Intro Links Other Links: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/8c4afk/interesting_thing_about_dark_mercy_moira_skin/ Notes I found this really interesting, though it has no bearing on gameplay. I’m recreating it here in case reddit goes away or locks things down. All credit for this thought and research goes to https://www.reddit.com/user/n-turalLog/ . Original Text If you aren’t familiar, when Moira was released we were shown this skin in her backstory comic. I was really hoping to see it in the Retribution event and since we didn’t get it, I decided to do some digging out of boredom, to see if I could guess what they might call the skin.

Season 8 patch ranking rework Several huge changes are on the way with the next season, which will begin in a week. This discussion is from an article highlighting the changes on Dextero1. Rank restrictions removed the announcement that most ranking restrictions will be removed, allowing players to queue with their friends regardless of rank. So I can play with my brothers, who normally get beyond qualification for my permabronze status.

Intro Sometimes we have to frankly admit the other Moira was awesome – and then we got matched on their team! Notes Our team rolled Just look. Each person on their team had moire kills than any of us. The worst moment was when Photon killed both of us supports in an alleyway, when I had been full health even. Photon awesome Moira, so I opt Mercy Photon, the Moira who humiliated us last game, was on our team this time.

Intro Rein Sickness: going deep as fast as possible without your team I had both damage and healing near the top of my team, but were that badly outmatched. Our Rein had a bad case of Rein sickness like I haven’t seen in a while. I myself kept getting killed by ending up in bad situations having just used fade. I also botched at least three orbs, hitting a wall instead of getting through to hit/track the target.

Principles from Moira I have plenty going on in my life: a handful of kids, an awesome wife, a full time job I enjoy, and school ambitions. How does Overwatch fit into that? Only as much as I am able to learn from my play and feel it is adding to my life. Below are some some of the most recent life principles that I also need to master for Moira.

Warm Fingers Amazing how things go when my fingers are already warm. This was just basic play, with no smarts in using terrain or angling my orbs or hitting my timings.

Beating a spawn camp: patience Living the #permabronze life I have more than once encountered severe spawn camping, most recently a Hamster backed by an Illari. I have also dealt with Orissa and Reinhardt or Doomfist. The answer should be simple, but the default bronze instinct just results in feeding. Moira (or other) is not going to be able to beat a tank who is spawn camping, let alone one with a healer.

Intro Big balance patch We see many nerfs in today’s patch, especially for healers. In particular we see Anna, Illari, and Zen got significantly nerfed in different ways. Perhaps Blizzard has been listening to ArX, who wanted all healers nerfed. Numbani lost, without Moira super healing Numbani is a strong map for Moira; in the past I have seen and played 18k+ healing games, because your team tends to orient in the alleys to push the cart, and mad area dealing has rich dividends.

Losing Streak and getting spawn camped We pick up part way through a huge losing streak, which is a very sad place to be in while permabronze. Our losing streak continues and I wander aimlessly. At least I got some value here As the worst part of my losing streak, we kept getting spawn camped… And spawn camped again. with moira, what is the right move when being spawn camped? the worst is definitely just running out and dying.
