[SPOILERS] New Hero Lifeweaver Discussion and Leaks

[agile raptor]

I WONDER

HOW THE ABILITY

interacts with cast stuff

CAN I CANCEL MY MOIRA OUT OF HER COAL

[spare moss]

that’s in niandras short they posted in the patches channel

[agile raptor]

the what?

oh

[spare moss]

mobile moment

[pearl ember]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0ZZkZZFQfrY / https://www.tiktok.com/@niandra_ow/video/7218256135470599430

[primal valve]

LETSGO i have a way to sandbag!!!!

you love to see it

[agile raptor]

hey niandra can I hold on the grip button so it casts as soon as it’s off cooldown

[pearl ember]

I am not sure! I can test this when I finish playing OW2 with Tom and Panda

[agile raptor]

or like, as soon as someone comes in range

[pearl ember]

.remind here 3h @pearl ember check interaction

oh the bot can't be in here

[agile raptor]

🙏 I’m more curious about seeing if I can hold it until someone is in range

[vagrant sage]

And its literally his ENTIRE kit. Well...almost.

Life Grab: Ability to roadhog hook your teammates is already concerning. The ability p much speaks for itself.

Petal elevator: Lets name a few ways:

Elevating D.va bombs to kill your team, elevating ulting characters out of position so their ult becomes worthless, elevating a sneaking teammate and giving away their position. And those are just ways off the top of my head

Ultimate: Can be used to straight up block off your teammates like meis wall or even trap them where enemies are.

And his passive: can straight up heal the enemy team.

Like Lifeweaver can literally be played like a traitor.

[agile raptor]

bless thank you

[rapid yacht]

Can tree be healed?

By bap or someone

[vagrant sage]

I doubt it since buildings or constructs by a player have never been able to be healed. BOB doesnt count because he's seen as a whole other "character"

[agile raptor]

wiat I’m sorry one more thing, can I hold life grip on my rezzing mercy so that I can use it the frame she stops rezzing?

too many questions, not enough means to test

[dark forge]

https://fxtwitter.com/Aspen_OW/status/1643312736972197888?s=20 lmaooo

yeah they're gonna have to do the thing with hammond where his grab starts on cooldown

[steep jungle]

Okay his voice isn’t as bad as I thought it would be whew

[rapid yacht]

They're gonna have to nerf that, that's Mei walling spawn but worse

[dark forge]

I love his voice/interactions

[steep jungle]

It’s pretty nice

I think his kit is bloated

Otherwise pretty nice

[agile raptor]

new ow heroes suffer from “can do five different things at once”

[dark forge]

mhm

not that it's necessarily bad, it's just that old heroes are there like

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-spongebob-coffee-sad-gif-16525719

[agile raptor]

moira

[steep jungle]

Abso-fucking lutely

And not even the new ones—bap is a prime example

[dark forge]

it helps to obviously generate hype and attention, but old heroes get left out cause they simply get outclassed

[agile raptor]

if you see someone swap to moira it’s because they’re a mercy main whose comfort swap is that hero or they’re someone who has gotten dived 17 different times and someone took kiriko

i wish moira was better

[steep jungle]

I can accept bloated movesets for tanks, as they have to do the job of two tanks, but dps and support do not need moves like Sojourn E or Kiri Suzu

Like JQ and Ram work really well as tanks with bloated movesets

But Sojourn and Kiri are not it

[pearl ember]

I really hope they do the thing with Bap where switching heroes doesn't reset the cooldown

[dark forge]

yeah same

[steep jungle]

And lifeweaver’s pull thingy should not be needed lmao

[dark forge]

eh it's funny

[steep jungle]

His abilities look gorgeous tho

[steep jungle]

It’s funny until it happens to you

[dark forge]

not if I instalock everygame

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[gentle flint]

i feel fear

[dark forge]

but nah I get your point

[steep jungle]

Remind me to never q with you /s

[dark forge]

😦

I mean I'm on console anyways so-

[vagrant sage]

Blizzard never fails to overload the kits of all their new heros

Hm, make that most of them

[steep jungle]

True but most of the heroes have kits that flow well together

Like ball is bloated but his moveset is integral to him being ya know, a ball

Brig is bloated but her moveset flows into itself (like packs stacking with inspire)

It’s centralized around their form of weaponry

Meanwhile we have bap who has a random lamp and window and lifeweaver with that pull mechanic

[vagrant sage]

You're saying Lifeweavers kit doesnt look like it flows?

Ah

[steep jungle]

The lotus platform, his passive, his ult, and his m1/m2 do flow nicely!

[vagrant sage]

I mean I feel like pull can flow with the petal elevator by pulling teammates onto high ground

[steep jungle]

But that pull move is out of place

Ehhhh

[dark forge]

It still kind of fits in terms of repositioning his team

[vagrant sage]

Or you see someone critical pull them up onto the platform with decent cover and heal them up

[dark forge]

I get your point, but I kind of disagree

I just feel like bloated kits become an issue when it seems as if the hero can do everything.
Like Lifeweaver has obvious flaws of very low healing and subpar damage., but he has very high utility. However then you look at release kiriko who had mobility, damage and heals

[steep jungle]

I can see what y’all are getting at, but I still feel like his pull is unneeded

[vagrant sage]

It does feel like someone at blizzard went "What if, Lifeweaver can save people from being booped or overextending?" and blizzard just went with it.

[steep jungle]

It’s like—it feels like the move’s going to be used outside of how it was intended to be used

[vagrant sage]

I mean, thats just a given since its been done with many other abilites.

[dark forge]

It seems like lifeweaver is gonna require a lot of communication/game sense to be used without tilting your team

[steep jungle]

Like how Kiri was meant to be like “a character who can be there for you in the blink of an eye” but instead it’s a “allows kiri to flank and do whatever she wants then tp back out as a getaway card”

[vagrant sage]

See, you cant really control how people use a hero

[dark forge]

I mean that can go for a few more heroes

different playstyles come

[vagrant sage]

Ive met battle mercys that managed to dominate all match and zenyattas that frontlined and got 3-4ks

And honestly, im fine with people being creative with heros.

[dark forge]

can even go down to more basic to like bap/ana being more aggresive w/ their damage and abilities as opposed to more of a healbot style

[vagrant sage]

No one should really have to play a hero one way as long as its not hurting the team

[steep jungle]

I get it

But that pull move is gonna suck to play with

[loud ledge]

if I die and I look over to see my mercy pistoling I'm gonna be a little upset...

[vagrant sage]

Yeah, weve been over that.

[dark forge]

I mean I never said all playstyles are good

just that there are different ways

some... less effective than others

I do hope that they add an option to cancel with interact or something

[vagrant sage]

Maybe blizzard will fine tune it to make it less painful to play with or maybe they'll totally rework it

[steep jungle]

I’m hoping for the latter

[vagrant sage]

Actually i just had a thought: What if He could use it to pull people's souls closer so mercy can rez?

[steep jungle]

On paper it can work

But in execution it completely interrupts gameplay

[dark forge]

He has a lot of potential with the ability, but in terms of getting the maximum value it will be hard at low-mid elo with a lack of good communication

[steep jungle]

I’m moreso thinking of what if he accidentally cancels mercy rez by bringing her to him 😭

[primal valve]

he can't

[dark forge]

according to ski, mercy can't get pulled ye

[vagrant sage]

I know he cant

[steep jungle]

Okay good

[dark forge]

his platform could be used to help rez

[vagrant sage]

it was mainly a concept when I was thinking of reworking it

[dark forge]

specifically with the person getting rezzed

like if they're in a bad position getting them to high ground (or just pulling them ig) could work

[vagrant sage]

oh wait, was Klaus responding to me or..?

[dark forge]

was responding to rain

[vagrant sage]

ah

[arctic surge]

i had a clip where i was 2hp on echo going back to my supports asking for healing and somewhere my mercy is trying to pistol diff the enemy mercy😭

[steep jungle]

See then there’s the problem of like, people getting tilted—with smth like kiri suzu it’s okay if you fuck up cause it’s just a missed cooldown and it doesn’t interrupt gameplay. But with weaver’s pull you kind of irritate players because it actively disrupts your teammate’s gameplay

[primal valve]

girlboss let her cook

[arctic surge]

so true

[steep jungle]

And it’s a lot more notable when a weaver messes up than when a kiri messes up

[steep jungle]

Had a mercy who stood still dmg boosting a widow against tracer in our backline

[vagrant sage]

One of the silver linings i see with this ability is that its 20 seconds CD

[steep jungle]

And then she got pulsed :3

[vagrant sage]

so he wont be fucking with you that often

[arctic surge]

girlboss queen

while i am not super pessimistic of the grip ability i am absolutely terrified of my friends playing this guy

[primal valve]

Me I'm friends

[steep jungle]

I like how kiri’s all like “I’m coming over there and you’re gonna like it” while weaver’s like “YOU’RE coming over HERE and you’re gonna like it”

[arctic surge]

i am going to be inting by force on cooldown

[vagrant sage]

I just realized: its like a reverse GA

[dark forge]

Is it bad that I laughed at this?

but yeh

[primal valve]

I'm so happy that out of all my support main friends I'm the only one who isn't a mercy main so I'll always get to play him in my games

[steep jungle]

Whaaaat there’s nothing bad about laughing about it

It’s a joke 😭

[dark forge]

ig the only real thing I can say to it is that as more people play and learn the hero they'll know the timing on when you want to be pulled or not. Still might be an issue for lower ranks

[dark forge]

idk just makes me sound like an entitled support lol

[vagrant sage]

I will say though, something tells me hes going to suck for those playing in total mayhem but like, people dont really care about that gamemode so....

[steep jungle]

I AM an entitled support

I support you

[dark forge]

lmaoo

[dark forge]

Pull on a 5 second cooldown

[steep jungle]

Also one very minor thing that irks me personally is that the pull thing doesn’t really play into the “lotus flower motif” he’s got going on :c

[dark forge]

forces of nature are very demanding

[steep jungle]

Orisa but if she made you stay behind her shield in ow1

[arctic surge]

"you are safe now :) please do not resist :)"

[vagrant sage]

Guys what if: Pull was AOE?

[dark forge]

LMAOO

ok THAT I would have major issues on

[steep jungle]

Imagine if lifeweaver pulled everyone to him and then they all get graved 😭 😭 😭

[arctic surge]

i think maybe it would have fit more if it was like a root or vine

[dark forge]

pulls entire team into ilios well

team kill

[arctic surge]

group hug :)

express ticket to spawn

[steep jungle]

OH and his passive

[arctic surge]

i dont like his passive

[vagrant sage]

Its just when you mentioned old orisa, I thought of Halt but it affects teammates

[dark forge]

his passive is... strange

[arctic surge]

kill the support to win a prize!

[dark forge]

fits the character surprsingly well... doesn't work well fundamentaly by healing the enemy tho...

[primal valve]

collect the little balls to win a prize!

[vagrant sage]

His passive would be fine if it instead debuffed the enemy in some way

[steep jungle]

What if his team gets blossomed, the team almost kills the reaper, but lifeweaver dies, leaving the flower that replenishes the reaper so the reaper ends up killing the rest of the team 😭

[vagrant sage]

Like you killed him but he can still fuck you over from beyond the grave

[arctic surge]

inting in style

[vagrant sage]

like junkrat

[arctic surge]

the junkrat way?

OH

[dark forge]

lifeweaver is so fun

[primal valve]

me

[vagrant sage]

Like say the flower gravitates towards enimes and does something like: reduce their ult charge by X percent

[agile raptor]

Kinda messed up the enemy team can kill lifeweaver and get healing but I can’t kill the lifeweaver on my team

[steep jungle]

I want my other support to go lifeweaver and pull me to impossible places as ana

[arctic surge]

you can totally get your team killed you just have to believe!

[dark forge]

see the thing is getting a good lifeweaver will be very good

but a bad one is very bad

like a lot more than other heroes

[vagrant sage]

Feed or Famine hero

I think thats the correct term

Feast*

[arctic surge]

feast or famine but i like feed better

[dark forge]

like lifeweaver can really help ana in terms of peel and getting to high ground

[arctic surge]

especially in this context

[dark forge]

and ana helps lifeweaver's issue in low healing

[vagrant sage]

Like I said, life grab is good in concept but I dont see it being truly balanced in execution

[agile raptor]

God I cannot wait to play to him

[vagrant sage]

Like no matter what you do to it, it will always have the potential to fuck over your teammate

Kinda like how you cant really change Ice wall to not totally screw your teammate

[dark forge]

welp, that's overwatch for you

[vagrant sage]

But also not making it totally broken

[grand maple]

I think communicate will effect it

[dark forge]

yeah

[grand maple]

I wish there was more voicelines for shit

[dark forge]

I think w/ out communication you will have to use it very cautiously

so like I'd only pull out my tank if they were like critical

not to just be petty and stop them from overextending

[grand maple]

I wish you could set voicelines for characters and they switch around when people play the characters you have voicelines for

like requesting db, things like taht

[vagrant sage]

When someone mentioned a confirm menu for the teammate you're pulling I immediately thought of a giant friend request like menu that says LIFEWEAVER WANTS TO GRAB YOU! DO YOU ACCEPT?

[dark forge]

Ig you can think of it like mercy where you shouldn't heal <50% targets, a certain threshold in your head where you know they'll live

[vagrant sage]

You know maybe it would be better if life grab only affected people with x% of hp left

[grand maple]

But I mean like requesting it

like a "May I have nano?" voiceline towards an ana

[dark forge]

see but then it stops strategical plays like moving an ulting pharah or reaper to get more kills like you see in one of the vids the devs posted about lifeweaver

[vagrant sage]

Or if it affected people that are actively falling but i dont know how you would detect that

[raven jewel]

People saying the grab is gonna be trolling wait until they release a hero who can deal dmg to a team

[vagrant sage]

How about a hero that can CC your team?

Fuck it just turn friendly fire on

[grand maple]

I mean considering cass couldn't roll while in the air, they definitely can tell when people are airborne

[dark forge]

uh guys our mercy is killing me in spawn

[grand maple]

HAHA

[dark forge]

wait imagine dva bomb

[vagrant sage]

RIP

[dark forge]

everyone just fucking runs

[grand maple]

old dva that would do dmg to dva

[vagrant sage]

Reminds me of the days when Dvas bomb could kill dva

So ulting was literally suicide

[grand maple]

NERF THIS ! sprinting

[vagrant sage]

Something i wanted to touch upon was that Lifeweavers ult is a bit underwhelming imo

[grand maple]

dva dying to her own bomb was funny cuz of the highlight intros where she takes selfies

like knowing she died after that picture 😭

[grand maple]

mhm

[vagrant sage]

Its just, generic AOE heal

I thought it was going to do something like how kriko speeds up your cooldowns or bap doubles your damage and healing

Now what would make it interesting is if it lasted until destroyed.

[grand maple]

yeah that sounds annoying

ulting the tree

HAMMER DOWN and the tree gets cut down 😭

[vagrant sage]

Would make more sense if Rein was using one of the skins with an axe

[grand maple]

yesss that's what i was thinking of

[vagrant sage]

Then again, what more can you do with support ultimates that isnt either some form of AOE healing, damage buffing, or move speed buffing?

[grand maple]

dmg 😈

[dark forge]

I'm gonna try and use my ult as more of the blocking aspect wherever I can

so like blocking dva bombs

protecting the team after getting graved or something

[vagrant sage]

Grow a tree on reaper as he ults, so his death blossom literally blossoms into a tree.

[dark forge]

omg yess haha

I'm pretty sure it also goes through barriers too

the healing

and also the burst 150 is pretty decent

[primal valve]

it does

[grand maple]

mhm

[vagrant sage]

I thought it doesnt, but it can go over barriers

[dark forge]

I feel like you might have to use it for the healing as well as just more natural cover

[grand maple]

imagine protecting the tree with sym wall

[primal valve]

no it goes through them

[vagrant sage]

this made me think of a new voiceline for junkrat: "I got the feeling they have a Tree somewhere"

[dark forge]

NO STOPP

[dark forge]

giant ass tree sticking out
The team: Really? Really? I wonder where you got that impression?

[vagrant sage]

I wonder if it will be more worth it to try to destroy the tree or just wait it out.

[grand maple]

I thought you had to break it

[spare moss]

it lasts 15 seconds

[vagrant sage]

No it only lasts for like 6 seconds?

oh

[stuck mountain]

yea its a good bit

[vagrant sage]

Tree of life with zen ulting in the middle of it

PASS INTO THE FOREST

[dark forge]

Wait I just realised

Lifeweaver can taxi people

[agile raptor]

tree of life ngl just seems like something i would use to block incoming damage/get a burst heal on a crit ally

[vagrant sage]

TRUE.

But i feel like using a 20 second cd like that doesnt seem very worth it.

[dull juniper]

Is his cute revealed?

[dark forge]

Trueb

[dark forge]

yess.... If you can call him cute

[rapid yacht]

Heroes Weave will make really bad:

• Orisa
• Reaper
• Mei
  Heroes Weave could make good:
• Junker Queen BAYBEE LES GOOOOO

Junker Queen gonna be best hero in the GAME

Junker Queen is best hero

And she'll only get better

[scarlet sundial]

https://youtu.be/n6vKRWcABoU

a lil interview that digs into him more!

[rapid yacht]

Also imma say it: Lifeweaver's origin story isn't anywhere close to the quality of Sigma's

[dull juniper]

I mean the trophy😭

[scarlet sundial]

to be fair sigma’s is probably the best origin story

[rapid yacht]

True, I just want an origin story that surpasses Sigma's

[rapid yacht]

Hm?

[pearl ember]

@agile raptor You can hold down Life Grip while it's on cooldown to use it once it's available again

I am not sure if you can walk into range holding it down though

[rapid yacht]

Ooo it can be buffered? Awesome!

[agile raptor]

ooo nice ty!!

[grand maple]

omg

oof

[pearl ember]

Sorrry to be picky, would you mind posting these in #1092889774219595908 since they're technically a leak?

[scarlet sundial]

OH YEAH SORRY

[pearl ember]

No worries!!

[scarlet sundial]

I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS A CHANNEL

mbmb

[rapid yacht]

This might be an obvious question, but can Weave use pull to extend Queen's ult distance?

[pearl ember]

Hmm, I would assume so

I have already closed OW so I can't test but Emongg did a video on hero interactions and might have it there!

[rapid yacht]

If he can, Junker Queen may just be amazing with Weave

[pearl ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbuwmPZ9HiE

[dull juniper]

Where can i find his highlight intros?

Cuz look

[rapid yacht]

Checked it, only tested if he can negate ult with lift and if carnage gets bleed with lift, sadge ;-;

[dull juniper]

I LOV THEM PLS

[pearl ember]

I don't think we are allowed to show highlight intros

wait what symm skin is that

[dull juniper]

Ow default😭😭

[rapid yacht]

Isn't that her default ow2 skin?

[pearl ember]

her dress looks white here

Oh never mind, I'm just dumb sorry

it makes snese

[scarlet sundial]

ik a lot of people don’t like his pull ability but it can save someone from a lot of diff ults

mei, doom, orisa, zarya, sigma, etc

[rapid yacht]

Tbf, you can pull people into those ults

[scarlet sundial]

also true

hopefully people don’t troll as much w him to the point they remove it

bc i rlly like the ability

plus he can pick people up from spawn lol

[pearl ember]

I like the ideas mentioned earlier of:

• Player can cancel their grip mid pull by pressing F
• Don't reset the cooldown of grip if you switch of Weave and back to him

[blazing palm]

i am sad lifeweaver isn’t a main healer

[rapid yacht]

I'm personally glad

Utility supports > healers

[scarlet sundial]

his concept art

[steep jungle]

yeah I agree with sera

the flower's kinda...

eh

[inland chasm]

I feel the flower is there for the sole purpose of helping with the silhouette being distinguishable from a distance

[grand maple]

HE HAS HIS GRIPPERS OUT???

also is he like robotic or are those external things

[grand maple]

I feel like if you give him certain colour pallette and remove the flower and he could look like moira from afar

[dull juniper]

Ig this loons better than the one i made earlier

[grand maple]

ooo

[rapid yacht]

My biggest fear with Weave is that he'll make Junker Queen unfun. I predict Queen's playstyle will be Rampage pull

And I hope that's not all Queen becomes when Weave is out

Tho carnage pull would be fun

[dull juniper]

Ya ig it depends on how good u r

Also i think his ult should only be used to save teammates. Just like some ana mains use their nano.

Also maybe to block damage

But idk

[rapid yacht]

Isn't that what tree of life does?

Also because of Weave's passive I'm expecting him to be really bad

Like

Worse than genji bad

Like throw pick bad

His healing is way too slow and bad and his abilities have a really long cooldown tho they can easily be done wrong. At best I feel Weave will be used for lift and nothing else

Though pull could be good as a pseudo suzu

But suzu does what pull does but better

Also pull looks to put your teammate behind you, making healing them kinda clunky

Those are my "brain is fried for some reason" thoughts

[scarlet sundial]

yeah they really need to buff his healing

[dull juniper]

That’s why he’s a support. He isn’t a main healer like ana or bap

[dull juniper]

I really wanna see his cute sprayyy

[dark forge]

[atomic mantle]

right its the only part of his concept that hints towards his abilities

which isnt a bad thing- it works

but if you remove the back flower... you would not be able to really guess what he does

[steep jungle]

Yeye

[atomic mantle]

which is arguably true for a lot of heros- but imo the flower is kind if

ignorable to my eye idk

[steep jungle]

I felt like it made his silhouette look…

Bulky?

[stuck mountain]

His really big for a support

but I really enjoy that

[steep jungle]

Yeah it’s a breath of fresh air to see a support that isn’t small

[stuck mountain]

I am noticing atleast I am happy he doesnt buff teammates massively

like suzu and kitsune did hope that keeps him in line

[dark forge]

true

I really like how they made him like how sym differentiated herself when she was a support; a lot less focus on healing and more on utility

[stuck mountain]

its great finally seeing a builder support that isnt just sym turrets but they heal

[dark forge]

cause I feel like his healing is more comparable to zen quantity wise than say brig or lucio

[dark forge]

yep

[stuck mountain]

the biggest change I can see happen is maybe them nerfing the platform hp

so there a way to counter it with less focus fire

[dark forge]

yeah potentially

[stuck mountain]

only major thing I have seen is people really upset he can save people from pits

which I get if it wasnt on a 18 sec cooldown

[atomic mantle]

Ive seen more people upset that he can kill people woth pits

[dark forge]

same haha

[stuck mountain]

I just follow too many lucio players lol

[dark forge]

appearantly they've brought in preventions for this

how effective they actually are in practice tho... we'll see

[dark forge]

lucio players always complain about other supports lol

[stuck mountain]

real

there gonna be some weird exploit

I expect the pull to have weird stuff it does to players like a hog hook

aka I can see if his pull get cancel the teammates flung super far

[dark forge]

yeah it's gonna be very janky

at least on release

[stuck mountain]

its gonna be a joy to watch

[dark forge]

first 2 weeks are gonna be so chaotic haha

[stuck mountain]

but random do you guys think his the mercy style support?

[steep jungle]

As a lucio player it’s more like the other way around

[atomic mantle]

Im so excited to hook stormy off the map

[steep jungle]

I’ve had anas flame me when they’re in the frontlines dying to rein swings 😭

[atomic mantle]

get out of here frog

[steep jungle]

Nevah

[atomic mantle]

also arent u an ana player????

[dark forge]

I'm talking mainly twitter here haha

[arctic surge]

of course the lucio player says that

[steep jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/neiguex-based-gif-21892118

[atomic mantle]

LIES AND DECEIT

[dark forge]

lmaoo

[steep jungle]

You’ll never take me alive!!

Also I play everyone

[arctic surge]

i am excited for the chaos w lifeweaver

[steep jungle]

Ana, Lucio, and Mercy are my top 3 mains

[arctic surge]

it's what he would want

[dark forge]

tbh, I don't think I've been more hyped for a hero

[stuck mountain]

Imagine going on dumb flanks as ana couldnt be me

[arctic surge]

yeah ive never seen an ana in the enemy backline

[stuck mountain]

Ana has this energy to her she makes you try to do cool stuff

[steep jungle]

Ana in the enemy backline:

[arctic surge]

it's to make grandma proud

[steep jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-gun-death-blackscreen-onemorething-gif-22189372

[arctic surge]

when they let her nano herself it's over

[stuck mountain]

ok so like april fools ana

holy

I get why she cant headshot

[arctic surge]

unironically worse than my mercy flanks

[dark forge]

thing is I play ana so I don't have to headshot xD

but yeah she basically gets a guaranteed kill w/ a crit modifier on sleep

and can oneshot headshot widow with mercy pocket

honestly you could just play widow-ana-mercy on havana lmaoo

[stuck mountain]

ashe mercy is dead we do ana mercy now

[steep jungle]

Sigma double sniper ana zen is cancerous

On havana

[stuck mountain]

Circuit Royal moment

[steep jungle]

And circuit royale

[arctic surge]

wow sniper maps gaming

[stuck mountain]

ow should give sniper a passive they are removed from the game on sniper maps

[dark forge]

*all maps

[steep jungle]

Day6969 of me saying that one shots don’t belong in overwatch and must be removed

[stuck mountain]

Passive: Isnt playable

[dark forge]

ow players suddenly skyrocket in numbers

[arctic surge]

widow mains in shambles

[stuck mountain]

Game of the year every year

[dark forge]

mhm

[steep jungle]

The world would be a better place without widow/hanzo/sojourn 😤

[arctic surge]

we can keep handdough just give him a shortbow

or take away his arrows just bow

[steep jungle]

Give him an actual ammo count

[dark forge]

he only punches now

[steep jungle]

And make him reload after every single arrow

[arctic surge]

i always keep reloading on hanzo anyway

[stuck mountain]

He uses a blade again

he got over his bs

[arctic surge]

new update: hanzo goes to therapy

[dark forge]

make his reload 2 minutes to handcraft every arrow

oh and he also stands still whilst reloading

[arctic surge]

i agree completely

and he also takes a snack break

[stuck mountain]

Arrow building mini game

[arctic surge]

makes some tea

[stuck mountain]

what hanzo can reload faster

[steep jungle]

Virgin OHKO Hanzo vs Chad sword hanzo so that you can run the “Shimada Bros.”

[dark forge]

I mean he has an emote for that anyways sooo

[stuck mountain]

new skill ceiling for hanzo

[dark forge]

It's a me, hanzo!

[loud ledge]

is his sushi emote still bugged where he can't get out of it

[steep jungle]

You have to collect sticks and string and then get a minecraft crafting table

[stuck mountain]

yea

[dark forge]

oh hey they're bringing back pre-rework torb hell yeah

[steep jungle]

And his bow gets 1 durability

[loud ledge]

LOL

[stuck mountain]

just gotta wait one cycle

[arctic surge]

just take away the bow keep the arrows

he throws them like orisa javelin

[opal pebble]

Hanzo plays darts

[arctic surge]

storm arrow is just him throwing a bunch of arrows with one hand

[steep jungle]

Hanzo swings his bow for 25 hp per swing

[arctic surge]

new hero

[steep jungle]

Hanzo: brig without the bulk and healing

[dark forge]

or the attractiveness

[arctic surge]

he could have the bulk

[stuck mountain]

Speaking of brig I noticed she has been missing from alot of s4 footage

[dark forge]

👀

[arctic surge]

i wonder if shes broken

[dark forge]

new ult

I mean I think she was briefly in the gameplay trailer

but yeah

[stuck mountain]

yea mostly thinking of the cc gameplay

[dark forge]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[stuck mountain]

like emong did a myth buster video and she was missing there too

its strange to say the least

[dark forge]

we need someone to leak brigs new ult

[stuck mountain]

who ready to ruin their relationship with blizzard for us

[dark forge]

@ niandra

[stuck mountain]

but hey if we get a new brig ult and hero that a good bit of new support content

[dark forge]

mhm

[arctic surge]

was anything mentioned about mercy numbers?

2.4 sec ga?

[stuck mountain]

no info on balence

I expect to see that be allowed later

[steep jungle]

I’m honestly very interested about new brig

[stuck mountain]

to keep focus on the fresh meat

[arctic surge]

aw i see

[dark forge]

again

keep "rally to me!"

pleease

idc if it's trash I just need that voiceline

[steep jungle]

“Mercy has been removed from Overwatch—permanently.”

[arctic surge]

friendship ended with mercy now lifeweaver is my best friend

[stuck mountain]

Lightweaver the new most popular hero ow is saved

[steep jungle]

“Your Mercy has evolved into Lifeweaver!”

[arctic surge]

then lightweaver better be getting an equivalent of the pink skin pigtails included

[steep jungle]

Also I like how they said they’re reducing visual clutter and Lifeweaver just plants a fucking tree on the map

[stuck mountain]

bro is the pink skin

[arctic surge]

pigtails!!!!

[arctic surge]

but he's environmentally friendly

[steep jungle]

Imagine if he planted the tree in a choke on king’s row but it blocks your rein so he dies on the other side of the tree 😭

[stuck mountain]

not to be mean but both supports added are visual clutter nightmares

[dark forge]

environmentally? sure. visually? eh.

[stuck mountain]

but I think the tree fine

since its a thing you deploy

[dark forge]

but imagine planting it whilst enemy team is regrouping with 15 seconds left

[stuck mountain]

not a effect

[dark forge]

like what can they do lol

[arctic surge]

they can suffer

(as i have)

[dark forge]

beat me to it lol

[steep jungle]

Oh I’m just being comedic lmao

[dark forge]

ik but yeh

[steep jungle]

Zen/Ram ults together is like discord light mode

[arctic surge]

me who uses light mode

[steep jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/lilo-and-stitch-disney-lilo-stitch-hiss-gif-3562813

[arctic surge]

ITS LITERALLY FINE

[dark forge]

NO IT AIN'T

IT'S WEIRD

[stuck mountain]

light mode accessibility

[arctic surge]

it's just white instead of dark gray!!!

[stuck mountain]

some straight up cant read with a dark background

[arctic surge]

does the overwatch menu hurt your eyes

[stuck mountain]

discord got rid of light mode as a joke

but it made the platform unusable for many

[steep jungle]

It’s not a white bg, so no 😭

[stuck mountain]

I remember the owl backgrounds

[arctic surge]

it's not that bad

[stuck mountain]

Idk how they want us to like esports when they hit people with a valorant flashbang

[steep jungle]

It’s bad.

[arctic surge]

you need stronger eyes rain

[arctic surge]

[stuck mountain]

Dont show rain a piece of paper with text

[steep jungle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/424699602713837579/702897395754860574/headout.gif

[stuck mountain]

it doesnt have dark mode

but I know this is why phones has the ability to inverse colors

so you can make stuff easier to read

[faint orchid]

also looking back to this tweet

they can just easily solve this problem by forcing a terrain check to where lifeweaver is pulling someone

[dark forge]

mhm

[stuck mountain]

hopefully they got it in place

biggest problem I have seen so far is swapping can keep someone in spawn forever

also imagine the teammate lifeweaver placing the tree in the best exit

[dark forge]

that's an easy fix at least. just put pull on cooldown when you select him

[stuck mountain]

yea I think they will do that

[dark forge]

whilst that clip of aspen showing that you can do it is funny af, don't think I would like to be on the receiving end lol

[stuck mountain]

also anyway doing that alot will get your account banned

[dark forge]

yup

[steep jungle]

Pls give this to me as a gif

It’s so good

[stuck mountain]

I am surprised how many people think they can grief without issue then get mad they got banned

[faint orchid]

your wish is my command king

[stuck mountain]

I remember something like that happening with ow cc before

it always gives me a laugh when that happens

tho I expect lifeweaver to be seen as a big troll pick in lower ranks the same way mei is

[loud ledge]

they already patched so u can't do it anymore

[dark forge]

oh sweet

[rapid flame]

I really love his voicelines

with Symmetra

[faint orchid]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/929807268994744340/1024457597232881714/29B137A0-B2CA-4BD3-A92E-542BCC35BEED.gif

here u go

[grand maple]

HAHA

[loud ledge]

I think it'd be weird if they put too much power in his heal since it's just targeted

it should be in his utility imo

[exotic patio]

What do yall think of these buffs for Healing Blossom I came up with?

The healing charge makes it from 1.25s to full charge to just 1 second to full charge

[loud ledge]

I think it's a bit early to say much for us since we haven't played yet

[exotic patio]

True

Healing Blossom seems very weak from the stats it has in the yt player test

[faint orchid]

yeah but its faster and further than kiriko heals

plus u can jiggle peak corners and heal ppl without having to get out of cover

it has its upsides, i think he's not a flex support so his power is in his utility

[exotic patio]

Wait are milliseconds 100 or 60?

The calculation i made for the healing added per ms is 60

[spare moss]

1000 ms per second

[exotic patio]

So its 0.04 healing added per ms

[spare moss]

i feel like it would be easier to just do heals per second LOL

[exotic patio]

True

44 healing added per second

You can do the Mei & Sym strat with LW instead

So maybe that could be a team comp

[spare moss]

44 extra healing per second is insane

[exotic patio]

Nvm

LW can also boost D.Va bomb then break the pad so that its over the enemy shield & has betetr LoS

He can boost & pull people from grav too

[dull juniper]

Thats smart

[dull juniper]

Wdym he’s not a flex support?

Like what does that mean?

[SPOILERS] New Hero Lifeweaver Discussion and Leaks

[pearl ember]

https://www.tiktok.com/@niandra_ow/video/7218582580470222086 - Made a very quick/simple tiktok showing his abilities in third person - I think he looks cool

[exotic patio]

Lifeweaver reminds me of Ying from Paladins

You just do as much damage as you can to farm ult for the healing potential

Ying ult is like a mercy pocket for everyone no matter where they are

[exotic patio]

They also gain way more ult from dealing damage than healing as supports

[faint orchid]

London Spitfire's coach's honest opinion on lifeweaver

his kit does feel there's little to no synergy between his abilities

[rapid yacht]

Kind of how I expect Weave to be

I feel Weave will be the worst hero competitively we've seen since Sombra

[spare moss]

naw i think the consensus i'm seeing among high elo players in general is that this guy, while interesting, is not going to be particularly strong

though, people said that about ram as well, he got a little speed buff, and then he was literally a must-pick

[dark forge]

the thing we have to consider is that... he's not even out yet

and it will take a while for lifeweaver to settle/people to learn what there is to him

[rapid yacht]

I disagree that the weapon swap will be clunky tho

As the scroll wheel exists

Mercy and torb also can swap weapons with the scroll wheel

And weave has shorter swaprate than them

[stuck mountain]

I am curios to see how it is in practise

This could be the first weapon swap to feel better

[pearl ember]

Some people on reddit said that weapon swap sucks for console but I don't know what that's like

[dark forge]

as a console player, I'll speak on this a bit

I don't think it's too bad, but really only cause I'm playing mercy

who isn't aim intensive

and also cause you don't have to do it often (at least w/ my playstyle)

although with lifeweaver it might be an issue as you most likely will be moving your camera a lot to set platforms, look for pulls, and shoot people a lot more as your healing it too low to just stay in heal mode 90% of the time

[rapid yacht]

Idk the button you use on console

[agile raptor]

I think it’s right on dpad

[stuck mountain]

it shows well how ow sadly designed very pc first

[rapid yacht]

I mean all fps are

[agile raptor]

Yeah, swap heroes is bound to swap weapons so you have to keep a button binded even if the hero doesn’t need it

[steep jungle]

My friend: “Ya know Rain if you were an Overwatch hero—you’d be Lifeweaver.”

W-would this be true?

[stuck mountain]

canon Rain mercy cute?!

well Rain

are you?

your gay enough to be him so stuff lining up

[steep jungle]

I mean

Realistically I would never dress as flamboyant as he would

[stuck mountain]

yet

[steep jungle]

Personality wise I’m a bitch in combat lmao

You’d be hearing me say stuff like “get fucked” when a teammate dies to widow headshot

But I do like flowers

Preferably blue/purple ones

And I def would use that pull move

Thing is tho

I make plants die…

[stuck mountain]

well he doesnt make real plants

its bio light

read your lore smh

[steep jungle]

Read my FIST

Honestly, this announcement has gone ever better than I expected, and I expected a PARTY.

Youri (@Yourietje_ow)

Does Lifeweaver's healing drop disappear when he gets resurrected? Sounds like such an easy rez to get off if you start right next to the heal and move into it as you get low (free 250 HP)

Twitter · Apr 5, 2023, 2:08 PM

I thought they were never gonna implement cuz of previous brig changes

why wouldn't i...?

i could finally get my revenge on salty DPS teammates

or just pulling anyone i'm in group with close to me and act silly XD

specially ana's...

i love them imma drag them close to me...

most sane support player:

[spare moss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du-gze4iiy0

he spends half this video not understanding how lifeweaver works and the other half actively sabotaging his allies

[primal valve]

just like me frfr

[pearl ember]

I love the third person/spectator views he edits in

"they cut the tree down" crying

[spare moss]

i love these videos when they first come out

[atomic mantle]

tree is a great shortword

[spare moss]

also looking forward to the BP video since he also does this style of funny goofing around videos when big news and new heroes come out

[pearl ember]

I love BP's style SO much

god this video is doing a good job at building hype - now i wanna play!!!

I FINALLY SAW HIS CUTE SPRAY

IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE EXCITEMENT

[pearl ember]

Ohh cool!

@atomic mantle , you always have Opinions™️ on cute sprays

I definitely feel it's a step up from the OW1 cute sprays

[spare moss]

the ow2 ones are WAY better

which i feel bad for saying bc i know that someone made the ow1 cute sprays and probably worked hard on them but like

i do not like them and almost wish they would get reworked in the new style

[dull juniper]

Agreed

[dull juniper]

No but like tbf some of the r VERY good

Imo symm’s is one of the best

[dull juniper]

Omll yes in ow2 skins

[flint fern]

i feel his healing is lack lustre so will definitely need to be paired with a main healer

i think him and ana would be a good pair since she can snipe heals with they are on his pad

[arctic surge]

i think he would be good with bap too because they'd be cute together

[atomic mantle]

This one is a decently cute chibi, he looks intentionally malformed unlike mercy but imo those lil cute sprays we got a few@years ago will always be cuter

[winter coyote]

Hard counter the trolling by trolling them

Also i love these character designs

hoping they'll make more of it

[dull juniper]

Can lw charge his blossom while pulling?

LIFEWEAVER FACT
One thing I want to share is that when we develop new hero, we usually have a place holder icon for them in the game, and a placeholder icon for Lineweaver used to be just medic Baptiste skin, so I replace it with this goofy doodle I drew for his sit emote... 🤣

What was the medic baptiste skin again?

Lifeweaver healing buff coming day 1 of Season 4. Charge time for his primary heal will be reduced from 1.2 to 1.0 seconds.

I guess this fits here

[primal valve]

NICE

[faint orchid]

would it be enough tho

[stuck mountain]

idk go play him to figure out

[faint orchid]

on it

[primal valve]

woah thanks faalund let me get on my special blizzard account and play wife leaver

[stuck mountain]

That the spirit

[rapid yacht]

That's amazing tbh

[stuck mountain]

it is

[rapid yacht]

I think micro buffs are good when the hero is brand new.

[stuck mountain]

oh 100%

[rapid yacht]

If they buffed his healing numbers I would've been spooked

Even if from 65 to 70

[rapid yacht]

How smooth is Weave's hello -> punch? Some heroes have an amazingly smooth one(bap, queen, kiri)

[timid quarry]

I WANNA PLAY THIS HERO ALREADYYYYY

[grand maple]

I HEARD HE'S AWFUL ON CONSOLE

CUZ HE HAS SO MANY FUCKING BINDS ISTG

[dull juniper]

Plss same

[dull juniper]

UGHHH

[timid quarry]

idk about yall

but i feel like overwatch becomes less and less console friendly everyday

with every new hero having more and more heroes

[rapid yacht]

Honestly, I think next hero will be the second hero ever to have 2 ults

[stuck mountain]

2.0 sym moment

[rapid yacht]

yeee

[flint fern]

hope the next again char is a support

we need more

this game has a lot of cyborgs

[dull juniper]

Idk how to say this but isnt his arm really

[atomic vapor]

it's like a glove?

I think this can as much just be seen as an art mistake

Its nothing new they forget to draw cybernetic arms on a hero

[atomic vapor]

mercy does NOT look like mercy lolol

also who is the one on the far right ??

[opal pebble]

Sojourn maybe?

[atomic vapor]

idt that looks like her tho and doesn't she age normally? so she'd be younger right
