An Overwatch 2 player has shared a funny clip in which a Moira scares an enemy Genji into using their Ultimate ability. Many Overwatch 2 players hold their Ultimate abilities until an opportune moment that earns the most eliminations, but this Genji panicked thanks to Moira.
When Overwatch 2 was released, it carried the original hero roster forward with some characters seeing more changes than others in the transition. Since then, new heroes like Ramattra, Mauga, and Venture have been added, changing the game’s meta in the process. Beyond the odd season where new heroes are overpowered, many players stick to a main hero to maximize their potential in any match. Moira remains a powerful Support hero, while Overwatch 2‘s Genji requires players to effectively utilize each ability, including his wall climbing passive. One Genji player has been caught using their Ultimate ability after a well-timed Emote from Moira.

Overwatch 2 Should Takes Notes From Marvel Rivals’ Jeff the Land Shark
With Overwatch 2’s newest hero garnering mixed reactions, Blizzard should consider looking to Marvel Rivals’ Jeff the Land Shark and his fans.
Reddit user Hummusfrog recently shared an Overwatch 2 clip highlighting a hilarious interaction between their Moira and an enemy Genji. The video begins with Moira healing in the direction of an allied Orisa before they spot an enemy Genji hiding in a corner. Potentially trying to form a truce, the Overwatch 2 Support hero says hello to the Genji who reciprocates with their own greeting. Both player’s teams seemingly ignore their interaction and remain focused on the objective while it continues. Moira then uses the “Boo” Halloween Emote, which shows her slowly walking away from the Genji before lunging back towards him with a jumpscare. Genji then uses his Dragonblade Ultimate ability, jumps, and slices Moira three times, leading to her elimination.
This Overwatch 2 Genji May Have Wasted Their Ultimate on Moira
As the clip concludes before Genji’s Ultimate ability does, it’s unclear if the enemy was able to eliminate any more players. Considering the Dragonblade only lasts 6 seconds and Moira took up most of its duration, the Ultimate likely only had one victim. Given that this Moira had the Ancient Caller Overwatch 2 Season 9 Mythic skin, the Genji may have been spooked by its combination with the Boo Emote. Some players think that this is an effective use of Moira’s Boo Emote, while others simply want to see Genji’s point of view.
Others also pointed out the fact that Moira was able to withstand two Dragonblade strikes, with some suggesting that the Damage hero needs a buff. While Overwatch players have been panic-ulting since the first game, this is an especially amusing example of the phenomenon. As Blizzard continues to update Overwatch 2, perhaps Genji will see some changes, though it is hard to imagine any adjustments saving this player from a wasted ultimate.
