Ana: Why do I even try?

xQc banned live for misuse of reporting system

I don't think RIP-Tire is meant to be able to do this

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 04:06 AM PST

Zenyatta should have a health bar for the player his Orb of Harmony is on.

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 07:45 AM PST

Similar to how Mercy has one for who she's healing.

Everyone enjoying low grav?

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 07:06 AM PST

Everyone's praising the release of Moira, but my most hyped change is the "Leave as group" checkbox is auto-checked when in a group now!

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 05:30 AM PST

As the title says. When you're in a group now, the "Leave as a group" checkbox is automatically checked. I can't tell you how many times I've left the group because I forgot to check this.

You can't escape Moira's PotG finish

My scrim finder tool is finally launching today! Feedback appreciated

If Junkrat mine just grazes you, you take 120 damage. Straight in the face? 120 damage.

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 10:32 AM PST

I feel like his mine should have damage drop off if you barely graze a Genji jumping over you. It would seperate it a good Junkrat from a bad one.

Moira's Perfect Reticle

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 03:46 AM PST

https://gyazo.com/08dcb81d64c6c22967a7503cf757cbe5

These settings gives you a reticle that perfectly shows who gets hit by Moira's beam-o-doom and who doesn't. If the enemies are just within the reticle, they will be hit. Stray out of it, and they won't be. With how sensitive Moira's beam can be, this is a very handy trick to get used to it.

It has come to my attention that someone posted about this prior to me. My apologies for that. Here's the link to the other post. https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/7bpuu0/op_moira_tip/

[Hanamura] Defenders' Spawn to Point A (8.9 seconds)

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 05:08 AM PST

The best part of the Ana buff is nanoing all the things.

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 05:45 AM PST

She hasn't been getting used much, especially on console, and I totally forgot how sweet it is to get boosted.

I finally got boosted as Orisa for the first time last night, and felt like a god. Everything before me melted like faces when you open the Ark of the Covenant. Who wouldn't love that?

Get in there!

This wasn't even POTG

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 08:36 AM PST

Every one PLEASE stop with the "Moira's hand controls are backwards" posts

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 08:56 AM PST

It's getting really old, even when she was on PTR people have been saying this, you're not informing the masses any more than they already are. You can switch controls for a reason. Now before you start saying "But muh orb prompts are wrong" just press healing beam or damage beam before pressing to send an orb then press the orb and it will launched automatically skiping to "reverse" lables from showing up

Thank you Blizzard from an Irish person; Moira's voice lines are SPOT ON

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 01:16 PM PST

Either there's someone Irish working at Blizzard or they had fantastic research.

First of all her equipable voice lines are brilliant. They are all Irish-y things to say. Ones like:

"The state of you"

"You're a chancer"

"What are you on about?"

"Grand"

Then there's the fact that she speaks IN IRISH! As in Ireland's language gaeilge. I only discovered this when I went to say "Thank you" in game and she said "Go raibh maith agat"! I was ecstatic!

I was so happy when I looked up to see that she has multiple lines as gaeilge!

So much in media Irish characters are defined by their Irishness and are completely overdone, especially the accent. Like Cait in fallout or Julia Roberts in Michael Collins. Moira is so fantastic cause she's just someone who happens to be Irish, she is executed so well.

Blizzard thank you so much for getting a voice actor that actually is Irish and then knowing that the Irish language exists then adding that to the game!

I am way too happy about this. Gonna go play Moira and spam thank you

Moira's Interactions / Voice lines So Far

Posted: 17 Nov 2017 09:30 AM PST

G'day!

Here's all the new Moira interactions/some selected fun lines that are in-game so far. She quotes Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, and perhaps the 6 Million Dollar man...a wide breadth of culture there :)

I've made a video with all lines in and going through lore questions raised here. Timecodes in vid's description to skip to the lines only, as always.

Sound files on Clypit below, for those who just want a quick flick through. There are many Gaelic lines that I haven't included here - if any gaelic speakers fancy helping with translations, pop me a message!

There are some part-interactions there, you can tell that Moira recorded around the same time Halloween Terror was being prepared perhaps, as she has interactions right now with McCree, Zen and Widow...3/4 of the stars of the new Junkenstein mode ;)

Hopefully we'll see some Mercy, Reyes and more lines in future! Any requests for specific lines, yell and I'll try best to find.

Hammeh
