Board 8 > Moira, the latest Overwatch character, out now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

new update out for consoles/PC

huh. I thought the wait would be longer. neat!
---

I thought it would be tomorrow since they said she would be available for the Free Weekend and she wasn't added Tuesday. Not in too big a rush to play her because the easiest way would likely be a No Limits Moira mode (or Custom Matches) and I'd rather just wait until the HYPE is over and she's easier to pick.

Actually pretty fun to play. Although I wish her balls weren't on the same cooldown. I don't really want to use the damage dealing ball because it isn't as useful as the healing one.

No Limits is up on the Arcade now.

Well, tried it out and got one of the most ridiculous and confusing matches I've ever had:

Did Mayhem get added back to the rotation?
---

I can't remember if it's up now, but now they're doing this thing were one of the slots in Arcade will change every day, so it might pop back up again.
---

Yeah, guess my post didn't really explain how I feel clearly. I don't really want to try her in No Limits mode. I'm never going back to that mode in general unless Mercy gets a megaton nerf

She did get a nerfed in the new patch.

Although it doesn't matter at the moment since no one wants to play her right now anyway.
---

They only nerfed Rez and not her out of control Valkyrie. No Limits is likely all Moira or close to it right now so it would be tough to tell how decent she is against other characters. There's still the chance somebody will run double Mercy too and I'd rather not experience something that terrible. If she's anything like Doomfist people will barely be using her a couple days from now >_>

i'm worried moira makes zenyatta useless :(
---

All this has done is remind me that it takes a good 5 wins to bring me enough good feels as I lose in one loss. Unless Mayhem is active I don't think anything can get me back to enjoying this game.

388 hours. Almost hit that magic 400 :/
---

Moira's awesome, looking forward to using her in more standard matches.

He doesn't need her help.
---

She's great. Feels hard to solo heal with though? Even harder than Zenyatta, really.
---

I've only seen Moira as one of a double heal in a group. We really need healers capable of keeping everyone up on their own, ala Mercy and Lucio. I'm not crazy about non-solo healers.
---

I got to play Moira a couple times in mystery heroes and she seems really cool.
---

I'm digging her, she's a lot of fun. I definitely see her having issues as a solo healer though.
---

How sad you gotta be to go into No Limits the day a new character is released and play a 6 make group with comp setup?
---

Oh, I didn't realize her damage beam refills her healing. That changed the way I played her.

Honestly, she seems really good if you have a team that sticks together. If everyone is running off on their own you're out of luck.

Only Mercy can solo heal easily anyways so I'm not surprised to hear this.

Ana has the capacity to solo heal, her raw numbers are high enough to keep a team going, but the person controlling her has to be awfully good. Lucio isn't far away from it, either.
---

That's the problem with Ana yeah. A good Ana is hard to find on PS4 and when you take in the aim accuracy she needs it's just way easier to have a Mercy. The others aren't trash at solo healing, but Mercy can solo heal better than anybody in the game when you take into account her ease of use, ultimate, etc

I was thinking about Moira and how to increase her healing abilities without making her unbalanced, and I was wondering if people thought a hybrid cooldown would be a good idea for her orbs. Like, people are hesitant to use the damage orb because the healing orb is so useful. What if the damage orb had a normal cooldown for using another damage orb, but half cooldown for sending a healing orb? But maybe something that doesn't work both ways, or if it does work both ways, do people think that would be too much?

I read this as mario at first and was super excited.
