What does that even mean? Every ecosystem is essentially a food chain full of murderous predators and selfish herbivores.
Even now, you, yes you just sitting there. Countless amounts of bacteria are trying to find their way into you to feast on your delicious calories dense self. Parasites want to infest you. Ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes want to succ you. A hungry bear will eat you alive.
Life wants to consoom life!

He’s referring to his Giving Tree ultimate, which is alive and does, in fact, protect life (of his teammates).

That may be but the line itself does not make sense. He’s stating it like it’s sage wisdom.
“Life protects life” does not make sense!

From a small-scale, short-term point of view, yes. But rather than regard individual organisms as entities, try thinking about the species as a whole, or even the entire ecosystem as the entity. Yes, that owl just ate that rat, but now there are fewer rats, and the ecosystem is under less pressure to provide for them. If owls died out, rats would become overabundant, eat everything, and then starve. The absence of owls leads to the absence of rats and whatever they were eating. So even though individual rats are harmed in the short term, ratkind profits from the culling.

So Lifeweaver sacrifices a tree to protect teammates. Kay…I mean why not just chop it down rather than having sucuumb to a virus from hack, getting nuked by rocket barrage, or torn to smithereens from whole hog.
Also that tree is a death trap…it welcomes riptires, death blosoms, Dva bombs, and Blizzards.
i feel like this is a bit of a stretch, if this was the case he could yell out something more applicable like:
“It’s the circle of liiiiiife!”

The point of life is to propogate life.
If it fails at that, it ceases to live.
The success of multicellular organisms demonstrates that competition can still lead to cooperation. It’s the best interest of all single cellular organisms to look out for their own genetic code, and the best way to do that is often to sacrifice for the colony.
The wording isn’t perfect, I agree. But for a symbiotic relationship like the one Lifeweaver fills, it fits.

Lifeweaver heals preventing death
But it then leads to the death of another
The ability doesnt deal any damage so hes not lying.

It does discriminate though not all life is equal.
Not very pro life of him imo
You could also perceive it as him being/playing a god (a scientist making artificial plants) and thus in saying this line, he makes it so.
It’s likely not as deep as the god reference, but it’s almost certainly related to him working to make the world a better place using hard light, which is his entire thing.

I mean, it can be. He’s a human (life) that is working to protect the planet and nature (also life).
I actually like that perception, though. It’s like when people try to be inspiring and say something dumb like “Bad days are just days that are bad” - thanks so much bestie Kyle that was so inspiring

It comes off as incredibly sophomoric and vapid
By protect you mean blocking an exit and being destroyed then I would have to disagree
I mean, get better LWs?
It is annoying to have to worry about this though. I’m sure all good LWs attempt to avoid this, but it is one more minor inconvenience to worry about when you’re trying to throw it down in an emergency.
Maybe they should tone down the opacity and make it a “barrier”.
Edit: Nope. Thought about it for an additional second. Would be a shield “bubble” at that point. There is no simple/sensible solution.
