As of today, a new support healer has been announced! She is a mad Irish doctor named Moira that is part of Talon. She has life steal and can shock nearby enemies or heal nearby allies. She can throw a little orb in the air that bounces around to either hurt enemies or heal allies. She can make small teleports similar to Reaper. Her ult is a large laser-like beam that either damages enemies if it hits them or heals allies. Overall, she is a mix of Zenyatta, Symmetra, and Reaper to create a really interesting hero. While her story is a little bland, she is certainly a great addition to the understaffed support section. (trailer) (backstory)
I played her a couple rounds - I love her! I'm happy to have a new support that's good in almost all situations. I won't feel so bad not playing Mercy now.
I'm in love with Moira, I think she's great. She's very squishy though, and her damage isn't great, but her kit in general makes up for it. I'm just waiting for the imminent nerf, though.
I like Moira overall, a nice unique kit and can double as a flanker. Need to test to see if her orb can go through Reinhardt shields, and as a Reinhardt main I hope it doesn't, but if it does it is an amazing way to break a defense. Her healing is good and doesn't require much aim to hit with it which I like, plus having healing that mixes as Zen's and Mercy's? I like it. I look forward to seeing how she affects the meta and giving her some proper time when I do play Overwatch.
I really hope they fix her bug with Torb soon. It's so frustrating playing Moira against Torb turret and being completely unable to assist taking it out.
I played Moira for a little bit and...I didn't really like her too much. She just isn't really my style, but I'm glad we got another healer at the very least. However, I'm going to stick with Zen and Ana for now.
I found out the hard way D.VA's Defence Matrix doesn't block her beam but eating her orbs heals you so I just eat the orbs to help my team. It happens because before the matrix deletes it, it registers it as a friendly orb or something (Don't ask me, I just eat them) She's great for a tank heavy team and can really help Mercy
Wonder if that's a bug or intentional, would be cool if it's intentional as it's something I don't think many know atm
Lol. Must follow to same mechanics then, makes sense the only way to deflect a bullet and have it damage the enemy team, plus nullifying attacks so they don't do damage (Besides deleting them with D.Va's shields) is to convert them to friendly objects, probably the reason the orb heals. That or it's really just a bug xD
" From a quick google it seems likely that its to do with eating Moira orbs as you take possession of them for a split second as you Defense Matrix them before theyre eatten. Ive played a lot of DVa and only noticed this recently.. so maybe? The whole healing while calling Mech doesnt fit for me; if that was the case as DVa Id have had lots of games where I had healing. It cant be that " - My friend summed it up
