Am I the only one who finds it INCREDIBLY awkward, annoying, and clunky as heck that you cannot use Secondary Fire on Freja if she needs to reload her Primary Fire?
SO MANY TIMES I run out of primary ammo but have my secondary available and die because I can’t finish off my opponent with my AVAILABLE secondary fire. EVEN if I use my mobility options I STILL CANNOT use it so it feels beyond terrible and awful design choice if its intentional.
Basically every other hero can use their abilities and secondary ammo (like LW) even when the primary is out. They can even cancel the reload animation by doing so and then reload after.
This NEEDS to be fixed cause it feels bad.

Lifeweaver has 2 different “guns”.
Freja’s ammo pool works more like bap’s. As in, you run out of one and auto reload.
If bap runs out of healing nades, he can’t just dps the rest of his bullets, he auto reloads. And vice versa.
Also can’t reload while using abilities.
If freja had a weapon swap animation like weaver, it’d make more sense to let her keep shooting but she only has one weapon.
Or if her secondary fire was on a cooldown like soldiers, it’d make sense to allow it’s use with the primary ammo empty.

That is only half true. Bap has a setting that allows you to turn off automatic reloads when one ammo type runs out. The default tho is that reload automatically takes priority over the remaining ammo.
So depending on your setting preferences, Bap can choose to heal/shoot even after running out of one type of the ammo.
I am happy that you like the char so much that you demand changes for the kit she has. This is not sarcastic, I mean it! Good for you
Honestly, this is why you take the 2nd perk where landing the alt fire shot gives back +4 ammo.
Alt fire will reload in about 5-6 primary fire shots, so this is the key to keeping your offensive up with little to no reload times. The free dash on jump is simply not worth the DPS loss. Freja goes from like 145dps → 86 dps on reloads. The perk is such a game changer.
You don’t have primary/secondary fire.
You have left click Fire and right click HOLD TO AIM like widow and ashe. You still fire with left click. It’s a sniper shot.
