One thing i tried and worked, blocked bastion ULT with the pedal. Pop it down, step on and off quick so it raises, then stand under it! blocks the missles.

Something fun I discovered with Lifegrip: if you grip an ally with a tracer bomb stuck to them, the explosion will be left “out” of the grip’s bubble, so with the right distance, path and timing you can render a Tracer bomb useless.

[MachiavelliCF]

Something the vid missed: You can ark your heal around enemy shields.
This works because the game remembers the last ally you looked at for a fraction of a second.
Look at someone, look away, release.

He is by far my favorite character there is so much unique ways to save your teammates: he feels like the opposite of a heal bot.

Hello from the future, as a lifeweaver main this is extremely helpful advice. He is very useful and meant to be played creatively his healing output, ult cancels, and survivabilty all make him formidable support in my opinion. I would very nuch like to stress that pre charging his flower is very important, when the enemy has been gone and you are holding point charging it to full can easily negate early dmg from the enemy that could take out your dps early on. His healing is very underestimated but if used right he can out heal a number of supports.

as a lifeweaver main, his primary fire is great at covering fire (especially if you can headshot). you can use its projectiles to pressure a widow or any poke, as it is great at pressure at distance. you can even cover a door way while waiting fo cooldowns.

I really enjoy playing LW BUT he simply doesn't have carry potential. Just like Mercy his potential is only realized if your team is able to leverage his potential. I don't think there's a character that benefits more from active comms except maybe Ball and Sombra. I wish i could play him more but I hate relying on my team to pop off. Don't know how many games I've had where I've basically negated most ults, healed more than anyone else, got several kills, and never died only to end up with a big L.

[caydentaylor]

after watching only 9:00 and getting into a game i got 8, 828 dmg and 8, 937 heals this is a really good video

[JetSib]

I never thought I'd have my 100+ hours on LW validated in one video 😂 love this!

[SmolButVicious]

Great guide! Thank you for this !
I find it really easy to default into the chill stay back and healbot playstyle, so this guide helps a ton to think about more creative uses for his abilities ♥

[RainbowsAurora]

can you please make a map positioning guide for him? the ideal spots you should be holding relatively would be very helpful

[diegoescorpion]

Wow thank you! I didn’t know you can break down the tree by yourself if you want! to gain more ult charge faster! Good tips amigo ✅👏🏻

From what I’ve noticed, Lifeweaver’s healing output is not sustainable on its own. Especially since the maximum output needs to charge up which in a fight can be too time consuming.

Which is why I’m glad to have another support on my team. Lifeweaver’s healing, like every other support, is not his primary function, to support means to help your team, help them finish an enemy off, help them heal up, help them out of sticky situations.

Lifeweaver in my opinion excels at getting his teammates out of tough situations. Literally. Pulling his teammates is so useful and his platform ability provides ample opportunity for escape from hectic situations.

I’m not an expert on Lifeweaver, but from what I’ve experienced, he can operate very well with practically every support hero. But he excels with support heroes that can deal out a ton of heals. So heroes like Ana and Baptiste (as another commenter pointed out) are especially good matches with Lifeweaver, they can heal up the teammates you pull out from a losing firefight. And throughout tussle you can alternate between providing minor heals and dealing out decent poke damage.

Also I had no clue his dash ability healed him, I just thought I was somehow good with dodging and retreating 😂

An additional fact is that if you place the tree on the pay load the tree will move with the payload.

[thestaronoff]

Know this is an older video but bravo my dude. Instant like and instant sub! This is exactly what I needed and got me so enthusiastic to get back out there. Literally no bullshit just straight up high ceiling skill made usable for someone trying to learn. I was really stumped for awhile after trying my best I usually play Moria/mercy but you changed my thinking and your energy and voice made me super excited to try again with lifeweaver so thank you. Super excited to watch the rest of your videos. Lol hope your latest one saying you are quitting overwatch is clickbait 😅😂😢

[rythis]

1:38 actually, you only get slowed 1 second after you reach full charge, so technically 2 seconds of holding the blossom

[BlackFlame]

Now we need a map for lifeweaver guide.

[crazyfish]

When I play quick play after we win a team fight I try to pre place my platform but my teammates just jump on and and the jump of it just waisting my platform

[Panthers-wtoe]

Honestly I got LW recently and just haven't picked anyone else, I've outhealed so many other supports and I absolutely love him

[TehJuiceBoks]

Woah that Sig ult tech took me by surprise
