Support Changes Part 4

This is the final post before sending the complete set–intended for Wednesday. This post will be focusing on Moira and Zenyatta adjustments, so here goes:

Moira
An immoral geneticist whose unprecedented methods make her allies feel secure, and her enemies wary of when she’ll strike.

Biotic Grasp (Primary Fire)
Lingering healing reduced from 65 to 55
Biotic Grasp (Secondary Fire)
Now has its own gauge that replenishes itself after a short amount of time.
Ammo: 180 biotic energy
Ammo usage: 20 biotic energy per second
• Recharges 15 biotic energy per second (unlike the Primary Fire, this one has no alternate way to hasten the recharge)
Biotic Orb
Instead of sending out a bouncing sphere, the ability now remains in the palm of Moira’s hand as it latches onto nearby allies or enemies.

Maximum range: 6 meters (in a cone-shape in front of her; for both orbs)
• During the ability’s duration, Moira can use the alternate fire of the orb not selected (ex. Moira can use her secondary fire while using the healing orb)
New Passive: Biological Progress
Moira harvests the biotic energy of fallen players to further improve the capabilities of her Biotic Grasp temporarily.
Rate of Fire: +30%
Duration: 3 seconds
• Moira must be within 4 meters of the fallen player in order for the ability to take effect (passive automatically consumes the biotic energy when near it)
• The biotic energy of fallen players lasts 2 seconds, or until Moira consumes them
• Collecting multiple refreshes the duration

Zenyatta
A pacifistic monk whose strange teachings somehow set allies at ease, and makes enemies tense.

General
Zenayatta can now apply 2 of the same orb (2 OoH, 2 OoD, 1 OoH + 1 OoD)
New Passive: Teaching of Conscious
Zenyatta gains new experiences from applying an Orb of Harmony onto his ally, and/or an Orb of Discord onto his enemy.
Orb of Harmony: grants Zenyatta 15 healing per second
Orb of Discord: grants Zenyatta +15% damage resistance
• Orb must be on an ally or enemy in order for the passive to take effect
•Having multiple of the same Orb out will not increase the passive’s effects

So what do you think, is there anything that causes concern? If so, please respond. As said at the beginning, I will be making a complete post of all of the changes on Wednesday, with some changes from the comments of the other posts being implemented.

Well ok

I don’t care tbh. Just don’t get angry if Moira’s out of both meters and stares at you while crit

O_o

Um ok?..

I don’t even have words for this

Is this for pve?

Ok

I really don’t know how I feel

If I could test it, I could better sum up my feelings.

Sigh, of course Moira gets changed to be weaker but Ana gets to remain a must-pick in anything above Platinum.

I guess being a Moira main when Ana is OP just means I should accept being 3.9k despite being 4.4k for over 2 years.

I had this idea no long ago…
What if orb instead of flying around would be staying in place, it would be a lot better at zoning and now it will be a lot easier for allies to get healed by it.
(also make it so it can be deployed from long range as well (like 20m or something))

Tbh, I think the Moira changes are a bit much.
Imo, reduce her damage to 35, and add another layer to the beam that requires a direct hit, and that one does 75 dps.
Resource regen remains the same.

That actually sounds better than what I had. From the way you described it, it reminds me of Reyna’s Leer in Valorant (minus near-sighting). This would probably make her a better choice for compositions that require someone to temporarily lockdown an area.

Yeah it is a simulator concept, I find it pretty funny that I thought about this idea about a week before she was release.

This can be used as a deploy-able “health-pack” and it can also be great at finishing low hp enemies that are trying to get away trough a choke.

Also

  • make it so it is has a longer duration (15s mb)
  • make it so both healing and damage can be up at the same time
  • making it cancel-able would be great
  • 5-7s cooldown (cooldown starts only when it get canceled or that the duration ends)

Not a fan of moira changes but really like the zen ones, maybe lower it to 10 though.

Actually, I consider Moira the second best Main healer (I balanced healing based on how easy or difficult it is to do so–with Ana having to be a bit more accurate).
As for Moira’s changes, most of it is actually beneficial to her (she can still multi-task between damage and healing, while also being able to do so slightly faster). I have seen other comments addressing this, so I’ll have to revise parts of her for the final post.
