Lt. Morales is a Ranged Support Hero, based on the medic unit of the StarCraft universe.[1]

Background[]

Lt. Rosa Morales joined the United Earth Directorate (UED) to make a difference and protect her family. Over a very long and storied career, she has distinguished herself as a peerless medic, able to keep her patients alive and in the fight long after anyone else would have gone down. Lt. Morales is a veteran of the Brood War, and even the destruction of the UED Expeditionary Fleet didn’t slow her down. In the Nexus, she does what she does best: heal her teammates, support her allies, and make a difference.[2]

Gameplay Summary[]

  • Sustained presence if partnered with strong attacker or defender
  • Can vastly improve other hero with Stim Drone, and can even stack multiple effects onto single hero
  • Can switch lanes, escape, engage with a group of heroes by using Medivac Dropship

Weaknesses[]

  • Limited and tricky crowd control with Displacement Grenade
  • Has no potential on soloing anything, including siege, waveclear or dueling

Tips[]

Matchups[]

Pairings[]

The Butcherplate
Boasting from the highest single target healing in the game, Lt. MoralesHealing Beam and Safeguard are perfect to keep The Butcher alive while he charges into the enemy team. Additionally, her Stim Drone makes The Butcher drastically stronger. Her entire kit fits The Butcher with perfection.


Gul'danplate
Similar to Malfurion, Lt. Morales’s high single-target healing keeps Gul'dan fueled and able to put out a lot of damage over a long period of time with little regard to managing his Mana.


Medivhplate
Lt. Morales’ healing potential is practically unmatched, but as most players have quickly learned, she is pretty easy to kill if caught out. Force of Will is great at mitigating incoming burst damage, and even the most dive-happy team will have to think twice about the resources they commit to killing Lt. Morales with Medivh by her side.


Effective against[]

Effective foes[]

The Butcherplate
While Lt. Morales is a powerful healer, she lacks the proper self-sustain and movement options to defend against aggressive gankers like The Butcher, who can easily isolate her from the rest of the team and pin her down with Lamb to the Slaughter.
