If youre healing and want to shoot you still swap weapon on alt fire before he starts shooting. Just why?

The same reason Moira does 70 dps but has a resource meter on her healing. Would you prefer a resource meter? Your main goal is healing the team and being supportive, not playing DPS on support
This is to Lifeweavers benefit since it allows him to reload one while firing the other.
Actual alt fires like Baptiste don’t do this.
Feels clunky though. I think I’d take a damage nerf if it meant instant weapon switch.

Because that is his design 
Sorry you guys still feel like he’s not good enough.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m glad I was able to retrieve the exact same controls as before the update. Great surprise. Kudos to the OW team.
70 dps with her ult, 50 dps with primary fire.

I hate this weapon swap so much,imagine if Bap had to swap weapons to heal and damage.

Probably for the best in 5v5
Bap and Moira still heal the team. More fluid controls doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to become a dps on support. Far from it. People want to swap between weapons faster so they can fit in even more heals. If people wanted pure dps, they’d be asking for a larger clip or a faster reload.
Sometimes people just want to poke a low hp enemy faster. You can’t healbot if all your team is at like 90% hp.
its 50 its never been 70?

Kiriko and Ana say hi?
funny you say that considering Lifeweaver is the only healer without on demand healing, with his 2.1+seconds to cast heal(full charge) coming from tickle mode to heal mode. even if you were lurking 100% in heal mode, you’re looking at about a 1.5sec before your current heal hits the target, and thats assuming its not soaked, blocked and hits the right target in the middle of the fight, and that you’re not being focused.
any action you do outside of actually healing reduces your presence by letting your teammates be lower health, and then you have to start charging that heal, hoping your teammate is alive by the time you’re sending it.
