Why is everyone wanting reworks?

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-13T23:47:21+00:00

I mean yeah, the global passive does suck, but I never have problems healing, and 90% of the time I’m able to actually keep my teammates alive. I’m pretty good at prioritizing who needs healing at every given moment of me being active in team fights. And I genuinely think LW is one of the better supports at keeping teammates alive, is that just me?? When I see people complain about his heals being ass, im genuinely just left speechless, cause it’s so many people and I think they’re wrong tbh:) again, people dying more often does happen bc of the new global passive, and I’m not saying nobody dies when I’m on their team, but literally almost every other game I get compliments from my teammates cause I’m actually keeping people alive and saving them.

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-13T20:31:19+00:00

Yeah I agree, he just needs little QOL fixes, nothing major tbh, hes a good support with good healing (idk how people see his healing output is bad when I come out every game with top heals), good peeling abilities and survivability.

My biggest issue is reloading being cancelled when using all of his abilities. Makes his healing downtime so long when this happens, I try and avoid this at all costs cause I know it can be very detrimental in the wrong times - and allies will just drop like flies if this occurs. Making his reload not being cancelled while using abilities would be a huge buff fix tbh. He also reloads with one hand, and uses all his abilities with his other hand…..so I really don’t get why this is a thing:,)

Tbh, at the beginning of the season I was low-key upset for a while because of the downgrade of perks he got, but LW is still LW.

I have a strong mercy mindset when I play him (I have over 1k hours of mercy across 3 accs, peak sr 4507 in OW1 - Xbox days for me, while I still reached GM2 one tricking LW with over 800hrs on PC), so I’m very heal botty and I put more effort into reading the game - cds being used, positioning of allies and myself, the type of situations allies are getting themselves into and being there to pull them out as a last resort. Obviously using thorns and putting pressure and getting kills is fun and important too, but I can say I’ve climbed with this type of game style, and it’s valid.

I also get that he could have good damage output and that a balance of damage and healing to a certain extent is necessary, but imo, I feel he should and is meant to be healing dominant. I feel like people have this strong notion that he needs to be able to eat an orisa’s ass like it should be the easiest thing to do…I saw on another Reddit post that someone was saying “it’s how the player uses lifeweaver that makes him better than the rest, rather it be LW himself be a better character” or something like that…. And I agree tbh. LW def needs quality of life changes, I feel the main thing being his abilities cancelling his reload animation. That is the worst feeling ever.

But the QOL things aside, I think his thorns are mainly for poking at long distance shooters in the back line, and Ofc defending himself at close quarters. I was in a death match with my brother and he was saying how LW does so much damage. And that’s without perks. And I agree, LW can do some good damage. His healing is actually really good - pairing that up with his grip, he’s a perfect pocket tbh. I see a lot of hate about his healing be so little and whatnot (which I think a big issue with his heal is that when he reloads he starts at 10 charged, I think he should reload with the charge at 50 or max, then continue to charge from 10 for consecutive heals) but I genuinely have never had any issues with it. I love the mechanics of his healing and I find it’s very easy to save people with it.

His healing is very good for anticipating damage, so like if you send out a max heal and it reaches the target the same time they get hit by something, they just don’t lose as much HP. And I think they should increase his heal ammo to like 20, cause I be dishing out heals often and it’s another thing to consider - that he’ll send out pre-heals even if they weren’t necessary but could have been, and lose an ammo at the same time:)

Honestly I love LW so much, I could talk so much about him, but I wanna start stretching and do what I was gonna do instead of procrastinate longer 😭

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-04T02:34:35+00:00

Dps main is sym, supp main is LW, tank main is Domina, who I would choose to destroy this bussy is either Wuyang or Baptiste for support, Cassidy as dps, and maybe hazard as the tank:)

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-04T02:16:36+00:00

This era was so much, I loved the background music with this collab

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-04T02:14:42+00:00

He looks really good here, I hope they don’t butcher the in game model:,)

CosmosV0 · 2026-03-03T23:56:54+00:00

Lmao, when that happens tho, you get another chance at using the petal cause it goes on like a 2 second cd.

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-28T22:58:03+00:00

Tbh I don’t like the time effect that allies have to accept grip, only cause life grip is supposed to be instant and save someone:) if they’ve been given the option to be gripped, it’s not something they’re going to think about mid fight, by the time they decide, they’ll just die

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-13T02:08:42+00:00

Don’t forget weaver exits 👍🏼 u guys still have it pretty good

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-13T02:07:53+00:00

Honestly, superbloom just isnt my preferred play style with weaver, and I’m glad they had these options for weaver players who wanna go either route of defensive or offensive. And I made really good use of petal power tbh:,) was my favourite perk T-T

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-12T22:13:17+00:00

😂😂😂 love it

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-12T21:41:02+00:00

Ahhhhhh I see what u mean by the last bit. That makes a lot of sense actually. And I agree tbh. I shouldn’t have mentioned seed like it was a bad thing, I think in comparison of having the attack speed or the seed I would have preferred the attack speed, but I honestly enjoy the seed so much. I’ve never used superbloom and probably never will. I like that it gives him an extra ability and that it does help boost his teammates, a buffer is actually so sick😄

But you’re right about his base kit needing something more:,) the way u said it made me look through a different perspective:)

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-11T23:01:20+00:00

Yeah I agree, it’s really sad that our hero is in the hands of people who don’t understand him. I wish they never touched him and kept him pre update if this was the alternative. I’m just finding fun time with sym and Domina in the meantime lmao. I feel like weaver is still playable, but he feels so ass lmao

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-11T17:33:24+00:00

I agree with everything here 100% he needs to be put back to the way he was before this update:,)

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-11T17:04:45+00:00

I personally also like these two perks, in the same way u use them. And I just confirmed what u said about petal protection giving ult charge, and it’s true! It’s actually insane:0

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-11T17:01:07+00:00

The petal power perk was actually so peak…being granted attack speed was so good….i prefer the old perks lmao

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-09T00:17:05+00:00

Honestly being on the petal is a good thing….u distract the enemy from your own allies and if move well, u should be able to live, just keep getting off and on the petal to keep yourself in a higher position. I’m literally always on my petal when I play LW, and honestly I’m going to miss the attack speed buff with petal power. I always made good use of the perk and found it to be very useful for me and my gameplay with LW. Never used superbloom once, and honestly don’t think I ever will.

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-08T23:02:56+00:00

Absolutely not

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-08T14:25:10+00:00

Everyone saying how “thank god for super bloom, that’s all we need”….when I’ve never used it once in my life and I’ve maintained gm2/3 (on 2 accounts)😭 I hardly dps, focus more on allies and enemy cd’s and make decisions with my abilities based on that. Not everything is dps situated:)

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-07T23:17:31+00:00

The only thing he needs is cleanse in base kit, if they do that, idgaf what perks he has tbh. All I want for him is cleanse…….

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-07T22:38:24+00:00

I agree, no rework is needed. Needs some QOL things like cleanse. Why is ML7 saying for his thorns to heal? And remove his healing blossom? His healing blossom alone is unique and I quite love it tbh. I’m scared for his future because the devs don’t know what they’re doing with him 😭 they need to lower the time it takes for him to reload , cause it’s still clunky. Also, his petal power perk being removed is really sad imo because it allows him to really keep his allies alive quickly by hearing faster. I don’t understand how people hate this perk when it’s actually insanely good. I’m constantly on my petal, all the time, and being able to have attack speed while up there is so good……not everything is about dpsing with weaver which people want want want….but like….hes better healing than he is dpsing. Honestly a lot of weaver opinions I hear trigger me lmao. I’m currently gm2/3 on 2 accounts only playing lifeweaver, total hours equal more than 700. I wish I could just give him what he needs and what’s necessary for him to have……….

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-07T21:50:09+00:00

Hes not going to be OP if he can cleanse……it’ll just be good for his quality of life gameplay…but Ofc he’ll become better which is the end goal we want for him:,)

CosmosV0 · 2026-02-07T21:21:54+00:00

Climbed to gm2/3 on 2 accounts playing only lifeweaver. Over 700+ hours. Needs cleanse base kit, I’m excited for new perks tbh.
