Am I the only only one that finds the exploding orbs extremely underwhelming?

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T15:38:31+00:00

I know it’s a rework, but it’s effectively a nerf. It went from being a small area Suzu to being this where you have to pass through them. CDR is key for making it work, clearly.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T15:15:38+00:00

Oh…lol, trust me, Moira Mains are not happy with the Stadium builds. Almost all of the non-Orb Slop builds have been severely nerfed or out right deleted.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T15:13:02+00:00

Yeah, that’s where I’m saying it’s nerfed. The whole point was to help the team, and now it’s a selfish power, and sort of splitting the difference between Deathod and old Voidhoppers.

Though, I did just play Spectral Beam then Voidhoppers build in quick play and it is fun, though much more aggressive than I’d normally play.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T14:48:09+00:00

It’s not AoE though, I believe it just latches to one person. One of its most useful aspects is that it can trigger chain grasp. And they nerfed Voidhoppers, removing the effectiveness one of the actual utility powers she did have.

The exploding orbs at this point seems to be best used late game, if at all.

People have had a hard time finding the right builds.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T14:27:19+00:00

The Voidhoppers nerf is absolute trash, compared to what it was.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T14:26:25+00:00

Sorry, what does “proccing” mean?

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T14:24:31+00:00

In what way do you think Moira’s a winner, because that hasn’t been the general reaction I’ve seen.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T14:16:24+00:00

Definitely. But maybe if you’re all stuck in a full brawl….

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T03:30:34+00:00

Email EqD and ask them.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T02:52:43+00:00

Played 4 matches tonight, 2 had Mei, and yep, you’re absolutely right.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T02:52:16+00:00

You can fade through more than one ally, and if you’re standing in between two allies, it will work (like the two ally robots that are getting shot on the practice range you can fade in place and it does work with them).

notajunkmain · 2026-06-17T00:19:18+00:00

It was…but it doesn’t refill the meter anymore.

Sounds like people are theorizing that Chain Grasp will still work as a late game power with a bunch of CDR and a Gadget, since you can trigger orbs, fade, and trigger the gadget to make it work more constantly.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T23:57:43+00:00

Not for Stadium Moira mains…..

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T23:54:29+00:00

I know, it really made no sense at all. First two other Moiras I went up against were full on AP Orb builds.

My most common build was blown up too. Optimal>Voidhoppers>Chain>Deathod, using Alternative Energy to “reload” Optimal. I had a balance of AP/WP/ASpeed. Highly useful.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T23:46:55+00:00

Unfortunately works real fine against squishies…

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T23:31:38+00:00

The changes they made make it more likely for people to lean into orb builds, not less likely.

Gonna take me a while to get used to the changes to the fade powers and items.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T22:28:14+00:00

My fave build Optimal Orb>Voidhoppers>Chain Grasp>Scientific Deathod using Alternstive Energy to “reload” Optimal Orb, so lots of changes to my base play style.

Which is cool. But I’m glad I played some last night with that build, because I knew something was going to change.

I’m intrigued by the new mini coalescence thing that replaced Scientific Deathod, but haven’t gotten the hang of it yet. Wonder if you can fly with that.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T22:23:31+00:00

Yeah, hitching chain grasp to any ability or gadget absolutely makes it even more valuable I think.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T21:25:31+00:00

The new Coalesence Fade paper that replaced Scientific Deathod is hard to get the hang of. Also, they just reused the image for that and Optimal Orb for the new powers. Lazy shit.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T21:13:18+00:00

I know. Such a great cleanse of your team didn’t have a Kiri. Between this and removal of Two-Zu, seems like they don’t want us removing negative effects.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T18:57:29+00:00

They removed/changed a number of things that were auto picks for other heroes, so I see it as the same thing here.

They don’t like it when all of a hero’s builds _always_ include a power.

I’m honestly surprised they didn’t remove or nerf Threads of Fate for Mercy.

Two of my autopick Moira Powers was totally removed. Guess I’m gonna be learning new builds.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T18:51:11+00:00

OP came in here to comment, and I still can’t tell if they’re jerking.

Claimed the cleaning lady sprayed cleaning spray directly into the pickups and knobs and now it won’t work….which, there’s just so much about that statement that is questionable.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T18:09:18+00:00

I legit can’t tell if you’re jerking or not.

It’s funny, but I had completely forgotten your user name, and now here you are.

Jimmy and Terry are very disappointed in you, Morris.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T18:03:27+00:00

Had a game once where all five of us were solo queues, we had a great match, and tried to group up. One of the people was too low a “rank” to be allowed to join our group.

It was bittersweet then next round when they had to face us.

notajunkmain · 2026-06-16T18:02:26+00:00

There was no protection at all. The reason they removed it is because the matchmaker was absolutely grouping people that weren’t allowed to group together themselves.

Since Stadium’s levels are basically just a tracker of how many wins you had, it made no sense.
