Who is your go-to if Moira is banned or taken in a comp match?

I've had a bit of a loss streak recently. I started playing comp when I got my Moira to level 40 and have tried to stick with her, while practicing other supports in QP. I've been practicing Wuyang (lvl 13) and Illari (lvl 10) mostly bc I feel like I can't get the hang of the others I've tried (Kiriko, Mizuki, the cat and Zenyatta). I'm ok with the two I've been practicing but really not well enough to replace my skill with Moira. I was placed in high silver but have slid down to bronze after several games off and on of people banning or taking Moira.

Any suggestions to other supports who you think work for someone who's best at Moira? Do I just need to keep practicing one of the supports who I haven't been able to get the hang of yet?

EDIT: been practicing Juno this evening and I'm doing pretty solid with her! I'll make sure to put some time into all of the suggestions tho, thanks everyone

If you started with a bronze 5 account how quickly do you think you could get to gold hours wise and who is your main and backup?

i finally did it yall (hit gm)

i never thought this day would come LOL. i started maining moira cause i genuinely did not have fun on the game until i found her. played for fun for a while and now im gm (pc role queue)!!

the amount of hate we get as moira mains has made me seriously consider quitting/maining a new hero. i have heard “moira doesn’t work past plat”, moira doesn’t work past diamond” “moira doesn’t work past masters”. and now here i am lol. while duoing with a lifeweaver main mind you!

a while back i started to take the hate as encouragement. i switched my main game from valorant to overwatch a long time ago, and something i struggled to get used to was none of my teammates ever hyping me up for good plays/most elims. on valorant, id get a 4k to save the match and the vc would explode. on overwatch, nobody’s ever gonna praise the moira. so i started to just not care what other players think. i’m proud of myself, and us moira mains are proud of each other, and that’s all the encouragement i need.

it’s more rare now, but whenever i would play a game where someone flames me/blames me for playing moira, it used to make me want to play a different hero the next few games. not anymore bitch. i keep playing her cause i have something to PROVE. and i feel like me hitting gm was one huge step on that journey for me

and yes i did lose the next two games LMFAOAO but hey i got potg in one of those games & i know ill be back to gm soon 😈 yall better watch out

Preaching to the choir here

As a recent Moira main (Torb is my main main), here are my unsolicited thoughts.

1- I think some people genuinely don’t know (or just don’t care) that Moira has a heal bar limit and needs to do damage to refill it

2- Gold player are toxic and butthurt when a Moira has more Elims and damage than them, while simultaneously doing the most heals

3- DPS players don’t deserve any heals (but i will begrudgingly still heal them :(

4- She is so simple to pick up but so fun at the same time!

5- So much unnecessary hate, she can heal, and get so many damage/elims but still get hated on and not endorsed

6- As a DPS main main, i sincerely apologize on their behalf for being dum dums

I main Moira and just started trying out comp

Lol. I knew people didn't like Moira but looooord have mercy I didn't expect so much hate from teammates specifically for playing her - even if I'm doing pretty well. I've also had teammates try to vote to ban her after noticing she's my preferred character. I made the mistake of posting in the main sub about it too - although it was honestly entertaining seeing the crazy takes people have about her.

I'll definitely be turning off chat whenever I play comp. Honestly tho quick play teammates have very rarely complained which is nice, I'm at about 100 hours mostly qp and only a couple qp people have given me crap for playing her.

Anyways, just wanted to say I love our girl and salty teammates hating her for weird reasons can succ it ☺️

1-3-2 made me better

Idk what it was. Maybe just the instinct to stick with the tank, idk. But im 11-0 in ranked since only playing 1-3-2. Plat 3 to diamond 5

“Moira, focus heals please”

That’s what Ashe said as I finished sucking off their supports… I have top healing. We are winning.

“I’m healing fine,” I say.

“You’re looking for damage,” Ashe replies.

“I’m finishing kills… kills prevent damage. For Moira, damage is heals.”

“You only need like 200 damage to charge your heals…”

Yes, I’m in Gold. Yes, it is hell.

Honestly I'm trying to learn other heroes, and forcing myself not to play Moira, but she will always be in my heart
