great analysis ! btw for people who don't understand why this playstyle is better than "normal support" is because moira does not gives any utility to your team, moira can be good if your team is perfectly coordinate in a normal support playstyle but in ranked no matter the ranks anything can happen so distracting the backlines is much more valuable. You may think that the other support of ur team will struggle way to much but not really unless he plays a low healing output heros like zen or lucio that main focus is utility.He won't struggle healing 3 people where as the enemy backlines will either have 2 people focusing down the moira or else one of them will die since moira is amazing in duels. making the fight a 3vs4

This play style feels like what lore-accurate Moira would do.

The flank at 2:07 is actually super clean. They fade + ult immediately after ana uses both nade and sleep. Maybe they were playing up close on the corner to bait them first.

Something I don't think we saw much of here but that I get a lot of value from on Moira is the space control orb provides. I can displace Hanzo/Widow/Ashe pretty easily with just a semi-decent bounce at nearly any range. I can force out reapers and tracers who are trying to set up, etc. I get a lot of value from Orb's space control even when it doesn't land much damage.

this is a message to the comment section: YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD TO PLAY DPS MOIRA PROPERLY. i see alot of my comp teammates thinking theyre THAT GUY, they go for big flanks then die straight away, rinse and repeat

[hyointheforest]

This guy is a straight menace, nobody in the match having fun but him

I’m g1/p5 support for context, but dps Moria, to me, is just the most impactful you can be as a support aside from standard zen gameplay on some maps. I heal A LOT more than what’s shown in this gameplay, I’m really surprised to see how little healing he does actually. But the ability to follow up your dive tanks/dps, avoid their dives, duel most other heros, contest back line snipers/supports… the list goes on and the impact is insane. People also have no idea how to play against it and typically resort to swapping to heros their uncomfortable with just to avoid dying in the back line. Even from this brief gameplay I’ve realized I need to work on my positioning and aim though, as I’ve climbed the ranks lately dps players have gotten much more accurate and winning duels is no longer as free as it used to be.

witnessing this play style of moira has changed my perspective on how to best play her, it’s really interesting to see how a hero can be pushed to their limits through innovation

[fade_tnt]

This has encouraged me to drop to bronze 5

[avargs]

Love the different perspectives and explanations..
That re-peek at 3:08 was so smart to make sure the genji takes the bait to dive him

Love also the editing to isolate our vision to what your trying to highlight and explain like at 2:04

Great stuff and I’m sharing all of your content!!

I feel like there are several opportunities to add melee in for extra damage. For example, a melee just before fading from the Tracer at 5:50 would have finished her with no extra cost.

The best part of this is that player's name translates to "im dps moira i don't give heals"

[andro_corps]

As a dps Moira who is used to people always complaining I’m glad to see someone who actually points out the good aspects of being one
Funny how in every match there’s always a jealous dps who always complains about you going dps and not healing enough when you actually have the same or more healing than the other support PLUS more damage and kills than your dps
Like I don’t get why people complain about dps Moira if it’s so effective, maybe it’s solely because they don’t like that play style not so much because it doesn’t work
But anyway I didn’t get to grandmaster by pleasing people but by working with them like it or not

Man that inverted color bars for team vs enemy is triggering me so hard.

[GBSGod]

i think its incredibly fascinating how these #1 ranked players on each character all have such different playstyles compared to other people even in top 500 alongside them. theyre just on such another level that theyve figured out an even MORE optimal playstyle than what 99% of people use. this guy using dps moira in top 500 has me realizing there is absolutely no ceiling in this game, which is fucking wild

[Augustmh]

As a Master ranked Moira main, I believe every Moira should learn this play style. Not to play only this way, but learning it to improve your knowledge and utilization of the character. This will open up many new opportunities to think of and execute when playing.
DPS is an essential role to play as Moira, however knowing the right situations for this role is necessary. Moira’s character is centered around duality. She can heal/save teammates effortlessly with heal orb + spray, another essential for the team. So it’s all about finding the perfect balance between these two play styles. Capatalizing on the versatility will provide the best value as Moira.

chad moira. those bouncy orbs were quite incredible

[BuyMyBeard]

I know moira doesn’t have much utility compared to other supports, but her immense substain probably is one of her utilities that I find I can abuse on the ladder. Bouncing an healing orb and having good movement/fade usage can allow you to duel and win against most heroes in the game

[バナナお爺さん]

Oh god, please don't encourage more Moira players to go DPS 😬

I switch between dps moira and traditional support in a match, but the one thing I can't seem to have an answer for are mercy pockets. Specifically when my team doesn't focus the Mercy, Moira needs time to kill and you just can't kill her fast enough before your team dies. The only strat that sometimes works is staggering the enemy team away from the pocket duo, to essentially force my team to engage the 2v4. But I guess you could say that's just a general trick for flankers, it's not all just flanking, it's also divide and conquer essentially.
