He doesn't have a quick melee lol

I thought about this and figured it might be a bit busted going hammer->melee->hammer->melee. Assuming you could combo them together for faster hammer swings.

Random question for the free weekend... I play on Xbone right now, but I finally got a decent computer, so I was going to give it a try this weekend. I installed the client with the installer and have the Battle-net app already. I should be good to go when it starts, right?

Firestrike as you engage->hammer->melee would shave off a lot of time on killing 200HP squishies.

I actually like that he punches with his off-hand because it's like the ultimate sign of disrespect for the man with the golden glove to say that he can kill you with his regular hand.

Didn't hear about this patch note before:

quote:

Arcade
One of the arcade slots will now change on a daily basis to include a variety of game modes such as Limited Duel, Low Gravity, and Capture the Flag
This is nice - there's been a few weeks where I just skip arcade because I didn't want to play any of the game modes.

Since Moira does super loads of healing zarya seems like she would be pretty good. Fights will go on forever so there will be loads of opportunities to get charged.

Rein also pretty effective if only because the shield blocks her right click so you can starve her heal ray meter and she can't ignore a hammer like she can a tesla cannon.

Punish her aggression with roadhog.

Don't use Winston. Orisa maybe also not the best choice but a gun's better. Dragging separated enemies together just makes it easier for her to spray them all.

Side question: if Lucio doots a mercy using rez on somebody will it interrupt it since she moves too far away to reach? And this means she loses the cd for 30s? If this is right, I'm slamming Lucio super hard anytime I'm up against mercy.

should work that way, yes. casting interrupts if mercy moves herself out of range so i would imagine a good doot would do it

Yeah, I'm really happy about this. I had been wondering whether there's a technical reason for the 5 option limit in arcade, since it's been ages since we've had Capture the Flag available... so that should fix that problem well.

She self-heals with her succ. You'd take forever to kill her and be a sitting duck for other players.

Her M1 healing also cleaves, so Winston can't even get ahead on being able to hit multiple targets at once.

I think there's no technical reason for only having 5 - they just don't want to split queues too much.

moira's fade is a really, really good escape tool and will make her very hard to dive

The more relevant bit is her self-healing. She might not really be able to kill Winston herself, but all she has to do is not die and Winston can't stay on her forever.

ana has very good burst self healing and still gets dumpstered by winston if her team isn't there to peel for her. moira's fade is the much bigger deal for her being hard to jump

ana only gets 100hp and only if its off cooldown. moira just succs and succs as long as theres no bubble in-between

fade is still extremely good though

Her self heal is 33% lower than her damage, but that still means she's undoing more than half of Winston's damage.

So if Moira good, Winston is basically a bad pick? So we are back to Roadhog=Zarya/Dva/Rein/Ana/Soldier and now Moira?

In pick up games probably. In games where you have a cooperative Zen or a Dive partner? He'll probably still be strong.

i've been getting annihilated in deathmatches by moira since the patch dropped. i usually jump in as tracer.

but the last 5 games i've picked Torb and got #1 finish in every one so...I think that's a good strat if you want your loot boxes.

Moira's damage ball is really good at stymieing a tightly packed rein-ball pushing through a choke... unless the other team has a DVA or lucio, where it becomes basically useless.

If they are just running ana/zen, though, you make the other team's supports job really hard as they try to put one bit of heal on each person with a bunch of their own team's tank's asses in the way.

mccree will be good against moira as long as you catch her with fade on cooldown, otherwise she'll just dodge it and keep suckin

that said, is fade just an invisibility or is it also an invulnerability

I believe she is invuln during fade. Don't know if it renders her invulnerable to cc-- does she get trapped by Junk if she fades through his trap?
