Hey everyone! I'm a Moira main on console and I would like some advice on how to climb to high gold/low plat (maybe even higher haha). My recent comp game made me feel like I was working harder than I usually do, which was fun! It also incentivized this post since I usually don't get many games like it; I feel that it might be a better indicator of my strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, the code is 1H29J4 and I'm the Moira playing on the blue team :)

so the first thing I look at when looking at vods is team comp. You said you where a moira main, so If she is your best hero, she can work in this comp. However, you must take into account what playstyle to use when looking at your own team comp and then theirs. Because you have two main healers (not to be confused with the Main Support role) you do not need to be a "heal bot" moira. your ana can do most healing, with you contributing when you can. Almost everyone in your team is mobile, so it may be hard to heal them if you play too defensive. I havent watched the vod yet but I want you to play aggressive (dps focused), but calculated. Try to position yourself to pressure squishes with your monkey, genji, and doom, and use fade to escape (you may get away with fading into backlines at this rank, but just be careful of stuns and your orb cooldown).

first off, you are in a decent position, in range of both the other team and your team. but because they dont need an aggressive pocket, use your orb to dps, its free ult charge. just play around defense matrix and you will build ult so much faster.
also your actions per minute is quite low. try to max ur apm while playing moira. if youre not healing, always be weaving in your dps. When you dps, you get more heal juice and you can sustain fights for so much longer.
moira is all about pummping out those good good heals and dps to sustain a tempo and then win a fight with an early ultimate. if someone is 75% health and not actively dying (ex behind a wall or shield) you actually dont need to heal them immediately. you can try and dps, then heal. this will get you utl charge from heals plus whatever you dpsed.
i dont have time for many indiviual notes bc i gtg, but from just the first fight you can also work on dynamic positioning. Yes you play core, but after your ana gets picked, you seperate from core and look for who killed her. it would be better to notice, stick with team, then push as 5
even if it was a tracer in the backline, you can take the 5v5 (tracer is still in old backline) and probably win. Moira is good at being a pest to flankers bc of her range, forcing them to get health packs
oh dynamic positioning is not only following your team but addapitng to the other team's playstyles. if they are high ground, play oppoisite side of hut
