Overwatch 2’s brand-new assistance hero Lifeweaver is currently precious for his style and lore, yet there’s simply one trouble: Players despise just how he manages. So, Blizzard is offering Lifeweaver a fast overhaul.

Game supervisor Aaron Keller announced Tuesday that, after frustrating responses regarding Lifeweaver’s cumbersome inputs and also gamers uploading their very own recommended keybindings, the hero will certainly obtain an upgrade. The modifications seem like they’ll go a lengthy method to making Lifeweaver really feel much better to play and also be a lot more in accordance with various other Overwatch heroes.

Here’s what’s transforming, according to Keller:

• Thorn Volley, Lifeweaver’s strike that discharges a spread of projectiles, will certainly currently be his alt fire. The launch variation of Lifeweaver calls for gamers to switch (utilizing the 2 secret or exactly on a D-pad) to Thorn Volley from his key fire, Healing Blossom, comparable in the manner in which Mercy and also Torbjörn swap their key fire. It shows up that Thorn Volley will certainly currently be mapped to the appropriate computer mouse button/left trigger on a gamepad.
• The auto-reload timing of Thorn Volley has actually been decreased to make up for the above modification.
• Petal Platform changes Rejuvenating Dash on capacity 1 (change key/L1/left bumper), and also the system will certainly be cancelable utilizing the exact same switch.
• Rejuvenating Dash has actually been transferred to increase dive, relatively comparable to just how Hanzo utilizes his Lunge capacity.

Keller states that these brand-new controls will certainly end up being Lifeweaver’s default design, yet that gamers will certainly have alternatives to utilize “the old style” if they desire. It seems like equilibrium modifications for Lifeweaver are likewise coming — Keller meant “a buff” for the brand-new hero — which lead hero developer Alec Dawson will certainly share a lot more later on today.

Lifeweaver was contributed to Overwatch 2 on April 11, as component of the game’s fourth season. Lifeweaver is offered to play currently with the game’s period 4 superior fight pass and also in the limited-time BOB and also Weave game setting, yet he’s presently limited from affordable play.
