A Reddit user disclosed theirDPS Moira hot takeon the Overwatch 2subreddit. “If the Moira on your team is only doing dps and not healing, they are a garbage player,” the post author wrote. “A good Moira player will have a balanced SUPPORT playstyle where they pump out heals and help the team get elims.”
The Overwatch 2 player claimed Moira should be played with an “aggressive support” style, but she is “very squishy and will die from getting farted on.”
“I think of Moira as a “raw power” character, they don’t have utility, nor cc, nothing like that,” one user said. “They just do a lot of damage and a lot of healing, which is fine. It’s a fun design, but sometimes it lacks in higher ranks due to the lack of utility.”
