sometimes a positive post is needed: lately I’ve been seeing so many lifeweaver players who have learned to use the lifegrip in an exceptional way. they are saving tons of players from falls, reinhardt charges, mei blizzards, etc.
Sure, sometimes little mishaps happen with jq and pharah in ult, but… I’m quite pleased with the increase of players who are learning to use this hero well.
very good!
I hope now that the developers make the platform and the ultimate more effective.
I’m thinking of trying life Weaver heh…
Got any tips?
Yeah, turn off chat or be prepared xD
I’m just impressed by anyone patient enough to put up with his clunk and learn him. No amount of number buffs is ever going to make the guy playable for me.
You know posts like these are just great. We need positive reinforcement like this.
As a LW main i try my diddly darn best to get good grips and dual heal and damage efficiently.
P.S You’re the awesome one
Tons of good LW players now. As a Lucio/Moira/Bap player I LoVe when my cohort is LW. It’s good synergy with my playstyle.
Don’t dive my LW or you’re getting the purple orb!!! Happy Gaming! 
I like to see them on my team.
It’s interesting that a missed or badly timed Ult will have a way higher negative impact on the match but ppl often don’t say much or even noticed you just lost the game for them. However block their movement for .5 sec with even a well placed mei wall or a not so ideal life grip they will throw a fit even if the outcome from it is not nearly so bad just a bit inconvenient. Ppl can only seem to see how it affects them personally, not the bigger picture and the risk/reward that goes into it.
People are shockingly salty about his life grasp. I’ve played with at least 2 tanks who, after getting life grasped at critical health, just stood there and looked at me and let themselves be killed every single time I used it on them. I try not to be rude when I play but at that point I’m just going to continue to do it. Like. I’m playing the role and doing my job, don’t be a baby that I stopped you from rushing in and dying.
You’re welcome OP 
!
Thanks for the appreciation !
There are already tons of things you can do with those. Off the top of my head :
Petal Platform :
My personal favorite : messing up Rein’s charge with a petal platform and he misses his target.
The tree ultimate requires more thinking but outside of blocking entrances, what I’ve managed to do (a few times 'cause it’s hard) is canceling Roadhog’s grip by placing the tree between him and the ally targeted.
The chain completely breaks and it doesn’t hook the ally 
!
The first week I unlocked him, I panic grabbed my Doomfist who was sure to fall into the pit on Nepal…ended up slingshotting him into the enemy team who was behind the wall to my left as he SS’d. Was the weirdest thing I ever did see but also the funniest thing to happen.
A lot of times though, I feel my brain shutting down while playing LW and yet I’m still hyper micromanaging my team pretty well.
Abuse his healing range, abuse platform, bind a button to the “sorry” voice command.
Well he is pretty excellent in the current 4 vs Demon Lord mode.
this is the worst thing
hahahaha I saw that one time. I was getting charged as Kiriko, but life weaver pulled rein saving my life. In the replay, the rein turned around to stare at the life weaver for 10sec before moving on.
To the Lifeweaver players who have pulled me out of situations I was going to die in - y’all friggen rad, thanks for saving me! Seriously! Especially when I’m on tank and I got anti’d and was super low and going to die - y’all came in clutch on dozens of occasions!
I learned you can jump just as the platform reaches the top and get a vertical boost. Mostly a tip for everyone, but try it out. It’s fun.
Just practice petal/jump/dash mechanics and you’ll get out of most trouble.
Use pull for peels only if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, save them for clutch moments.
Sure.
Theres quickplay, arcade and even practice range with AI bots. And hes actually good on the demon lord mode.
Just dont click on ranked by accident, the poeple there want to win.
there are time’s he may pull me and rescue me those times are great!
there are other times he pulls me when i’m about to make a kill and would have survived and it’s terrible!
