Moira is gatekeeping new players from enjoying Overwatch2

I personally think everything about Moira needs to be reworked. And I mean, literally, everything. This is coming from a Tracer main, so I’ll be biased about what I’m about to say, of course, but whether you think she fits well into the game or not, I can almost assure you that she will be changed, hopefully soon and for all parties to be satisfied. No one, and I mean no one, enjoys Moira’s mechanics and how she can just look in the general direction of a player and throw a damage orb that just waltzes by you and chips away at your health, and how did anyone honestly believe, even for a second, that a support should have the ability to shoot a 30m beam across the map while doing insane healing and pretty consistent damage on top of gaining ridiculous survivability to be OK, and don’t even get me started on her suck. I really don’t think the Overwatch team should have left her kit as it was in Overwatch1. She’s extremely repetitive to play against for new players, especially ones who are not as mechanically gifted as others. Her being so ridiculous made some of my friends, whom I recently encouraged to play Overwatch2, not want to play the game anymore, which just screams to me that she’s too problematic and needs changing ASAP.

Lol, nice bait. Moira is the only support that isn’t a free kill for flankers. It’s obvious that’s why you hate her. Make up whatever excuses you want, but in truth, you just want support to be free kills

Why wouldn’t you want the enemy support to be free kills. Tf lmaoo

There are so many players who enjoy her.

Usually that’s her own death sentence when she does this at a fresh target in a duel in close range.

But the healing is the suck or do you mean her normal healing?

But don’t new players also get matched against Moiras who don’t know how to manage their cooldowns and position themselves properly?
(Dpa Moiras). If it’s easier overcome that than getting better at aiming, you would have something to train on.
Just start facing Moiras more often, you will learn how to fight her.
And if you play the hero you hate yourself, you will also get a better understanding of them, too (a feeling for their cooldown time for example… or her range or when she engages).

Is she really? I don’t think she does. Moira is an easier way to learn the game mechanics like Mercy, without an instant death. She’s the character I personally change to as well when no one peels for me and I have to take care of myself.

Moira isn’t as easy as people claim she is, she is definitely annoying, but she’s not that strong anymore. I’m not saying I’ve never been annoyed at the amount of times I’ve died at the hands of a Moira orb, but I understand it. At this point she’s almost a necessity for supports to stay alive, because Tracers and Genji’s are just running wild and free. THAT is just as annoying for new players as well as old players as a Moira running around doing damage.

The problem with this entire statement though, is that Moira is the ONLY support that DOES fit into this deathmatch style all dive meta OW2 is.

She’s a skill check to players thinking this is a typical FPS.

What you want to make starting supports less fun?

Next you’ll start complaining about Lucio’s flanking and booping you off the map.

I’d be fine nerfing her damage and healing if she got more utility to her kit. Otherwise she’s fine as is.

Hi, Moira main here. She’s probably my favorite support since she is one of the few supports with survivability instead of just being a free kill for dps.

Line of sight is all u need to do or get her out of position and she’s easy to take down since she can’t fade while channeling ult.

Couldn’t tell.

Go the other direction the orb is traveling instead of being a graduate of the Promethean School of Running Away From Things or soak it with a teammate. Should be easy as a tracer to blink away from it, especially since it doesn’t home in on people.

Learn how to play against and counter her instead of just whining about her being OP and hoping for a nerf. There’s a decent amount of ways to counter a Moira, especially if ur a tank.

U should easily be outdpsing her altfire and its healing as a tracer, especially if ur landing crits on her.

Moira’s main issue right now is that her leech and passive stack and that here fade is long enough to trigger the passive allowing her to regain lots of health before the other player did a 180.
Moira can be 1 HP in a 1v1 with McCree but if he has to reload by the time he has reloaded moira is full HP again because of leech and passive stacking, worst is if she also use healing orb.

Brigg has the same issue where if she shields long enough her passive will trigger with her AOE healing and if DPS has to reload you can be sure she will be full HP by the time you are done while Mercy, Zen, Kiriko and ana do not have this multi layerd selfhealing.

The healer passive should not have been applied to healers who have leech or other AOE self heal (ana nade not included)

Of course it is lmao

Used to be worse when the passive triggered 1 sec after out of combat.

You lost me at “ridiculous survivability”

Moira gets one Fade. Tracer has 3. Plus a recall.

How are you struggling when mathematically the matchup is in your favor?

Tell me you need to practice without telling me you need to practice.

The only thing that needs rework is her Damge Orb. Now that there is one less Tank in the game it has way more chances to randomly kill people

Moira is good but not enough to warrant a nerf of any sort. Just learn how to kill her it’s definitely possible. Supports are at the worst spot and least carry potential in the game rn if you have bad dps and bad tank so having a stronger healer is good for those who need to pick up some damage slack.
