For solo use yes. To save a teammate no, this never happens.

What, you throw it down as you push as a team, and your team mate can pop the widow while he does so. And frequently does.
And here is the thing, you couldn’t safely have made that push without it.
What else are you going to do? Heal though the damage? Oh wait, you literally can not.

I have also used lamp like a pseudo barrier to help my team push through a choke. It is a very flexible ability if you get creative with it.

I need some Bap players input here because maybe I’m insane. You really put lamp down when everyone is full hp in order to…push as a team?
As have pretty much every other Bap in existence.
Yes. If you are facing a lot of burst that is EXACTLY what you do.
It is the way you use it offensively.

Assuming this is true, it’s another step in the direction turning the game into a boring bullet sponge simulation.

And you must have seen it used to save a team from a Dva bomb at least once
This is cool I guess to deal with one shots but I know how annoying it can be to get back from spawn and take a arrow to the head just cause you pushed a corner at the wrong time but I rather deal with one shots than the invulnerability’s there are so many ways people can be saved now and there is a DPS heal passive “Hero’s never die” is being taken to literally now Devs!?!
So what is regen burst for?
i wonder if this patch is just made up, because bastion has 200 health, not 225

Maybe to burst heal your team after you have saved them with lamp… Because you are left with like 20%hp

Dying to Widow / Hanzo if you think you are going to push with it.
It is completely countered by them. Which is why using Lamp to push against targets like that is the preferred option.
It is good to heal the team up after (or while) you have pushed though, lamp saves them, and regen gets them back out of the danger area.
But if you are pushing into widow, It literally can’t save you, or your other squishes.
So what do you do when your tank is getting bursted down? You’d rather waste lamp on getting through a choke safely?
If that is where the tank will be get bursted down ABSOLUTELY.
If your tank is say… Ball, or Doom, then saving lamp for them is unlikely to do much.
I wish I played widow players who focused tanks all game lol
Weirdly enough, you can face MORE than one target as you push. There is PLENTY of burst to happen from the enemy team, even if the widow is going to pop a squishy as you push.
Besides Hanzo can both storm your tank OR blow someones head right off their shoulders.
Lamp helps with both.
Burst healing only helps with one.
But, using Lamp to push into areas where widow controls is a very common thing.
I mean, as a support, you don’t have a lot of options to help your team vs widow.
And when lamp is gone he can go right back to one shotting whoever he wants. It doesn’t matter that much for him. Especially since he can delete it instantly.
So it’s going to be more like Total Mayhem.
250hp for all is terrible idea.
More farm ult simulator. Time to find another game

If your team hasn’t murdered him in the mean time, or he hasn’t been forced to back off.
Besides what is your other option? To wait outside the choke until he gets bored and lose the game?
This gives you the ability to push against extreme levels of burst, Hanzo and Widow included.
And yeah, it is used to do so.
