Complaining about Tank Moira

So basically I found some weird method to play Moira as Tank, her main objective in this “State” is being in front line and/or sometimes do intelligent flank if on attack.
To do that method you as Moira need to almost always hold right click, and throw only heal orbs (damage if want to fast charge ultimate), knowing some basic movement and dodging methods you can abuse self-healing passive and be more tanky then usually, also often fade using if welcome for making distance between close fight heroes (dv.a or roadhod) is very welcome.
If I need to be honest that Moira style is pretty neat when playing with double sniper DPS, and I highly suggest taking Crowd Heal (brig or Lucio) as second healer, and can be used to do more team damage if needed.
Also if someone need to have a proof about good Moira flanking, just play her like junkrat, her fade is really powerful tool to make fast, and almost everyone successful dive, especially if you can pop off her ultimate quickly with DMG or and be boosted by mercy or ana, then you basically got a PotG if you know how to aim with beam.
What do you think about my tanky Moira style? Can you say something about it? Is it effective on high rank, and is there any comp that will need tanky Moira? (I recommend playing her with friends, now everyone will understand your tactic when playing tanky Moira)

Are you playing against bots?

No, and I’m serious with this tactic, when I play with my friends it’s usually highly effective

Maybe you play with your friends against bots?

Dude, really, it’s not funny, I play qp and comps, don’t make me idiot, I just want to know are my tactic good, and is it useful I higher rank, or it will be just troll pick

i really doubt that a moira, even with high usage of “self-heal”, is tanky against players who know what to do (good aim, focus etc…)

How about not.

personly i think it sounds like the moria who don’t fulfil her role as a healer, see them often in games (ohh i have gold damge) no s**t when everyone is dead around you moria, don’t think it sounds good but rather a troll pick as you put it. but have’t tryede it, but you play the game how you want to :slight_smile: and if you get in a fight whit a hero who is anything els then a squishy i don’t see you win that one v one

You’re confusing having lots of health with being a tank. Tanks protect their teammates, either directly or indirectly. Moira has no capacity to do this. Being able to keep yourself alive is sustain, which is not useful on its own. As Moira your job is to keep your team alive via healing, and use your damage to finish off low health targets.

And her ultimate only does 70dps, so that is a complete waste of its healing potential. Again, you should target low health enemies that can easily be finished off whilst keeping your team topped up. You would be lucky to get into bronze with this behaviour.

More common is: “Moira, why don’t you heal?” when the healing resource is gone because I heal so much…

Yes 1 vs 1 it works but otherwise I can’t see it being that great.

The orb will heal for 200 hp if you bounce is in a nice little area plus 30 hps from right click and 50 dps so you will tank the damge in a 1 vs 1 situation vs a few heroes.

Vs the whole enemy she couldn’t tank it.

This is the dumbest post I have seen in my life.
Being able to take a lot of damage and not die doesn’t make you a tank. Doomfist can get to 400hp with shields, yet he is not a tank, and no-one plays him like one. This is literally just a DPS moira but you throw a healing orb instead. Moira does dog5h1t damage and if you do this anywhere higher than silver you are throwing. There is literally NOTHING that makes that noob playstyle a tank playstyle. This just shows how garbage everything on the forums is.
