    We were worried about the troll liability or Lifeweaver. These clips prove we’re not good enough to troll a damn thing. Not for a long time
  • @ooochoa
    To be fair, i suck at him because i haven't unlock him.
  • @sylvrwolflol
    Like Symettra, the most important element of elite gameplay is knowing when to swap off
  • @Rechsiren
    There's a hidden nerve to lifeweaver's dash. Since you have to be in mid-air to use the dash, heroes like ramantra can prevent a lifeweaver from escaping their circle and the momentum tech to extend their dash is effectively removed as well. Overall it doesn't feel that good.

    11:45 I'd say there's one instance where it's important to stay on high ground and that's if you know you're about to get dived on. Using a petal while on high ground guarantees that you get the highest high ground. If the dive enemy player also ends up on your petal, you can dash away and escape all the way down to the low ground...and ideally petal back up again to high ground once they've chased you down. Lifeweaver can be a VERY slippery hero if you use him right.
  • Thanks for the advice on my match I submitted. That was the first time I managed to play Lifeweaver against other players so mix that with my other flaws like my habit of tunnel vision and I'm going to have a lot of flaws.

    I like LW and I think he's pretty strong, but I still don't know why I would ever switch to him right now. Like, I don't think there's a situation that I would want to switch to him over other healers.
  • He's fun I've been practicing a lot with him an got 21k healing in game. Hear is the easy way to play him. You stay in the far back an heal like ana an zen bam there ya go

    Love your guides man! Been trying really hard to get used to the character
  • @artikll
    i love those vod reviews but i think it'd be nice if you also mentioned things the player did well :D for example when that lifeweaver used platform to get him and his teammate out of zarya grav, that was quite huge
  • @-NoNo.
    The one thing I don’t like is how they made his dash a double jump and yiu can’t get the benefit of fast primary switch without the double jump control. Having to double jump adds an extra input and since overwatch is a heavily fast paced game, that extra input can and will be the difference between life and death.
  • If everyone sucks doesn't that mean we all are average? 😂
  • @ghoulbuster1
    They should implement the parting gift passive into the Tree ultimate, when it gets destroyed the tree drops it.
  • I’ve mained lifeweaver in comp for 24 straight hours now and gone from silver 2 to bronze 5 Proof that ow2 support role is a luck based game in terms of matchmaking. My own gameplay has only gotten better. I only use life grip to save teammates from ults and environment, but it doesn’t matter if they are completely incapable of killing anyone. I have anti dream luck. I use platform as an escape or as high ground for myself almost exclusively because if I try to pull up a hit scan all they do is walk right off.

    3:36, are you sure this dude is gold? he looks bronze like he literally doesnt even have basic movement mechanics down, he looks like he doesnt really understand how to even move inside the game, doing things like missing picking up the healthpack etc
  • @ryvyr
    Cheers for the breakdown Freedo :>
  • @ginpachi1
    The spongebob guy doing the turn around meme at the health pack killed me 😂😂😂
