title…
I can’t count the number of times where or anyone needed heals and the heals were too busy shooting at ppl…I communicate that I need heals I get ignored…I press X to voice line that I need heals they’re not paying attention.
Moira’s throwing out dmg orbs has become one of my biggest if not biggest pet peeve in this game…I main Moira and NEVER throw out dmg orbs during team fights…not even once. Why do you Moiras think you’re dps you’re not…HEAL
Not balancing orbs is bad. Moira is all about balance, you need to both damage and heal. If you don’t you’ll never do as well as moira’s who can. My biggest suggestion is try not to take damage and be aware of your health pack locations. If this is how people in your rank play, you just have to deal with it.
I agree that the skill level of healers has gone down significantly in the past two seasons.
Why that is? I don’t know. I assume it’s because healers aren’t played that much, and when people have to play them, they don’t know the in’s and out’s of that particular healer.
She has them for a reason. At start of engagements she can rack up free charge. They can secure kills on low hp targets that are runninv away. Maybe you should try and take a bit less damage.
switch to soilder bastion or hog
Probably because people are trying to follow the meta and mercy isn’t as strong as she used to be. Moira can be tempted to DPS, Ana isnt something almost anyone in gold can play effectively, and Mercy isn’t as good.
Below I dunno say high plat she is an off healer at best. Often times feels like a solo healer if she is my backup. I’ve outhealed Ana’s on Roadhog even. They miss every shot and their nades are wasted keeping themselves up not burst healing.
Saving nade for yourself is pretty often a safe call. It really depends on the scenario, not to mention we have Nano for burst healing if need be. I’d rather nano to burst heal and keep myself alive than die with Nano and use nade to heal
Sorry but this just means you’re a bad Moira. Not only that, you use your false perception of how a character is played to judge other people on how they play the same character.
The problem is power creep, too much damage being dished out in such a short amount of time that even 2 main healers have trouble keeping up.
It’s the opposite; we’ve had a massive heal creep. The lowering of Mercy’s healing is likely what OP means by heals have worsened as Mercy can no longer effortlessly keep a team up.
If I’m the only hitscan in the team you bet I’m going to focus their Pharah down as Ana as much as possible, because I KNOW I’m her priority target whether I do it or not.
oh really…so when people are dying and you deplete your resources and people are still dying you throw out dmg orbs?
and you tell me my perception of the character is false? People like you are part of the reason why teams don’t win team fights. Tunnel vision damage when your ROLE is a support.
There are instances when using a damage orb is logical and safer but not during team fights when people need heals.
lol u meeting alot of battle mercies or something? the issue sounds like mainly a moria thing, i am sure once ppl realize mercy is back and stronger than ever, there will be one in every game ![:smiley:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")
Well
when I got dmg or tank and we have a Moira/ana for example they are focusing damage instead of providing heals. Myself and my team mates are often relying on health packs which is fine but when you have a healer beside you and you’re asking for heals and they’re scoping to kill someone and you end up dying then it’s a healing problem. This is why I choose to heal because I know what’s required of me…to keep my tanks and dps up so they can output damage and protect the team.
Believe it or not yes I’ve come across 1 too many battle Mercy’s. I’ve only come across a very small handful of people who are actually really good supports. Majority I’ve come across have no clue, no spatial awareness and are too worried about chasing people down than keeping people topped up. IDK maybe I’m just getting unlucky this season because this is the worst I’ve seen it in terms of healing, idk about the rest of you
I basically stopped playing dps for this reason and if I do I’m tracer, sombra, soldier. I don’t trust my healers and no matter how close I am to them as tracer or soldier. I’m not getting healed.
I play healers now and I heal everyone dps or tank and it helps us win.
This is the exact type of scenario that kept me from getting Platinum at least half a dozen times. I was at 2496 and I got a DPS healer with poor priorities.
It’s always a Lucio wallrunning and speed boosting schmuck who is tryting to get boop kills, an Ana who is playing hitscan against Genjis Pharrahs and Sombras, or its a Zenyatta who cant even throw an orb on people and Brigs who LOS themselves and are chasing low health players around corners and intoi side rooms.

If a player wants to be DPS then they need to pick a DPS hero. Moira should only throw orbs at low health players. Not into a team fight where her team is. if she wants to do some damage too, then she needs to right click. Shields are vulnerable to her right click. Right click refills heal recourse, damage orb doesn’t.
I think what Blizzard can do to prevent healers from trying to DPS is to lower their damage output and make them MORE reliant on tanks and healers for protection. That will emphasize the need for teamwork and coordination. Dont cripple them obviously. I jjust dont see why Ana needs to be able to 3 shot anything. Its kind of ridiculous when their DPS is comparable to other DPS.
Yes. There’s a reason why I’m 3 tiers higher than you and there’s a reason why you are where you are. Because I know what I’m doing and you don’t. Moira is not about mechanical skill but all about choices. Ones which you make poorly and refuse to admit that you do.
massive heal creep? healers have barely been changed besides ana and mercy switching places. not to mention you try to imply 60 hps being OP, which is kind of wrong right off the bat.
When I play Moira I will watch which way a team fight is going before I decide which orb to throw, if we are winning I will throw a purple to debuff the enemy, if we are slipping I will throw a yellow to buff my team.
It’s the same with grasp. Sometimes it’s better to help kill the enemy and then top up the team, healing away damage just drags it out and increases the chances of my team melting.
Also remember that Moira’s self heal comes from life steal, if you’re riding her as a solo healer, don’t be mad if she’s dealing some damage.
How is it possible you play her and don’t know this stuff?
