MOIRA HERO COUNTERS
Fade makes Moira one of the hardest supports to kill. She vanishes for 0.8 seconds, moves fast, and cleanses all debuffs on exit. You can't sleep, hack, or freeze a Moira who saves Fade for escape. The trick is forcing Fade early with chip damage, then re-engaging during the 6-second cooldown. Without it, she's a 200 HP support with short-range damage and no mobility.
Moira's top counters are Sigma, Mei, and Sojourn.

Primary FireBiotic GraspUsing her left hand, Moira expends biotic energy to heal allies in front of her. Her right hand fires a long-range beam weapon that saps enemies’ health, healing Moira and replenishing her biotic energy.
Ability 1FadeMoira quickly teleports a short distance.
Ability 2Biotic OrbMoira launches a rebounding biotic sphere; she can choose between a regeneration effect that heals the allies it passes through, or a decay effect that deals damage to enemies.
UltimateCoalescenceMoira channels a long-range beam that both heals allies and bypasses barriers to damage her enemies. Resource regeneration is three times higher while channeling Coalescence.

Sigma and Mei both punish Moira effectively. Sigma fights from behind barrier at ranges where Biotic Grasp can't reach (the beam caps at 20 meters), and Accretion stuns through Fade timing. Mei Ice Wall blocks Moira escape routes and freeze catches her if Fade is on cooldown.
Moira sits at B Tier right now with a 47.6% win rate and 26.0% pick rate across all ranks. Solid but not dominant. Works well in the right hands and team comps.
Burn Fade first. Throw a flashbang, grenade, or any CC at Moira to force her Fade early. Then wait 6 seconds and commit to the kill. Without Fade she's completely exposed. Outranging her also works since Biotic Grasp beam only reaches 20 meters and her damage orb is easy to dodge in open space.
Short effective range. Biotic Grasp beam reaches 20 meters max, and her damage drops off past that. Moira has no burst damage either. Her sustained output is consistent but can't kill targets who receive any healing. She also lacks any utility beyond raw healing and damage, no CC, no cleanse, no speed boost.
Sigma plays entirely outside Biotic Grasp range behind Experimental Barrier. Accretion stuns Moira mid-Fade if timed right. Orisa Fortify ignores her damage entirely and javelin pins her against walls. Zarya can bait Fade with a bubble pop then burst her in the open.
Pharah plays above Biotic Grasp range and rockets Moira from angles she can't reach. Soldier: 76 out-damages her at mid-range where her beam falls off. Sombra hack cancels Fade and leaves her grounded with no escape.
Baptiste Amplification Matrix lets your team burst Moira before Fade activates. Ana can't be auto-tracked by Moira if she plays from range, and anti-nade stops Moira self-heal. Zenyatta Discord on Moira makes her 200 HP disappear fast.
