No, you wouldnât.
The point being made in this thread is that Moira has lock on. But she doesnât.
Then why are you in this thread? This statement almost makes it sound like you agree that the OP is wrong, in which case, why are you defending them against all the people telling them that theyâre wrong?
That statement is making 3 claims;
Scatter Arrow was hitscan
Scatter Arrow could 1 shot most tanks
The previous 2 facts comnbined make the ability unfair/broken.
The first claim is objectively wrong. And the second is objectively wrong. I imagine theyâd have plenty of people telling them so.
The third should then be nullified, as itâs based on the first 2 being true (but theyâre not), however there would likely still be discussion about whether the ability is broken or not.
This thread makes 1 claim;
Moiraâs right click has a lock on mechanic.
This is objectively wrong. Thereâs nothing else to talk about here. OP made 1 claim. OP was wrong. Thatâs it. They didnât say that the lock on Mechanic made her OP, in fact, they even said that they donât mind the way her right click works, but was adamant that it locks on.

ok, look do you WANT to talk about her beam and why it is like it is?
Because it was designed with a VERY specific purpose in mind, and THAT drives why it acts like it does.
Not only that, but to acheive what it was designed to do, it HAS to act like it does.
I donât really care about her beam, but why exactly to players need to have such a forgiving hitbox to deal with mobility?
It sounds to me like it was designed a crutch for bad players to do well. A good player could easily hit a Genji regardless of his mobility (especially with how it makes him easier to hit).
Again, I donât care that she has a forgiving hitbox. I just think that âdealing with mobilityâ isnât the best reason someone could give for her having it.
She was designed to counter dive, a problem at Masters and GM.
She was NOT designed to as a crutch. No one could stop mobility at the highest of ranks. They were not bad players.
Brigitte was ALSO designed to counter dive, she was ALSO designed for the highest level of play.
The GMs had no answer to Genji / Tracer.
Moira stopped Genji to some degree but didnât stop Tracer at all.
Moira was their first attempt, when it failed Brigitte had to be created.
But make NO mistake, Dive was not a problem at low ranks. She was not built because low ranked players couldnât hit the broad side of a barn.
Yes? Try it with zarya, hold down left click (well not forever because she has ammo) and you can move target to target by just using a mouse. ofc zaryaâs hitbox is more âobviousâ due to it being practically the same as her animation in comparison to moiraâs larger and âinvisibleâ hitbox
Because the moment Moira came out, Tracer was the better pick, as Moira didnât stop Tracer.
It ENDED when Tracer couldnât be fielded.
They were strong as a team, but, the nerfs to them didnât stop it.
It ended when Tracer was countered, and BEFORE Goats arrived.
There was a period between, where it looked like double sniper was going to work.
But the point was, Say you have a hard to hit hero - like Genji. and you want a counter.
You can EITHER give you CC, OR make the attack very easy to hit with - like AOE.
You donât want it to be crazy strong against non mobility heroes, but hey, they all have low health, so, it doesnât have to do a lot.
If you combine it with some self sustain, and a literal AOE attack to go with it, then you have a non CC counter to mobility, AND dive was ALL about mobility.
Because it doesnât do a lot of damage, the rest of the cast will be fine.
Not a cruch, but designed for a game style at the highest of ranks.
I reviewed the same game again with replay. I have better evidence that lock on still exists with Moiraâs purple beam. Watch the video and ask yourself "why is she drawing essence while Sigma is above her? 
Haha she is sooo busted

So she has Lock-On. And what is busted? 50dps lock-on moira is normal.
It even is written in the wiki page
Umm no, if you 180 while using blood beam it wonât track, if you 180 using mercy beam it stays, there is a clear difference.

that wasnât lock on.
that moira was right in front of the sigma literally touching him and her beam has a big hitbox.
her beam would be lock on if it stayed locked on after you turn about 95 degrees from distance.

it also can only hit one person at a time

LEAVE. MOIRA. ALONE.
You need to calm down!
You can do that with Sym, Zarya, Sombra, Tracer, SoldierâŚ
Well⌠the only difference is that she needs to right click while the other have to left click
Can Moira be a Dementor for Halloween?
Yes pls. Worth 100$ for me

And to all the people asking why we are âstubbornâ and say that she doesnât have lock-on⌠itâs not because we say she needs aim (I think everyone agrees that she needs less aim than other heroes), itâs because it is a big misconception and some people may want to help others unsterstand it, so they donât mix it up with other mechanics.
Because thatâs how beamâs work due to latency and stuff. Itâs more obvious now due to the beam fix:
But OPâs argument is also semantics.
Lock-on or not, Moira is nonsense and needs to be fixed.
Also⌠yikes yâall are really triggered by calling it a lock-on. Like overly defensive about it. Itâs obvious thatâs because you know how stupidly broken her succ is.
