Throwing petal down should not cancel reload animations.

Also, don’t throw petal down during reload animations.
You reload once a while
You throw petal down once a while
Find the balance instead of hoping for changes.
Although, I did hear that they are considering adding some incentive for petal usage and the damage to heal toggle, remains to be seen.
Until then, make do.
“Make do” useless comments. He uses his right hand to attack/heal, left to throw petal. Make do with that.

Ya know what’s also useless?
Making suggestion posts in general chat where nowhere it says this is heard or taken into consideration.
You can either make useless posts hoping it will be a change
Or adjust what you do with LW.
“Discuss all things Overwatch with fellow players.” It’s a discussion thread, you can add an actual productive opinion or not comment at all.

Discuss away.
Tho the way posts are made feels more like a suggestion post than discussion posts.
So I added you a suggestion on it, I don’t see how that isn’t valid in the thread.
Your suggestion was to not use the ability and to “make do” whatever that means. good work

It was not to use the ability, it was to not use reload and throwing petals together.
The incentive for petal is for positioning, have you never found yourself having to reload and escape at the same time? Happens every game.

I got 300+h in LW, I’m above level 115 on it.
Can say for sure this was never an issue on my end. Maybe extremely rarely, mostly cause i always have a petal ready in advance.
Not pulling advice out of my butt, giving actual advice after maining LW.
Infact, if you are trying this hero and want some tips I’ll be happy to show you around or spectate a few matches.
I’m happy for you. Doesn’t change the fact that using an ability with your left hand affects your weapon on your right. It does not feel natural–hence the quality of “life” change. It’s not a buff, nor a nerf.

True.
I think there was a setting that allow you to fix this
I don’t remember by memory, I’ll get back to this once I’m back home
Good grief, this suggestion did NOT warrant the random hostility that came its way
Anyway, I’m also a Weaver main, and I see nothing wrong with this change. I’d love to see it happen. Placing a petal already doesn’t cancel his healing charge, or interrupt his thorn fire. It just makes sense that it would also not interrupt his reload

Weaver is arguably one of the weakest (for whatever reason) supports. A change like this is fitting and would definitely help. Not some drastic overpowered suggestion. Wouldn’t even be enough to make him stronk. Just a small “feels good” change to a hero that needs positive adjustments. I like suggestions like these.

Its a good suggestion and frankly, it doesnt feel like a suggestion but something thats been overlooked, due to it inconsistent nature w rest of kit & how the animations line up.
Something lkke this i feel would have been noticed in beta testing but since we ARE used as the free beta testers of the games new content and updates…i think its appropriate change

To be fair, the people who run the game do watch this forum. It’s just low chances that they’ll actually implement anything we want or suggest unless some big time streamer makes a fuss. Which, is very dumb.
Anyway, logically, reloading and Petal Platform shouldn’t cancel one another out because they’re using different hands and the man is ambidextrous.
I support more QoL changes.

While we’re talking about LW QoLs, I’m just gonna leave this here:

Imagie the crazy, preplanned bait techs that could be possible with that change, just like we got with Ana! I’m all for it.
