Moira Going Deep: (Starts at 00:12:20)

• What roles does Moira fill or what is his job in a game?
• Basically, what is the core to the hero for Bronze to Gold (players of all SR are struggling with this, not just sub plat) to grasp for improvement
• Let’s talk about using Healing and Damage with Biotic Grasp effective use.
• How do we pair these together, and keep our team alive?
• How to do we get the most out of our Biotic Orbs?
• Practicing the Fade. How do you set this up for practicing, what do you do to warm up?
• Note: talk about the momentum and jumping
• Proper timing for Coalescence breakdown
• When to use, where to be, who to prioritize
• Building Ult tips
• General Use
• Comboing with teammates
• Can we chat about positioning and how to use your position/presence and movement to maximize damage and pressure?
• How Map Dependent is Moira?
• Now let’s work on proper engagement and disengages.
• Now let’s talk synergies and matchups. What heroes do you need to be careful of for being countered and others that you really think are great/necessary for your comp.

Discord Community Questions:

• Anstapa: We've been seeing a lot of Moira with the quad-tank comp in OWL and it's clear that she really thrives in a tank-heavy comp, but are there other comps specifically that she has an equally good synergy?
• Silvarloki: When playing Moira would you recommend a more aggressive playstyle with her, or passive.
• Winston_Smith: I often run out of healing. Particularly if tank line is doing well and I can't see enemies easily. What's your approach to getting damage in to recharge the heal?
