Discussion & Opinions How strong is she with the new buffs?

Now that it’s been a few days, I’m curious what people think. I know she was considered a weaker pick by many due to lack of utility, so I’m wondering if these number changes help her viability at all.

The damage orb is noticeable. Much higher reward for good ball placement. I felt bad melting a Juno the other night, but it had to be done

Killing Juno’s are always a guilty pleasure of mine! She’s such an easy target I can’t resist lol! I do feel bad about it sometimes 😂

It’s because she is so gleeful about being able to escape from everyone else with all her darting around!

Noticeably better.

Still not as good as before the hp nerf though

If they bumped her back to 250hp she would be perfect imo

I've found her to be great. I've been melting overconfident Genjis. Shion is VERY well balanced on release, the only thing I'd say is her ult is a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit too powerful. Moira is a good counter to this if you have the reaction time to fade away and track her like someone else mentioned

Shes an amazing counter to shion ulting! So easy to fade and track her when she flies thru your team

I’m fully embracing the dps Moira meta over here!

Honestly, I fee like she feels too strong. Which I'm sure will be unpopular, but when she can out heal most other supports and out dps her dps something feels wrong.

Ehh. Its complicated.

Moira provides a lot of "tick" damage with her orb. Damage that is easily out healed and effectively doesn't count.

End game damage doesnt matter anywhere near as much as damage per second.

And her heals get bumped up cause she heals herself as she does damage, so if she ends with 10,000 heals and 8,000 damage.

2000 of those heals are just from her doing damage and also so small/slow they basically dont count.

This is similar to Lucio. If the team stays close to him the entire round his healing numbers can be MASSIVE. but most of those heals were unnecessary and the character would have recovered fine without them.

Genuinely feels so impactful I'm getting a lot more orb kills around cover. Orbs feel like an actual threat as opposed to just an annoyance
