i specifically remember testing ow1 moira and that was ever so slightly lock on but yeah not like it matters now

You teach me alote bro.. keep going plz

he also is maxing his heals its almost like he doesn't know moira does heal over time

Thanks for the helpful tips and praise, it was nice to hear that I will climb easily. Regarding my 1v1s, I win duels 90% of the time and if I don’t win, then I don’t duel again. I win because I understand how bad platinum plays and that's why I can take such risks. The problem with using my ult is most likely due to the fact that I haven't played Moira that much before, I only have 15 hours on her and so I can sometimes do stupid shit

Good video, enjoyed watching

Little embarassing to admit but this was me in the video! Thank you so much for the advice I'm definitely going to keep these in mind while playing my next ranked games

Hey thanks for the review I’ll try improving and I’ll send another I’m currently masters 3 on dps btw

this whole video is literally just 'well actually its technically not'. you know what people mean by lock on. call it soft lock or whatever its still an easy beam to use that requires very little skill to aim with. this is why you dont see montages of people having cracked moira aim because there is no aim.

So the beam is technically bigger….but it’s visualized as a lock on beam?

You are 100% correct, though I understand why some people think it. You can see it in the video even. I assume for aesthetic reasons, when the beam is in line with the hitbox the ANIMATION does indeed "lock" on to the center mass of the target, which would of course give the illusion of an aim-assist soft lock. But again, you're right, if the cross hair ain't touching the hitbox, nothing's gonna happen.

I've been saying this for the longest time but everyone just said "nope your wrong" and blocked me.... But now? I SHALL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

i just tested this in the practice range and it does indeed lock on when the mouse is not on the enemy, it's less evident with large hitbox heroes like roadhog but is still there

Loved the whole thing, eyes opening

genji mains when they have a counter "ItS bRoKeN"

It's just a fat beam that visually moves, it misleads you into thinking she's a lock-on beamer

Respectfully a few days ago when I was playing Moira, I hit an enemy with my damage beam that was in my blind spot, literally behind me...from farther away you need to aim a bit but the closer you get it does in fact lock on

Thank you ❤

Oh this is my gameplay! This is all super helpful thank you! I really have been wanting to rank up so I'll definitely apply ur advice! I will admit I'm pretty tunnel visioned so I'm pretty oblivious when I'm fighting, I'll be sure to work on it :D

its practically silent aim you dont need to be aiming anywhere near the model to deal damage

Ive tried to explain this to golds/plats multiple times, will send them this, ty!

i have 46 hr in moira and i can say its not lock on

Its crazy how people still don't know lol. Like yeah, granted, the mechanical requirement is many times lower than most heroes in the game since it's kinda just a massive beam, but it doesnt even compare to old Sym, which was in fact lock-on. I do however understand the frustration of dying to Moira though. I can just do whatever I want with my WASD keys without losing any damage.

Isn't this the most obvious thing ever? Moira was my first hero and even then I knew...

Not lock on but I've definitely been killed through walls with that moira beam. Like it was still on my character through a wall.

Tbf, it does LOOK like it locks on because of the animation, doesnt mean it actually does though

Can you do one for Mei? 🤪

People who believe that Moira's beam is lock-on clearly didn't play during the OG days when that Symmetra beam would absolutely melt people even if Symmetra was looking 180 degrees in the wrong direction.

Dude she’s my second most played character and I didn’t know it wasn’t lock on.

th-cam.com/video/so4RP3bVMio/w-d-xo.htmlsi=otWA8pHJRK99-Idc 13:18 for the discussion on battle lines. Can't recall what I had for breakfast, but I remembered listening to Critical talk about battle lines on a Nepal map. Memory is a weird thing.

Thank you for this! It gets so tiring having to explain this over, and over.

A little bit louder for those Genji and Pharah mains. 😂

th-cam.com/video/1hLbceyuF_o/w-d-xo.htmlm15s for KarQ giving a visualization and confirming that Moira's beam is NOT lock-on.

This is the kind of content I got that bell rung for

Silver players be like "nuh uh"

Dang it, I had a whole comment noting specific points you brought up and thanking you for them, then I accidently clicked on the 'next video suggestion' when i meant to pause at the end, lol. A couple things I had said, the first junk trap I actually saw and carefully avoiding until I felt that specific engagement was over, so I actual had a rare instance of seeing the junk trap there. All the others, you were preretty much on point. I'm not very good at discerning junk traps. For some reason I just don't see them a lot of the time. And I actually laughed that time he caught me and did nothing because I'm just staring up at him like 'okaaaaayy...you gonna kill me yet?' Definitely something to work on, and when i DO see them, I need to ping them better. I'd never thought of it as a 'battle line', so I will work to incorporate that. I've been working on being out in the open less already, but I clearly have a long way to go, and keeping the battle line in mind will help a to supplement that mentality. Thank-you very much! (and I'll keep the advice from Awkward in mind, but I don't watch his content specifically because he engages in unranked to GM content). I usually play more reserved and was particularly aggressive this game, but I still definitely need to hear that advice so I can use it better going forward, because even in my less agressive games, I know I am still lacking in awareness of the battle line, so I really think it will help me there. Coal. Keeping in mind what you said, I see what you mean. I used to hold it for a long time, but I actually heard from you once (I think when you were talking to someone on reddit?) not to just hold it, and I perhaps overcompensated, lol. I've gotten in the mindset of 'even a slight advantage, use it'. I will work on fixing this and using it more purposefully and with clear intent. And I originally said in my accidently deleted comment that I will be more choosy on when I use it as a saving mechanism, but then three minutes later in the vid you specified NOT to use it that way, so I will keep that in the forefront of my mind now as well. Lastly, just an overall thank-you. I had an impression that how 'well' I did felt artificial, that I was getting away with things I shouldn't be. I think I even said to my wife that I shouldn't be able to get away with a couple of those plays. I think I ended up being more aggressive as I realized that, and of course it cost me. I specifically didn't share the overall stats for the game when I made my reddit post because I didn't want anyone there saying 'great job' based on the stats, which showed me getting the highest elims in the lobby this game, which we both know isn't the most reliable way to say how good you did in a game. This is something you said in yout Hog video I was watching earlier today. (You also spoke about positioning alot there as well, so watching this right after is reinforcing several of your points really well) And I really like the line about 'they can't hit you, wait until you get into a rank where they can'. I'm pretty sure this and positioning are a large part of why I dropped and kept dropping from my prior masters rank, and why the reset dropped me all the way from diamond to plat. So thank-you. I'm going to work on the things you said and try to avoid bad habits that I've developed. Thanks for taking the time. Hopefully in a couple months or so I'll be able to send you a new vid from a higher rank and I can keep climbing. GGs.

Holy crap, I did NOT expect to see this up already. Thanks! And hey! I wasn't ogling the mercy! I was telling them I was jealous of the skin.

Thanks for the very long effort review ❤ The reason why I kept on staying at payload was because I didn’t know where to go at 😅 My play style was built up in open queue (my first top gameplays was open queue where most of the role queue top 500 players are put in a lobby) so I mostly follow open queue play style which is bad 😢 The reason why I ult on kiriko was I thought her team was near to me so I could kill both (I didn’t know her team moved that far 😢) The reason why I walked into the tire was as soon as I heard his ult and I found my position Is quite near him, I just want to go flank him and kill him while he’s finding someone, after that I can flank his teammates I will work on the advice you have given in the review, and I will try to actively thinking where shall I go. I hope I will get out of silver in no time 😊❤

There was only one point in this game where I think you misread your team, which was first point defense. After you ulted, you pushed into their spawn. You called it trolling, but I think you recognized that you had numbers and saw an opportunity to stagger them as they came out of spawn. You made an aggressive play, but your team was passive, and so you fell over. If your team followed up, you'd have have survived, and had a numbers advantage in a team fight where you had also just forced out cooldowns. Possibly the right play, but with the wrong team to execute it. But - that wasn't the point you identified as the one where you should have changed your approach. The point that you identified was third point defense. Right after stuffing them back into spawn, some of your team wanted to hold close while you rotated back up to the high-ground. You expressed that, with about 1:36 left on the clock, you should have held close with your team. I disagree with you, and I think what happened from there onwards really shows the value in the play that you did make. Your Junk and Pharrah died quickly. If you held close with them, you might have just joined them. Instead, by controlling the high ground, you denied the Sombra who tried to translocate up there twice (almost assuredly to try to drop a good EMP on your team). You chased the Sombra (who later used EMP to counter Pharrah and only got her and you in it), and you caused enough damage to the Sombra to pressure out lamp. That led to effective ults from Junkrat and Illari, both of whom ulted from the relative safety of the high ground that you controlled for them. You were able to follow up on the Illari ult because you had good angles from the high ground, and you were able to easily dispose of the Reaper after they solo ulted a 1HP Illari (probably out of frustration at having no opportunity to drop that down from above). Overall, by taking and controlling that high ground, you denied the enemy team the space they wanted, created favourable circumstances for you and your team, and enabled your team to pop off. They were never really all that close to capping. If, instead, you were wiped with your team trying to hold close, then your fat hog ass would have struggled to get back to that high ground, and it could have been a very different game.

Good tips, sometimes its difficult to sync with your team as tank since they are behind you. Laughed at 23:51

I like these! Keep it up dude. Also dive more into strategy stuff, I know I’d like it!

I get what you are trying to say with this video but I keep going back and forth about it being “right”. I’ve always heard if you want to rank up with Moira you need to play like the rank above. I’m a diamond moria (thanks to your help haha) and a silver tank. I’ve lost plenty of “40-4” games as tank which is extremely frustrating. It’s tough to play down though since the plays are random while higher ranks have some more structure and strategy. Not sure what the right answer is

I'm not really convinced that playing as a team at the sacrifice of the right play is best. It seems playing as a team leads to alot of nothing going on, at least as a Tank especially Hog who is his own support you can press forward if you have a 1, 2 person advantage. As a support or dps if you are up and try to play aggressive (the right play) you risk feeding but also it can lead to encouraging your team to go forward, while if you stay and wait for your tank to lead they often take so long that the advantage you had disappears or your team unnecessarily ults especially in low rank where mercy is very prevalent and frequently can get blatant rezes off.

Thank ya kindly :) It definitely didn’t look like a diamond game aha, it was EU, console and the early hours of the morning so we didn’t have out best and brightest in that lobby (me inclusive of course). I’ll definitely try and implement all of that, i can really tell how big of a problem positioning is now you point it out. With me damaging the dva a lot that game, that’s mostly because a lot of them around my rank are really reliant on DM so any beam (or suck in this case) can quite easily do a lot of damage. Would you say that’s generally a good idea or i should (almost) always go for the squishies?

Just checked player’s profile, I found that the 3 stacks were bronze 1 last season, silver 2 this season, opponent’s tank was gold 1 last season, and 2 dps were plat 2, plat 3 last season 😮 I guess even there was a big rank difference, if I had strong mentality I might be able to turn the tables. I will definitely not give up and try my best next game 🔥

Thanks for the review! ❤ I definitely found my mentality is getting weaker before and I’m easily getting frustrated I will work on that and try my best to improve Thank you and subbed❤❤ (The reason why I sometimes had awareness but other times I got no clue was because I didn’t find my headphone when the game started so I just decided to play with audio off 😢)

Nice!

Spamming left right click looks pretty cool (I used to do that), then when I watch my replay I just feel wtf so I stopped doing that. I am not the person who is getting reviewed, I’m just another random player

I would like to see one of these in season 9 now with how different the game is now

Thanks for the review, I never really thought about just jumping off the map being the correct play sometimes.

"6000 edpi is low"....are you sure about that Critical haha. Many of the GM or above streamers I watch have an edpi of around 3000-4000. Theres also a video analysis by Struth Gaming that shows the average pro player edpi is 4160. Amyway though great video! Good tips.
