5 TIPS to RANK UP with Moira in Overwatch 2

[@ArxUK]

Thanks guys for checking out the video. If you would like to see more of them, or something specific, let me know and I'm usually happy to answer your questions and may even make a video if the suggestion is good enough!

[@sp1d3rmanj0e]

Hey Arx, if you're looking for suggestions, I've been looking for years for an OW2 Moira 1 Tip Vs. Every Hero Guide if you think that would be fun. Some heroes are really tricky for me like Winston and Pharah. I'd love your insight on how you take these heroes on

[@danielajorgeloureiro]

You already know what we need: All your fade jumps in every map 😂 [I know you have some in some maps, but we need more!]

[@angelinad287]

Being able to think about where to throw your orb and watching it bounce right where you need it to be is so satisfying fr

[@ScarletWitchFanboy]

I’m at Plat 4 because I’ve been watching Arx. I used to be Silver 3. He’s why I went up two ranks. The benefit he provides as a content creator is invaluable.

[@kapilanmathialagan]

Plat 4 isn't impressive. Anything above plat 3 is when things are different

#5 is why I love playing Moira. Her crazy mobility & survivability makes her so good at creating game utility beyond her numbers. Stalling a point, chasing down an annoying character, distracting a critical enemy, baiting out cooldowns - she’s such an interesting support, I love playing her.

[@ImDefinitelyreal]

The idea of distracting both of their healers is so genius, its almost a guaranteed way for my team to win fights and the best part is once your team has gotten a pick or two you can fade right back to them.

[@dash4800]

In my experience, I distract both healers and a dps and my teams still loses a 4v2. I love Moira but it really does seem like nobody ever capitalizes on anything I do.

[@awesomeairplanememes]

Watching arx allowed me to go from low diamond to top 500 in three seasons! Definitely also never stop playing when you reach a new career high ranking! It's in those matches that the most growth happens

[@creepymoss3805]

#5 is definitely something I should do more often. It's true, you can heal your team all you want but sometimes you need a distraction at difficult times where nothing is changing. Thank you Arx!

[@k.heizer]

LOL!!!! Thank you Arx. I've been doing tip number 2 for a while without realizing it. I like watching your lives cuz I love playing Moira and I learn a lot by watching you. And I always saw you doing this and just reproduced it without knowing the value it has within the game. 😊

[@astridandbrothersworl]

I didn't realize her healing sticks to people for three seconds. I just thought this was a tic of Arx 🤣

[@rachillin118]

Thanks for the tips Arx! Love your videos - I’ve been showing them to my friends and they’ve all been shocked silent by your fade jumps haha

[@TheTikus91]

Great tips video! Point #5 really brought it home regarding your decision making process in your videos. Explaining how you can take away value from the enemy team by targeting and distracting certain roles really emphasizes the point about being intentional about your plays. I think many get caught up thinking you just need to backline dps to breakthrough a tough hold, as opposed to being focused on pulling as much resources from the enemy team while staying alive. Moira can really go the distance with the latter role

[@MightyThews]

Cheers for the video, Arx. I've been watching your Streams enough over the last 10 months that I have heard these, but for you to compile them into a mini Compendium for new Moira players/ viewers is awesome. I've learnt a lot by watch you, so cheers for that, and I hope this video is well received so we can get more. One bit of advice I would proffer on side is: be proactive in pinging your teammates that need healing--before they themselves get on the "I Need healing" spam. (Something that should be done playing ALL Supports, but more so for Moira given her perception from the Community) Show your teammates you are not a "typical Moira". I've walked into a game, had a bloke type: "Great, a Moira main, this is an L," for that player to at the end of the game say: "Well, I was wrong, W Moira." I've been Endorsement 5, basically one tricking Moira since Season 7, and kept it since. And showing that you are there for your team, even if you are pinging from the other side of the map, will at least show your team you are trying and in the game with them, which will lead to better moral, and a healthier experience to keep pushing forward. And you can still do all the things a Moira player should DO to try win; however, by showing your team you are actively there for them, helps immensely, not just for that game, but for future ones as well.

[@jakehorsburgh2878]

Throw an orb just before you ult, when you come out of ult your cooldown will pretty much be back up

[@cocoaustralia]

I feel like Moira is abit of a meme but this was actually very informative I appreciate your work on this

[@thehurtk]

You forgot the mention the importance of ma-lay. Love your channel, keep it up.

[@ArxUK]

I'm not such a big fan of it as I value the sustain too much. Most of my game is about survival and I'm always playing on the edge of it. There's a time and a place for it, but I don't put the same level of importance on it mid combat as other Moira players do. I'll use it as a finisher only in most cases.

Nah, you’re actually insane in so many ways! Love your Moira fade jumps 😭

[@ricashbringer9866]

Thank you for these tips. Your first is exactly what I am trying to do now. I like playing Moira because I used to tank or play dps in comp. When I started to play Moira, I found the perfect balance between doing damage and supporting the team. I managed to get Play of the Game in my last Quick Play Match where I was training. I posted it to my channel.

[@TangleHamain]

Thank you so very much, Arx!! I have learnt quite a few important things from just watching your streams but this is just easier and better to understand! Thanks! Also, adorable Moira on the thumbnail!! Big W

[@Irisment]

THIS is sooo good! and so helpful! thank you Arx!

[@ketsuekipen]

Thank you!! I’ve learned so much from just watching your gameplay, but this is super helpful and thoughtful!

[@Metaljade22]

Hi! I’m a new Moira Main, she’s a character I’ve grown to love over time. Thanks for providing content for her. Great tips - you’ve got a new subscriber! 🎉

[@siuxxo]

this was incredibly helpful, usually whenever i go watch any moira tips videos they always seem to be a joke which made it impossible for me to find any tips videos and yours are literally the first to be actual advice.

[@iStorm-my5fp]

#3 Fade control I'm definitely trying that one

[@nocfox3050]

For #3 I personally try to up my control with fades facing backwards or sideways just to help myself learn the map layout without actually needing to look where I'm going

[@nostalgjc1]

i haven’t really touched moira that much since season 10 but after i’ve watched this, i think i’ll play her more. i forgot how she can be fun

[@mankoach2346]

Thanks, this helps a lot. Long life Moira Mains!

[@kunguroo]

to the fade control one i would add that you gotta learn to fade backwards, that's so helpful during the games

[@TadasheMCp]

Very nice fade jump. I need to learn that.

[@b3npeters]

Sick vid. I will do exactly this as Moira is one of my favourites

[@SodaKing04]

Great tips video! I’ve learned a lot from you from just watching you from the past year and it helped me reach Top 500! Much love Arx, keep up the great plays ❤

[@Valroirr]

That was spme great stuff arx, thanks for the awesome guide, its really made me think aboht my fades a lot more and also why when things arent working out, then i jump at their backline things do workout. Love the stuff and im definitely gonna praxtice and get a wholw lot better

[@nostalgjc1]

the guide we have all been waiting for

[@serstars]

This is exactly what I mean with a good educational video!! Still educational, short, understandable and still a bit funny (awkward youtube asking for liked moment for example). You definitely helped my Moira play with a lot Arx!!

[@astridandbrothersworl]

If I could "love" this video, I would. Fantastic, thank you!

[@tariksabie1738]

Great vid and thank you for the tips. This will trigger so many Moira haters (on your team as well as the enemy team!)

[@TooRiskyHD]

Arx because of this video I’ve decided to get back into ow2 & so far I’m on a 7 win streak with a winning trend. Thank you for all that you do for us Moiras/ viewers with advice, streaming & videos

[@Cuddliestninja]

Thanks for the info. Love the guides!

[@zihaoye2433]

Great content！Really helpful！

[@chunksfunks960]

Thanks! ive been playing a lot more dps-ish support characters and just started with moira so this really helps :D (i also just got blackwatch moira shes so cool)

[@Aakeemi666]

Great tips thankyouuu!💜 I've gotten so much better from watching u love ur videos and streams ur so amazing with moira!

[@bladeviper_ow]

I found your video through a Japanese moira player introduced you.

[@ArxUK]

That's awesome! Arigato!

[@BinatLoves]

Thanks Arx. Moira was considerably my best hero in OW. But watching your videos showed how bad I am. Everytime I rewatch a video, it increases my mechanic ceiling.

[@murraymcm1]

good advice, thanks

[@superztnt]

Thanks!

[@ArxUK]

Thank you! Didn't have to do that!

[@weedgrandpa]

thiiis! pls do a video on how other overwatch characters interact w/ moira's abilities, like zarya's bubble and ult-cancellations like sombra, orisa, and rein. I feel like these aren't talked about enough

[@hy930807]

I finally got to practice your stall on new queen street! Wanted to do that for so long, stalling with orb bouncing in that mid ground room stalled the bot for my entire team to get back all the way from spawn. May have stressed my tank out as he wanted us to rg xD

[@mikcas]

made it to master 4 learning from you Arx. was previously plat

[@nostalgjc1]

i love the #do it yourself tip

[@angelinad287]

I never thought about the fading control like that and it’s embarrassing bc I should have considering I always try to fade allay but hit a wall or barely miss where I was trying to go so that exercise is gonna be really useful rip

[@Jean-qf3tz]

Bro so many hours on Moira and this is the first I’m hearing about the heal over time

[@-MicroFlow-]

i've been practicing my orb bounces, i NEVER let an orb loose value after half of its duration. ( aslong as my teamates ar not actively dodging my heals. thank you :)

[@agasuo2673]

not even play moira but this iss the best guide ever seen. dont even know moira can fade that long and high, dont even know moira can overheal teammates 🤣🤣

awesome video, tks

[@Wemfs]

[@sana-pomu]

king I love your videos I have learned so much! How have you been dealing with the Pharah meta!

[@sana-pomu]

also, how to work with a team that isn't doing well against Pharah in this meta

[@ArxUK]

If Pharah is in range, attack her. Don't attack the Mercy as Moira in most cases. Nearly every other hero attacks the Mercy though. The reason on Moira why I attack the Pharah, is because it's rare that you will kill the Mercy, she will just disengage, but Pharah will be firing out amped rockets at you. If you attack the Pharah, the Mercy heals Pharah instead of amping her in most cases, which means Pharah is firing regular rockets at you. So you will generally survive for longer, Pharah will be easier to hit than Mercy, and you kind of cancel Mercy's effect out because you're occupied and not healing your team, and Mercy is occupied and just healing her Pharah. The difference is Pharah doesn't get the benefit of the amped rockets. The other way is to ignore the Pharah Mercy completely (it's not really your job anyway, but you can always contribute), and instead you can either just play the tank vs tank fight and try to win that, or you can go and attack the second support on the enemy team. If Mercy comes to peel, then Pharah isn't getting amped rockets (good!). If Mercy doesn't come to peel then Moira is good in 1v1 duels and while their support is fighting, they probably aren't healing their tank, who will now have no supports and is likely to be in real trouble. It's really tricky though in the higher ranks as the Pharah and Mercy players are really good.

[@sana-pomu]

@@ArxUK thank you!

[@KnurdMonkey]

Very nice.

[@kntf7333]

weekly moira vids please

[@blacktimhoward4322]

My biggest problem in high plat Moira games is timing my flank pressure correctly in the flow of the battle. I don't like flanking right as the teams engage, because I'm not thrilled about taking on full HP targets, but I also don't like waiting until the first wave of CDs is fully used because although the targets are juicy, my team is generally about to collapse. I do best with tanks who cause positional chaos like Doom or Ball because the timing is much more obvious. When I'm the only one pulling eyes away from the team core, it's much harder to consistently get offensive value and/or keep the tank alive. Would appreciate thoughts from any Moiras!

I'd love to hear you talk about dodging...

How about tips on when to ULT?

[@BeforeThisNovember]

Here’s a tip for console players: play on a monitor not TV 😂 I was bouncing around in silver and gold (touched plat and also Silver 5 💀) Went from silver to Plat 2 in a couple days. My last 20 games I am 17-1-2 😂

[@sonicsolosyourfavverse4487]

Kiriko next :3

[@xVoLxPaYnE]

So controlling your fade with the exercise you provided should be considered step one. Practicing crazy fade jumps should be step three. Step 2 should be fade control, but fading backwards around obstacles. I can't tell you how many times my map knowledge has bailed me out of bad situations. If you have excellent map knowledge, you can get more aggressive with your positioning. With your last tip, "Taking matters into your own hands," it is important to note that you DO NOT go into a game with this mentality. If you do, then your ego will get the best of you and you'll find yourself dying more often than not. Start each game with an observational mentality to see how your team performs and coexist with each other, then flip the switch if you need to.

[@almuhairi_ue]

I had a suggestion, Arx, why not try the Japanese or Korean server, I mean a little diversification u like it

[@T3ttras]

I dunno what's up but I'm getting about around 20k heals, we lose and my ranks goes down 22% then when I win it's like 9%

It's of course a good tip, but I only wanted to do 5 here and I feel like that one is mentioned in lots of other places, but for those reading their comment... yes... do that!
