Overwatch 2 is fixing Lifeweaver's worst gameplay feature

Overwatch 2

What you need to know

  • One of the Overwatch 2 community's main criticisms of Season 4's new hero, Lifeweaver, is that he's awkward to play.
  • The reason why this is the case is because Lifeweaver players have to manually switch between two different weapons for healing and damage constantly.
  • Overwatch 2 Game Director Aaron Keller has confirmed that Blizzard is "looking into alternative control methods" for Lifeweaver's abilities that will hopefully make switching between healing and damage smoother.
  • Fans have suggested reworking Lifeweaver's Rejuvenating Dash to be more of a double jump like Hanzo's Lunge, which would then allow Petal Platform to be swapped to its original input. Lifeweaver's Thorn Volley attacks could then be made an alternate fire like Moira's Biotic Grasp.
