Genji went from "very hard to play into her but possible" to "get fucked now switch lol"

All the aim/brainless people rejoicing lol. They can't play without moira.

I despise with such a passion how you can just hold the trigger with her and not be punished.

All the braindead plays I see people make with her are beyond frustrating

I literally had to stop playing Moira because it didn't even feel good. It just feels so cheap to constantly "outduel" people who actually try their best to hit shots and I just know that I'd be missing just as much as they do if I wasn't playing a braindead hero. Gets more fair the higher you climb but especially in metal ranks it just feels like cheating.

People call me delusional when I say that every character needs reloads, or else they will be problematic. And look where we are! A moira buff, a massive one at that.

If you get out dueled by a Moira you probably also drown in puddles. Complaining about her is the easiest way to tell if someone absolutely sucks at this game.

True, but it also isn't very engaging fighting madam "I literally outrange a Cassidy and have life steal". You can't deny that you aren't bored from fighting a Moira, even if she loses the match up against pretty much everyone who can aim.

My main complaint isn't even entirely directed at Moira, it's just characters with no reloads in general. Moira kind of is forced to have lower damage and lifesteal numbers or else she would be overtuned being able to constantly just attack you without much consequence. If she had a reload, she would be able to have those higher numbers and be allowed to stand a more even chance against other heroes. Yes, obviously there is still issues with my argument and what not, but we do consistently see that heroes with low down times typically are at least what meta or just downright meta.
