Honestly I’ve been talking how weaver feels without the dash and trust me thats grwatly hampered him buuutt I want to clear some misconceptions about just how useful he is and what value he provides not into dva (or ya know his counters).
It dosen’t feel bad it’s just how do I put this, people treat Lifeweavers win condition like it’s Moira’s or Baps or Kiri’s Lifeweaver specializes in Anomaly manipulation and doing the absolute highest level of bullcrap to win his games as well as knowing every single counter and interaction he has.
Ive honestly lost a lot of games I should have by treeing when Torb has molton core hog has his ult orrrrrrr hell getting to greedy and dying. (Which I could do with old dash still pissed about that btw).
There’s only a few ways I lose to a healbot Lifeweaver one is 1 shot heros because well mid fight dosen’t even matter, and 2 the enemy team plays one of the heros whos been over buffed who already hard counters me.
Originally I had a neutral fight with dva even tho she eats literally everything I do, but this aint about her.
In the neutral Lifeweaver can still do what hes always done he dosen’t need a rework or anything.
It’s just Lifeweaver lives and dies by these little mini interactions and being very very VERYA GOOD when it comes to beign on the “verge” of death between winning and losing.
Understand make no mistake dvas currently the only tank that dosen’t fight Lifeweaver in his element she just straight up kills him, but everyone else like that 1 factor is usually the decision between me winning and me losing.
Like I hit every single thorn, charge my heals perfectly all my aggro Lifegrips saving grip for bob, making sure Rein NEVER comes in with a full shield (if rein ever enters with a full shield against Reinhardt report that weaver for throwing).
But yeah Lifeweavers not bad in the neutral he’s just not OP like other heros and requires more decision making usually ending up at the very last decision that decides between winning and losing and simply stacking his wins together based on that and whatever other cheap crap like tree blocking spawns or whatever his kit lets him get away with.
