They need some excuse to explain why getting killed by a paltry 50 DPS wasnât their own fault.
yeah itâs a massive hitbox beam, that takes little to no mechanics to use.
You can bodyblock and evade a beam, you cannot do that to a lock-on. There is a functional difference, and misinforming people because your salty just leads to lower quality teammates.
Moiraâs beam is easy, braindead, big, etc. Plenty of other words to use without spreading misinformation.
People saying Moria has lock on are just people trying to find ways to prove Moira is some type of low skill hero.
No itâs more or less to stop the spread of misinformation. Thatâs really all there is to it.
Also, nobody is disagreeing sheâs easy to aim with. Sheâs a pretty straightforward hero.
Only her Orb has a lock on but it doesnât really matter if her primary fire has a lock on or not, the hitbox size of that thing is so huge that you might as well say lock on. You can be a whole character off and still hit your target but thatâs what Moira mains donât like to hear. They want (you) to believe you need aim to play Moira.
Sheâs is though. Thereâs nothing wrong with that though. Idk why people get so defensive about that. Like I main Solider. And I admit heâs the easiest dps in the game. When people say he is I donât start commenting (insert nerd voice) âuh actually, if you hold his primary fire down it becomes less accurate, so heâs far harder aim than you expectâ.
Like come on. Moria is easy and her aim is easy. They designed her like that.
She has a lock on in one single case only. And that is she doesnât connect to a cloaked Sombra.
Sombra can walk between a beam target and Moira, and it doesnât hit her.
It doesnât entirely act like a wide beam.
It has the disadvantages you would expect from lockon with none of the advantages.
Itâs a soft lock on.
Yes Moira is easy to play, but we need to be factual about it
Also I find Reaper and Pharah far, far easier to play than Soldier.
lol
How exactly am i spreading misinformation here? I know that itâs not a lock on and i said exactly that.
In most cases you wonât be body blocking unless youâre a tank. And if you are your hitbox will be big enough to get the soft lock on attached to you. So basically thereâs close no no difference. People just donât like the idea of being called bad for playing a lock on
A soft lock isnât interrupted when you bodyblock unless itâs been sometime. Lock-ons do not detach so easily. The difference is the time and detach requirements. A soft lock is a shorter amount of time. Hers is instantaneous.
And I meant a general you, though you defending people spreading misinformation isnât much better.
There are many, many other things to call it. Iâm sick of watching teammates fail to body block for low health allies against her, giving her a free kill, while reading about how she has lock-on.
She doesnât. Iâll never understand this obsession with lying about Moira by some people. Its not like itâs hard to call her braindead instead.
They would like people who are going to complain about a hero have the basics right.
It is like hearing people complain that widow one shots people through shields.
Or that reducing spread on a heroes fire is a nerf.
This is probably gonna surprise you, but the reason why people arenât body blocking isnât because they think that itâs a lock on. Most people just donât body block in general.
What?
I wish we could actually get a developer to confirm it so people will shut up saying its any kind of lock on.
Exactly. That reaction is my point.
I actually have had teammates that will bodyblock for things like D.va missiles, but almost never for Moira. Hell I see a lot of Roadhogs not do it while blocking for literally everything else.
And if you think that people spreading lies that specifically tells people such a thing is pointless has no impact on why thatâs the case, then there is nothing more to say.
Itâs not a lock-on, but it doesnât require any semblance of tracking skill either.
âPaltryâ 50 DPS thatâs impossible to miss and also heals herself for 30 HPS*
Itâs so generous that it can be mistaken as lock on.
It really doesnât matter if itâs lock on or not. By all accounts you could call that a soft lock on.
