making Moira a Raidboss.
