A Moira player in a recent Overwatch 2 match chose to deal more damage than heal, disregarding a weak Bastion player. At the moment, Overwatch 2 players can take on one of three roles: support, damage dealer, or tank. There is some overlap in the roles played by these groups, but each has its distinct function on the battlefield.
A support hero in Overwatch 2 is someone whose primary objective is to help and heal their allies. To date, eight players have been assigned to this role: the new hero Kiriko and the seven returning medics from the original Overwatch. These heroes can deal with harm in addition to healing, but mastering them requires striking a delicate balance between the two.
A Reddit user named StarStruckYet posted a video of themselves playing the Moira hero character in Overwatch, demonstrating that some players still have room to improve their ability to heal while also dealing damage. The Reddit user in the video played Bastion and engaged the other team in combat near the Esperanca robot on the Push Map. They withdrew from the point after incurring heavy damage, seeking medical attention.
It’s important to point out that it does not just support players accused of disregarding their teammates. Reddit’s history is littered with tales of DPS and tank players abandoning their allies to rush in and get killed by the enemy. Furthermore, not all Moira mains are in the dark; many competent players have learned to use Moira’s healing and damage potential fully. Although the future of Overwatch 2 is uncertain, one thing is sure: a video of both excellent and awful players will make its way onto Reddit in the coming days.
More than 5,100 people have upvoted this post, so it resonated with other players. One player laughed about the absent-minded healer, saying, “Dudes got that 5 FOV.”
