Please stop buffing this hero. People are trying him out in ranked and it’s just a free win every time you’re against it and a painful loss every time you have him. Lossweaver needs to be deleted until his rework comes. Every time we give him buffs people try those buffs out in ranked to see if he is viable. It ruins hundreds of thousands of games across the ladder over a season.
You could give him 500hp instead of 225 and he’d still be the worst support. You could give him a cool down of 5 seconds on grip and platform and he’d still be a mess. Number tweaking cannot save this hero.
I have a solution to his lack of utility. Rework grip into a 2 stage ability. First use it would act like a Zarya bubble, saving that person while they are free to move. Using it again while the bubble is active would draw the teammate to his position. That gives the wifeleaver time to assess, is the pull necessary?
Also change his name I beg. It’s awful and there are soooo many worse things you can call him.
He actually is pretty solid and fun now.
lemme guess you were about to “get a sick kill bro!!!” when in reality you were about to die, got pulled and got really mad about it? Yeah, checks out.
It is dramatic. He’s not instant-loss undertuned anymore and arguably never was. He doesn’t need to be reworked; he needs minor tweaks if anything. I’m projecting my WR on him will climb from 53-54 to 58+ tbh.
I don’t have a problem with him being able to reposition me. But he’s so far below every other support there’s no real point in picking him. They need to buff his damage output to even put him on Moira’s level. And that’s pretty low.
It’s not dramatic it’s an estimate based on his pick rate, and the fact there are several million people who play the game. How many games do you think get played over 2 months, by the entire community accumulatively?
He had a low pickrate cus he was weak.
He got super buffed massively a couple days ago.
Citing old data when he’s in a different state now doesnt really prove anything.
There is barely 30k people playing on steam right now so 7 million playing comp seems unlikely. Lifeweaver isn’t that horrible and can be used really nicely and perform some life saving/game winning grips
hes pretty good now doubt they touch him again. Problem with lifeweaver is hes the only true support in overwatch all the other supports are dps/cc machines disguised as supports. instead of buffing lifeweaver what they should have done is nerfed every single support until they where all lifeweaver tier. Lifeweaver shouldnt be buffed to fit the other supports the other supports need to be nerfed to fit him.
