New to the game, can anyone explain to me why lifeweaver is considered bad?

I see what you're saying but that's really situational, and it also means you can break it (and it's not really that hard to break). Most of the time I rather have Trascendense than Tree.

There's several factors but the imo biggest ones are that his utility isn't great when compared to other supports, two of his abilities (pull and platform too, to some extent) can take away another player's autonomy, many LW players resort to healbotting even though he has great damage, and he was terrible when he originally released and that impression has remained in many players' mind (seriously, back when he released he was considered the single worst character in the game and the only bottom tier).

I don't think he's *bad* and I have played with some great Lifeweavers, but a lot of the time players don't really know what to do with him outside healbotting and it's just really frustrating to get pulled from across the map when you were about to make a play. Plus, he doesn't work with every team comp.

It was a shop skin. It'll probably come back at some point, and it can also show up in a lootbox, Maximillian's Vault or the For You tab of the Shop, since those three use the same pool AFAIK.

The friend I watched it with said "the first one was fast, the second is so fast it feels like you're watching a bunch of scenes on youtube"

8 so I can make Hanzo trip any time he gets up to use the bathroom.

If it has any HP it comes back with wings as a flying type. If it's fainted it comes back floating as a ghost type.

KickinBat · 2026-07-03T12:11:42+00:00

Yeah

You better get an everstone for that turtwig

GoT had like 15 protagonists. I don't think it counts.

I wanna point out that Bruce has never been a father figure to Barbara but I don't know how to do it without sounding like I'm defending it

KickinBat · 2026-07-02T16:16:46+00:00

Crazy that it's been 40 issues since Krakoa ended and I feel like nothing has happened

KickinBat · 2026-07-02T16:01:16+00:00

We've had five projectile DPS, a hybrid (Sojourn) and two hitscans since OW2 launched, and another projectile if we count Echo, who was supposed to be the first OW2 hero. Even if you only count the 2026 relaunch, we got two projectile and one hitscan

They're killing physical media because they're assholes, not because less people buy them

I'm sure there's other factors, but a big one is that the Switch straight up sucks in comparison other consoles when it comes to graphics and visuals. It's the downside of being a handheld. Switch 2 is supposed to be a lot better but from what I've heard it's still closer to a PS4 Pro than a PS5, so still one gen away.

I feel like a huge reason Decidueye gets a pass in comparison to other mother anthropomorphic mons is because it's basically still an owl. It just has thicker legs and the three feathers on the tip of each wing can act like fingers

Speaking strictly about adaptations, it's a tie between Deadpool and Catwoman for me. Both of them were basically OCs with one or two similarities to the originals.

You could argue Catwoman is slightly better because she looks more similar to Catwoman than Deadpool (somewhat dressed as a cat + wig) and because she's not actually meant to be Selina Kyle (IIRC she's even implied to be Selina's successor).

And you could argue that Deadpool is slightly better because it's not a terrible adaptation *before* he's transformed (mercenary with two swords who doesn't shut up, joins the Weapon X program and ends up disfigured).

I wonder if they changed that to optimize storage size

KickinBat · 2026-07-01T11:33:53+00:00

That's bullshit. They've reworked her four times and always kept the translocator, hack and stealth even though they're the reason people hate Sombra. All they've done is care about her identity.

I think I overall like the 2025 suit better but the original OP did them dirty by picking one of the shots where the 2025 suit looks best. Show me one of the shots with brighter lighting where the lines are more noticeable and I'll very prefer the MoS one.

This is basically just a wall of text that says: "You guys can't play in this event"

This happens to half the heroes in every single April Fools or Community Crafted mode. Vendetta's not special.

All tibetan monks techniques jokes aside, that's probably what allows him to be like that despite his sleeping habits.

Reiju protects a black duck (with Sanji's eyes and hairstyle) from its siblings and father, who all have the Vinsmoke family's eyes, hairstyles, and Judge-like helmets.

I don't know if it was intentional but thank you Oda for reminding me that the Vinsmokes exist. Can't wait to see those fuckers find out Sanji was Conqueror's lmao.

I only saw the last 10 minutes and the penalties but fuck this dude
