They are going to powershift Moira! Whatever shall we do?!
《INB4 the forums get flooded with “what you get” topics, the same people will be back because they will still be getting Eliminated by her》

She’s so one dimensional already I don’t even know how they’d power shift her
Like Illari less damage for more healing, ok. Moira’s damage is already kinda low and she already heals a lot.
Maybe fade nerfs?

I am actually relatively scared. Moira is the only support I can play with Sombra as she is. I wish I was being facetious, but seriously… As much as I love Lucio, I hate it when she hacks my mp3 player.

yea it will be another buff to dive heroes with a nerf to moira’s damage or being able to punish them. support numbers may drop and of course dps queue times will increase
these devs man…before season 9 it was perfect. dps should be the weakest role imo

Numbers changes won’t do anything
That’s neither what she needs balance wise nor the thing that annoys people about her

Inb4 they just nerf her damage from 65 to 60 and buff her heal from 70 to 75
Please no. Anything but that. Make her Orbs a 10 second cooldown again, if you must

A character that does not require aim to deal consistent damage at short / mid ranges with a short CD escape does deserve some scrutiny.

At Bronze it really is hit or miss with the Sombras and so often I get more value in those games when I switch to Moira. I have no hope for the rework. They are determined to keep the pressure up on backline survival play for aome reason.

Depends on the number being changed and by how much. If that fade CD gets raised from its current value to 15+ sec, we’re going to hear some serious moaning.
I’m predicting
Grasp (heal) buffed HoT
Grasp (damage) nerfed to 50-55 DPS
Orb Damage/Heal pools increased (values upon orb contact remain the same)
Fade nerfed to add 3-4 seconds to cooldown
And she’ll STILL outplay those that are frustrated by her now.

Moira going to get shifted to be yet another healbot.
Funny part is, the same people screeching about her doing too much damage will be screeching in season 10 that she does too much healing and nothing dies. They still get outplayed by Moira, just for different reasons.

The only way that changes is if Blizz reworks Moira’s life drain from a target-lock to a linear beam like Sym. Sym used to have a target locking beam as well, so there is precedent for a beam rework.
I am really looking forward to seeing the changes honestly. Hopefully they don’t gut fade liek they did with those horrible experimental card reworks
Anyone who straight up loses to her beam just deserves it. I don’t think they’ll change her beam as it takes bronze level play to lose duels on a consistent basis to her.

Moira does not even have to worry about aiming, only dodging. She does excellent clean-up work on low-health targets that were previously damaged since fade has such a low CD. I’m sure her performance metrics will dictate what happens to her kit next.

Oh wow, no one saw this coming.
It is not like the season with moira mythic just ended.

Can you be more specific?
This is very (no pun intended) in accurate. Unlike Sym beam use to be she has to maintain a connection and in order to do that she has to aim.
Is it the hardest thing to land? No. But let’s not pretend it requires no aim at all.
Yup, I don’t see a problem with that. Winston has a similar capability. He has a low CD mobility and a weapon that has a lower end aim requirement. Not to mention his punctures barriers and other defensives.
Yet no one has a problem with him. Interesting.

Winston’s Tesla Cannon only locks on close targets. Moira’s beam can reach Phara in flight.
I’m so glad I swapped off maining Moira. She seems to always be unfairly targeted when people forget she brings no utility.
