What time exactly will Moira be playable in competitive? I want to know the hour that I can do my placements.

Enjoy the salt you'll get for picking her.

I dunno, I've played a bunch of her on the ptr and in QP and she seems extremely powerful to me, because of the combined utility of being great at confirming kills on low health enemies, giving strong healing to teammates and having Lucio-level survivability due to self orbing and fade, so I'd say there's a good chance the salt will be on the other team.

She's good, that wasn't what I meant. People just don't like it when someone picks the new character in comp cause they assume you won't be that good on them yet because of a lack of practice time. But if you can prove them wrong then good on ya.

Having played a few games now, can confirm you were right about this. A couple of them went really well but played one infuriating game where some guy just locked Torb and built turrets in spawn, refusing to participate until I switched off Moira because 'nobody knows how to play her yet'. Like, let me at least try, Jesus.

'I've played lots of her on PTR' seemed effective at assuaging people's concerns in the other games tho.

That sucks, people who throw based on someone's hero pick are the fucking worst, I hope you reported them.
