I just stumbled by chance over the Moira profile and saw that she and a bunch of other overwatch characters are listed as "Subsonic with Massively Hypersonic+ reactions and combat speed".
Now this kind of notation is something I have seen in the past on a few profiles as well (Not that I would recall which ones...), so I wanted to talk about it in general.
Thing is, which kind of Speed is the "Subsonic" here?
I always thought, that the speed stat, without further remarks of what it is, is the combat speed.
That is, because I always understood the line "The term "Speed" normally refers to Combat Speed." on the Speed page, as meaning that without further specification what stands in the speed stat is the combat speed.
It also makes the most sense for me that way, since combat speed is the most relevant speed for battles and sets a baseline for reaction and attack speed.
You can see why I would have a problem with formulations of the speed stat as above.
In my understanding what is standing there is "Subsonic combat speed with Massively Hypersonic+ reactions and combat speed", meaning two different values for combat speed are mentioned.
That of course doesn't make much sense.
Am I wrong in my interpretation?
What kind of speed do you guys take the not further specified speed stat for?
