Highlights
A new highlight intro for Moira in Overwatch 2, called Power Emanates, hilariously mocks the trend of Moira players focusing on DPS rather than healing.
Overwatch 2 Season 6: Invasion boasts the largest collection of seasonal content yet, including an array of fresh additions such as a new hero, maps, game modes, and exciting PvE content.
Illari, the latest support hero, presents a potential rival to Moira's damage prowess, as initial reports indicate a playstyle more inclined towards DPS rather than healing.
Overwatch 2 introduced a comedic highlight intro mocking the concept of DPS Moira. Although not currently accessible in the game, this new cosmetic will be added to the shop during Overwatch 2's upcoming season.
With the arrival of Invasion, Overwatch 2's sixth season, the game has witnessed its largest release of seasonal content to date. This includes the introduction of a new hero, several maps and game modes, and the introduction of PvE content. With the latest season, Overwatch 2 has officially concluded its Early Access phase.
Overwatch 2 Season 6: Invasion introduces fresh cosmetics and customizations for its characters, including a highlight intro for Moira called Power Emanates. This amusing snapshot showcases Moira holding both her Biotic Orbs momentarily, before humorously discarding the healing orb in favor of a second purple damaging orb. This cleverly calls out the tendency of some Moira players to prioritize dealing damage over healing, rather than focusing on their supportive role.
While the meme of support characters neglecting their team to inflict damage applies to all Overwatch 2 heroes in the support role, Moira stands out as a particularly significant example due to her notably high damage output. The excessive emphasis on DPS Moira has posed a significant challenge throughout Overwatch 2's history, and despite multiple adjustments, she still often surpasses other support characters in terms of damage potential.
With that being said, Illari, the latest support hero in Overwatch 2, seems to be a formidable competitor for Moira. Illari's kit boasts a significant amount of damage potential, including a highly impactful ultimate ability that focuses solely on dealing damage, without any healing capabilities. Initial reports suggest that Illari plays more like a damage dealer than a traditional healer, which means that players will have to observe how the meta adjusts to this new support hero in the upcoming weeks.
In any case, players were thoroughly entertained by the latest highlight intro featuring Moira. Both fans and critics of Moira agreed that it accurately portrays the playstyle of many Overwatch 2 heroes, leaving players eager to obtain this new cosmetic. Regrettably, "Power Emanates" is not included in the Overwatch 2 Season 6 Battle Pass and is currently unavailable for purchase in the shop. However, players can anticipate the arrival of this amusing Moira highlight intro at some point during Season 6. It remains uncertain whether it will be sold separately or as part of an unannounced bundle centered around Moira.
Overwatch 2 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
