Moira's basic attack

I’m curious how you managed to get to 5243 posts and still have an attitude like that.

it takes 4 seconds of perfect aim for her to kill a 200 health her that is getting 0 healing… and it isn’t auto aim, its just a large hitbox with a special animation.

You would have to be truly terrible at shooters to miss with this attack, therefore it’s practically auto aim. Everyone who comments on that is just pulling hairs.

you’d have to be truly terrible at shooters to not be able to kill or scare off a moira in, at minimum, 4 seconds of her using her “auto aim attack”. Skill issue.

Absolute BS and you know it.

lol, its 50 dps, she might as well be quick meleeing you to death.

You’re not fooling anyone if you’re trying to convince people you’ve never been killed by a Moira.

i’ve been killed by a moira plenty of times. Doesn’t mean she needs nerfs.

So only your opinion matters then? Gotcha.

Lol? there’s plenty of people in here saying the same thing I am… and what? only your opinion matters? you’re angrily dismissing anyone that doesn’t need over 4 seconds to get a single kill.
I’d be fine with them tightening the hitbox on her attack if she gets to do some real damage, they already nerfed it once with no compensation. I, unlike you apparently, can aim fairly well so I would see it as a buff.

Plenty of people agree with me, too. And?

sorry i can get a kill in less than 4 seconds I guess. I don’t know what to tell you.

If Moira is killing you on the regular in 1v1, it means she’s a better player than you in most cases.

She has the tools to persist and be annoying, but to get kills reliably she needs to latch on to targets taking damage from other sources.

Above a certain level of play, the only reason to take duels with her is to waste someone’s time.

To be fair, 50 damage is 4 seconds before she kills you. Additionally, Moira is also regenerating health while doing that 50 damage per second. So, unless you can outpace that healing and kill her faster than the 4 seconds she latches onto you from 20 meters away, it can be challenging for less skilled players.

It can be challenging, but is way more than achievable considering she does almost a quarter of Soldier’s damage before headshots

Dude if you can’t kill someone in 4 seconds, that’s not a moira problem.

The extra condition appears to be view angle, meaning the beam will prioritize targets a smaller angle from the reticle, regardless of distance. It’s probably a necessity, allowing players with more precise tracking better control over their targets. So I believe you’re both correct.

That’s a tight edge case. To use an edge case to describe the beam mechanics remains misleading. Here was the original:

Thing is it does produce a pillbox like that. With possibly an edge case for rare closely overlapping case.

Yeah I can certainly understand it being called an edge case. In a pure duel the angle wouldn’t be relevant at all. In a team fight, I’d imagine it becomes more pertinent as enemy capsules overlap more frequently. It’s pretty interesting either way.

Ofc Moira is not the problem in this case. She’s the solution. A friend of mine has 29% accuracy with cassidy, but she can play Moira and have fun killing better cassidy.
