Moira is too STRONG

Moira shouldn’t a support. In my last 10 games with my friend (who played Moira) we compared statistics. On 9/10 he had golden kills. This situation isn’t adequate to the tier in which the character was assigned. It makes no sense when her ball can run around the whole map causing massive damage, and her beam range is also too large. The character is not balanced compared to other healers. Moira healing a lot, but she got too much damage and very hard to counter.

Sorry for my English.

Except golden elims don’t mean anything. Moira is great at tickling people, but you get an Elimination if you did 1 damage to the target, or you did 300.

Moira’s damage orb is 200 damage divided among however enemies it affects. (For example, if the orb hits 4 people, it will do 50 damage between each of them). Also consider that Moira herself offers no extra utility like the other healers do (discord, resurrect, anti-heal, speed boost) which is why it is necessary for her to have overinflated damage and health stats at times. Your English was fine.

Like others said, it does 50 DPS and splits itself between all affected players for a maximum of 200 DPS. If your entire team soaked it, you’d take roughly 35 damage each which is a trivial amount.

The design of Moira is to punish lone-wolf players. Her damage is low, but consistent, allowing her to punish people isolated from their healers, but if she fights someone being healed, then she has effectively no damage since she doesn’t have the throughput to burn through damage unlike heroes like Zen or just DPS in general.

I just don’t like her in DM, she feels so stifling. Well alright i don’t like her in qp or comp either. I just don’t like the character altogether honestly.

I’m not telling about 1v1, but at 1v1 she sucks. I know.

reaper…she has a huge head hitbox…i play moira…if i see reaper, roadhog or if i see Dva actively eating my orbs, i’m switching to Anna

Stop trying to play Pokemon with the orbs and running after it to catch all the damage.

A single damage ball should do no more than 50 damage if you are aware of it, 70 if you caught you off guard.

Moira can get gold medals just like a Winston or Torb can-- by tickling a lot of heroes with basic damage. It’s no necessary indicator of the hero being OP.

The orbs can only hit two people at once. So both targets can only take a maximum of 100 but still it’s easy to dodge them even if you take a small amount of damage.

The ball can only do a max of 200 hp over a period of 4 seconds, it moves pretty slowly and is easy to both see and hear coming. Once you know a Moira is on the enemy team, good situational awareness prevents most deaths and damage from the orb and a DVA counter can pretty much ruin her effectiveness. I don’t think having gold elims means much of anything when the ball just needs to brush by someone to count as an elim if someone else finishes off that hero.

My best advice if it’s giving you that much trouble, besides having a DVA on the team, is to head into the direction the ball is coming from to escape from its grasp the quickest. I see a lot of people trying to back away from or side-step it but this only makes it latch onto you for longer.

Yes, maybe i decribe it not well, for example. I think that Moira is much more dps than healer. She can flank and be focused on one character like enemy heal and just kill it in few seconds. Which of healers can make that with no aim skills?

Limit on required characters, whatever you know what I mean. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m playing D.Va much, but sometimes I can’t eat that ball. Did I make something wrong or it’s imposible sometimes?

I mean you’d be wrong, considering that every aspect of Moira’s kit is to emphasize healing over dealing damage.

If you’ve got a Moira flanking and killing people, then that’s poor teamwork on the side of the enemy Supports.
