Drama: New Overwatch 2 Patch Buffs Moira’s Pee Charge

The newest Overwatch 2 patch notes have dropped alongside a cool, Ancient Greece-themed restricted time mode, and the Moira detractors are completely going to hate this announcement. Alongside a couple of bug fixes, a number of characters got changes in this newest update, and Moira’s will only add to the drama surrounding the controversial healer.

Ever since Overwatch 2 launched and eliminated the sixth participant on every workforce, the gameplay has been sooner and deadlier—as such, a assist drawback has emerged, with gamers filling that role on the roster, however not truly therapeutic their teammates. Moira is the largest offender in this rising assist drawback: along with her Biotic Grasp she will be able to suck the life out of enemy gamers with out having to aim all that effectively, and her fade means makes her extremely squiggly and arduous to kill. She can simply pump out 10k injury in a match, however since she will be able to also very simply heal double that quantity, it’s extremely irritating to play with a Moira who refuses to heal.

Now, in a hilarious flip of occasions, the newest Overwatch 2 update has made it in order that Moira must do more injury in order to heal more. Oh boy. The patch notes learn: “Dealing damage with Biotic Orb now restores a small amount of Biotic Energy.” This implies that Moira’s injury orb, which might careen down alleys and bounce off partitions, sapping the health out of enemy characters, will now restore a few of her therapeutic output, identified to us Moira mains as “pee.” 

This is a large change—beforehand, Moira may only restore her pee from “sucking” (utilizing her Biotic Grasp to empty enemies at shut vary), or simply by ready for her bladder to fill once more and spamming the suck button (I’m sorry). Now, primarily, Blizzard is suggesting that Moira gamers do even more injury in order to pump out more heals. Overwatch Twitch streamer Hoshizora places it finest: “Tbh this change is weird like it’s meant to encourage moiras to heal more but I feel like it will do the opposite.” I see more drama in our future.

The remainder of the patch notes are comparatively tame, with child buffs for Zarya, Brigitte, and Junker Queen, and some bug fixes round map boundaries and sound results. The principal draw from this smaller patch is that Moira will proceed to piss and piss people off.
