Overwatch 2 Update Massively Nerfs Moira

Blizzard is currently hosting the second Overwatch 2 beta, giving fans of the hero-shooter franchise the chance to try the new game months ahead of its early access launch date. The company is wasting no time updating Overwatch 2 based on the feedback it's receiving from the beta, with the latest patch making some rather significant changes to two of the game's most popular Support heroes: Moira and Mercy.

The latest Overwatch 2 PvP beta update massively nerfs Moira by completing changing one of her abilities. Moira now has the Enfeebling Orb that replaces the Damage Biotic Orb, which deals 40 impact damage and 10 explosion damage. This orb also weakens enemy by reducing the damage they can dish out by 75% for a period of four seconds. While this can have its uses, the Damage Biotic Orb as it previously existed was extremely powerful and resulted in many games where Moira would come out with stunningly high Damage and Healing outputs. These changes should make Moira a less overpowered character, though it remains to be seen how the community will react in the long run.

The Mercy changes, meanwhile, are not necessarily nerfs, but they may still feel like them to some Mercy players. After downloading the latest update, Overwatch 2 players will find that Mercy's Guardian Angel ability now has a charge meter, and it doesn't automatically send Mercy flying straight into the air whenever she zooms toward an ally. Players are also able to cancel the ability by using the jump button to launch Mercy in the direction that she is facing, as detailed in the patch notes. The more unpredictable movement that Guardian Angel provided arguably made Mercy more difficult to kill in
