to be fair ulting Moira isn't keeping anybody healed if they're getting focused by more than one person

Isn't convalescence 140health/sec?

it's good for genji/Winston/roadhog ults sometimes pharah, basically anything where a few seconds of health cushion is really helpful

What if instead of games played or won lootboxes were bought with gold/silver medals earned in matches you play to completion? That way everyone does their best.

Man I never really noticed how much a Genji and Moira ulting at the same time (I was Moira) is a very scary combo. Since she can blast the enemies while damaging them and keeping Genji healed so he just rampages through them rapidly.

also its a lot harder to see Genji coming with a hose of a piss in your eyes

Sometimes I wish I could cancel her ult in the middle when I really need to throw out pee ball + spray to keep someone alive bc kamehameha doesnt heal enuff 😐

That’s my issue, Moira seems extremely powerful based on her regular kit and then her ult is like a weird (but objectively stronger) Pharah Ult, which was the previous worst Ult, IMO

Moira's ult works a lot better when I throw one of her deathballs out first then ult, as they do enough damage to start killing tanks.

Moira is probably the best designed (mechanically that is) character out of everyone in the game. And that's pre and post release characters.

Agree. The only thing she was lacking when she first came out that thankfully was patched was her inability to hurt turrets outside of her ult. That really sucked if I played her in deathmatch and Tjoborn was there.

Left click is 80hps and org is 75hps (up to 300) versus 140hps per target for kamehama. I don’t see why you’d want to cancel it?

Reinhardt would be for me- seems really fair and balanced. Every time he kills me, its like "that's fair, I probably deserved that".

It's fine for guaranteeing a win on a team fight that's a little wobbly. Being able to beam through shields and get Zen/Mercy/Ana other squishies to basically guarantee a victory is... okay, I guess...

99/100 Tracers are trash who just "harass" a backline, feeding ult while never getting any picks, and then throw their ult on one person to get a kill and pat themselves on the back IM CONTRIBUTING.

I agree, it's frustrating as poo poo, but lore-wise maybe it makes sense that she's just dumping the poo poo out all uncontrolled and it has to empty out. Pharah can't turn her rockets off early either :\

Moira's ult will pass through heroes, right? Like if I am firing through a friendly Reinhardt at idk let's say an enemy Soldier just standing there, am I healing the Rein AND damaging the Soldier? Or is it just healing the Rein and not carrying through?

It goes through everything. The selling point is that it'll do plenty of work on a mixed cluster of friendly/enemy players.

In fairness, Moira is probably overpowered right now. But I am so happy to have a healer people willingly select that I hope they leave her alone.

Scatter arrow can be nerfed into the ground with impunity, not like Hanzo mains are going to switch. . . .

If you line up all other 11 players it will heal each of your allies for the full amount each and do the full damage to all 6 enemies.

I'm kinda confused why I keep hearing Moira is overpowered. Her damage is kinda pitifully low and the only way she can increase it is by tossing out a damage ball which can be pretty easily avoided. Hell, her beam itself can't even finely target people, so if another enemy gets too close it'll swap targets as well.

She can charge her ult in under 20 seconds. In co-ordinated play she's insanely good.

Yeah, it charges fast enough that you should be the first to ult in the first team fight of every game. And if you can do that and frag out with the beam, your team is then up on overall ult economy for the next fight, and you've already got a nice snowball happening.

Moira is hella strong.
