Why the Moira nerf?

I thought the point of coalescence was that it was a much more lackluster support Ult with the upside of having a fast charge rate.

Why did they give Moira this nerf but for bap they literally increASED HIS EXO BOOT CHARGE TIME BY 0.3 SECONDS ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHO EVEN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BOOTS—

At this point I think devs don’t even know what they’re doing and it shows :roll_eyes:

We thought it was a wonderful idea to leave cowboy as the best character and nerf the worst support

Seriously…what? Her fast building ultimate in no way made her overpowered. She practically needs it due to her mediocre heals.

I hate it when they add on these nerfs that weren’t tested on the experimental card so we aren’t given the chance to tell them how terrible it is before it’s pushed live.

Why does she need this nerf? She’s the worst support right now. The “compensation” buff isn’t even good and I’d rather they left her alone instead of outright nerf her.

Excuse me, can someone tell me when she was nerfed? I literally played her today and she was fine?

Like 4 hrs ago? Idk if that’s exactly right as I haven’t downloaded the update yet

I don’t know how to get a direct link, but try this:

If it doesn’t, here you go:

Many channeled ultimate abilities automatically reload the heroes weapon as they’re locked out from reloading for a short time. The new regeneration rate will refill about half of Moira’s Biotic energy resource over the full duration of Coalescence. This doesn’t fully refill Moira’s energy from empty as it would be unfortunate to lose that portion of her gameplay if players were able to fully cycle between ultimates with healing alone.

Biotic Grasp

  • Resource regeneration is now three times higher while channeling Coalescence

Coalescence

  • Ultimate cost increased by 17%

I didn’t see that coming but whatever, I guess.

They buffed her resource gain, in exchange They needed to nerf her ult charge, with the old cost by the time you ran out of healing you had coalesce. Can’t have both

I’m pissed. This was so unnecessary.

Watching Dallas vs Florida. Now I know why they nerfed Moira and Echo ult charges. Both teams are running them, and they both have their ults EVERY SINGLE TEAM FIGHT. It’s kind of ridiculous.

It’s a pure OWL nerf for both.

I mean even with the -17% her ult is charging like crazy nowadays, considering the buff they gave to her orbs, it wasn’t needed yeah but it’s fine she’ll still charge it like its nothing

They balance based on pro level play. They saw Moira get too much playing time in OWL.

This game is an esport first and foremost. The rest of the actual playerbase is second priority.

Don’t worry echo also got nerfed with 0 complaints thrown on top of it and it too was never on the exp card

Well I mean getting your ult in practically the first 20 seconds of the game in the modern OW era, even if it’s not the best ult, is a bit too much.

Sure the average player may take a bit longer but it’s incentivizing healing orb even more since damage orb doesn’t build ult very quickly, and now it’s even slower.

It’s like they don’t understand high damage and fast Support reaction time= instant ult. Teams are primarily running Echo and Reaper with the Sombra and Tracer bans, so that means high burst damage translates into high healing for Moira, especially in moving deathballs.

I think that was the idea.

She heals more than Ana lol

Moira is considered worse due to lack of utility. she lacks a stun or a life-saving ability, but she’s a main healer.

Moira isn’t useless and I feel like people who whine about Moira will try to make her seem bad in every way; despite her healing quite a damn bit.
