Why Moira healing through barriers hasn't been fixed yet?

General Discussion

It’s because Bridgette hasn’t been released yet.

Once she comes out they will nerf Moira and then Bridgette will be the new flavour-of-the-month(s) character.

Look for Moira nerfs to come in the middle of Season 10. Will it make sense to push them through in the middle of the competitive season? No, but that didn’t stop Blizzard from nerfing Mercy in the middle of last season.

Brigitte is taken aback by this statement.

Oh, alright. Still the second lowest DPS in the game.

This change will probably cause an uproar, but I understand the reasoning. Single target healing (Mercy, Zen, and Brig’s packs) always go through barriers while AoE (Lucio and Zen’s ult) don’t go through barrier.

Overall I don’t understand how they can code in Mei’s new spray and not have Moira’s heal work exactly the same way.

Doesn’t matter. 6.5k is not “only healer”. I’m not even discussing her damage. I’m just saying that people saying “she’s a pure healer she should heal through barriers” -> no, not really.

Yeah but She is a main Healer, so they need to make her healing consistent. The only main Healer that can’t heal through barrier is Ana but because She has projectiles for healing

Brigitte does ~70 dps. Mei’s primary actually has the lowest dps at 45.

Ana is single target, but don’t go through barriers because they are projectiles, and if i Remember correctly Mercy healing in valkyrie go through barriers (and It’s AOE)

No ,it won’t.

It effects every other healer and they’re completely fine (minus maybe ana, but that’s because she’s a sniper)

Walk through the barrier or throw a healing orb or tell your teammates to walk out of the barrier.

The only healer in the game who can heal through shields is Mercy (and bugged Moira).

If Moira can AoE heal through shields, then so should Lucio and Zen.

Symmetra’s turret does like 25.5 dps (on console) and 30 dps on pc. Way worse imo.

Mercy’s chain heal treats it as multiple individual beams rather than simply being an AoE, but I understand how this still makes it seem inconsistent.

Ana’s projectiles can also do damage, so that explains that.

Honestly, Moira’s orb and Coalescence give her plenty of options as it is, and the linger effect of her spray is unique to her. I think the bug fix will make her fine since she’s still a strong healer.

Moira’s other utility is considered damage output. The healing through barriers has already been confirmed to be a bug that will be fixed, and it should be.

Yeah but with that stats do you see how actually if this damage is effective or not? The answer is no and also with Moira stats you see that her solo kills are really low

It’s still damage. It puts pressure onto enemy healers.

stats you see that her solo kills are really low

Yes, I am sure that a support should have significant number of solo kills /s

6.5k damage per game is not insignificant for someone who also heals almost 11k per game. It still puts pressure onto enemy healers since that damage needs to be healed away. So, yeah. It should be counted.
