He discusses the too-much-healing problem in OverWatch. But I am not convinced that is a general issue, even at top level – it is just the way OverWatch has become, and is not necessarily a bad thing. It does mean that ArX specialty DPS-Moira style has been changed, though, because DPS Moira not get the kills as she once was. So, in the evolution of the game, DPS Moira is no longer what it once was. Nonetheless, I think that he is feeling this pain point more than newer players less invested in the Tik Tok Moira style. The fact is, if supports are more important than ever, and if healing is a characteristic of current OverWatch, then DPS Moira distracting their healers, or demanding that SHE be countered, is bringing great value to a game. Yes, Moira can be countered – but if the counter is defensive pylons or defensive Anna ‘nades, that means those powers of healing are dealing with the Moira, not with the front-line tanks or DPS. Yes, GM Moira may get fewer picks than before, but her powers of wasting enemy attention and abilities still give her purpose.
