i dont think they should change moira at all, shes fine as she is. she never really had aiming mechanics why try to force that on her now? her damage is meh its not like shes owning everyone. if she kills someone its because they got too aggressive or overextended. if she kills by flanking that means the enemy team isnt aware of whats going on and not protecting their backline (usually overextending to the enemy spawn after a team kill or something, sigh). in other words… she is fine

Uh, yes you do. I’d play Moira again. Your beam won’t really stick unless you are basically on the hitbox.

I can understand why some people would, but it’s important to note that although Moira’s skill floor is very low, her ceiling is also low. So raising her skill floor without raising her skill ceiling doesn’t make much sense.

We’d need to consider compensation buffs to help her make bigger plays and have higher impact.

I think OP means that Moira generally doesn’t take any aim so they want her aim to be like Symmetra’s right now

did you just choose to ignore the small print lol

Yea it’s not as wide as it used to be but even after the 37% reduction your crosshair still only needs to be in vicinity of the target

lol such exaggeration

Lol it’s auto aim. Literally go in the training ground stand next to the tracer bot, face the same direction as her and right click. The beam literally bends 180 degrees and hits the tracer lmao.

Is this a 2017 nerf Moira thread that someone bumped?

Sometimes I feel like people won’t be happy until they take Moira’s biotic grasp and replace it with Soldier 76’s rifle because she’s “unskilled” and “too easy”

wow I can do the same thing with ZARYA!

lmao so what is your point?

wow look at this being able to heal the bot as Ana without even looking

jeez it’s almost as if using point blank range as “proof” is inconsistent

I don’t understand how people still get so pressed over Moira’s beam. It’s a measly 50 DPS, the lowest damage output of every single hero. Numerically, she loses every single 1v1 against a competent DPS. If they did make her aim as intensive as Sym’s then they’d need to buff the beam accordingly. But maybe they should do that, just so that flanker mains with trash positioning and game sense can cry even harder over not being able to win the skill check.

Yeah they should do that. Ez to hit low damage abilities are good for the AI, not for human. Dunno what’s Blizz thinks(They think supps couldn’t aim?), but making it aim-intensive and better damage would be far better IMO.

Not really, however I do think she should have offsetting resource containers, where damage must be filled by healing and healing filled by damage. Ive never liked the halfsies approach they took while not subjecting her to reloading

No. The tradeoff for the beam being easy to hit is its low damage. If it had to be aimed, the damage would have to be buffed, which would be too op with her damage orb.

Op-ness can be adjusted easily by how much damage is buffed. Aim-intensive and higher reward is far better to differentiate skill.

Her accuracy is better now IMO.

I was happy when they reduced it, it honestly buffed her. It doesn’t go on the wrong target as often anymore, and rewards tracking more. Before, idk how many times I could have someone right next to death and have it move to a stupid box, or wrong enemy. Problem with Moira’s beam, it can only damage 1 target at a time. Not 2 or more like a thick zarya beam

Even with that nerf it is a very easy weapon to have high accuracy with. Not saying she needs changes, but it’s still very forgiving.
