So, one great and informative youtuber named Blame The Controller released a video where he explained an issue that caused Nerf of Moira’s helaing.
So, before you will hate me my dear Moira haters, listen to me and find this video, so you can beleive me (no links allowed)…
Every healer that is not Mercy cannot heal through barriers.
But Moira heals in close range, bla bla bla… We know it. But here’s the stuff!
Ana can heal a person behind a barrier if a smallest part of ally not hidden by it.
Lucio and Brig can heal through barriers if they have a clear line of sight on their ally. NOW, THE ISSUE!
Moira’s beam has sorta cone-shaped hitbox like Winston.
Even if the smallest part of Moira’s healing beam hitbox is touching a barrier - you won’t heal an ally, even if he is in your line of sight and you spray the heals directly on him.
It’s not that you just can’t heal through the barrier! It’s that the barrier is just completely blocking heals that should be landing!
This problem should be solved. Either you adjust this beam, or you need to revert this change.
I think it would be simpler to change it back to the way it was. Certainly would save blizzard the hassle. Then again, if they do intend to keep these changes in game, this needs to be fixed first.
I agree. This is a huge devestating bug. Bliz will deffinately fix this before live or else moira is useless. We just need to get their attention :). That being said I do not understand the nerf either. I think moira was perfect. With the barrier hell that is currently on live it will just make her less usefull pushing us back to mercy meta again.
Moira has easeir time healing and its an aoe heal with a hot she will be fine.
Yes ana can heal just by hitting her alies anas heal is the smallest proj in the game or its hit hitscan with the scope.
Just like moiras attack her heal doesn’t even need to be close to the heroes outlines to heal and cause of that its blocked by the shield. It doesn’t look fair but it works that way with other heroes it just doesnt show as much thanks to it not being so big. You can think of her heal as her constantly shooting huge projectails so even if just 1% of it is blocked its fully blocked.
It works on ana aswell if 1% oh her dart proj hits a shield its negated.
And lucio needs to have a vision of half a teammate for him to be in the line of site.
I dont expect support main to see how its ok when they have been spoiled by it so far.
I to watched the youtube video and the guy used a self made cone to describe it for what we know its shape can be difrent aswell.
Personaly in glad that it works that way. Alot of abilitys work like that like mccrees flash bang but no one talks about it just shows that the moment you touch a easy to play op hero people lose it even when its a bug fix… people talked about this bug before fyi. And in glad huge projs work in that way. +moira has healing orb to use most healers cant heal true shields as well but moira still will have a way to and from a safe distance.
And don’t spam moira topics its against the code if conduct. They are like 10 moira thread that talk about this bug fix and calling it a nerf by now i hate to have to comment on everyone.
Heres the video they are talking about https://youtu.be/-EWYd1OcGzA
Guy doesnt even try to explane how moira heals work other than calling it a cone shape spray thats nothing more than the visual side to it.
It was a bug befor its fixed and working the seme way everything in that category works.
Scoped ana will heal if she hits a friendly.
Un sope anas proj and scoped ana dart will be fully negated if they to hit a shield even if just 1% of it hitted it.
Zen, lucio and brigitte cant heal if they dont have line of site and for you to have line of site you need to have atlest 50% of your friendly visable with the center of your hero.
Mercy can heal behinde barriers since her heal is with a lock on and still needs to have line of site 1st so she can lock it.
Moira heal is her shooting one huge proj every 0.25 sec that can pass true 3 friendlys and ofc by even blocking by even having 1% of it hitting a shield.
Lets not forget that alot if thing work like that and people think that its fair.
