Lifeweaver is doing well right now, according to the Overwatch 2 developers, although they may be planning some improvements for him in Season 5. One week after his release, Lifeweaver’s hero received several upgrades and a significant control change, making his Overwatch 2 debut difficult.
But it hasn’t stopped the hero from receiving increasing amounts of criticism. Notably, Dafran, a Twitch streamer, rage-quit his games with the audience’s backing and vowed only to play him again until Lifeweaver received modifications. Game Director Aaron Keller recently shared potential plans for the hero that would make him more valuable and worthwhile to switch to as a support.
The Season 5 patch for Overwatch 2 will provide new Lifeweaver abilities and bonuses
Despite the negative feedback from the public regarding Lifeweaver’s performance, Keller claims that the team is generally satisfied with the hero’s statistics, which show a low death rate and a sound healing rate. According to Keller, Petal Platform and Life Grip were “just not being used well, either by Lifeweaver or his team,” who added that players weren’t always making the most of their hero’s kit.
As a result, the team has some ideas to modify the hero, including maybe granting him a new passive skill after his previous one, Parting Gift, was destroyed for aiding foes who killed him by providing them with a heal.

He said, “We’ll have modifications focused on further declaring Lifeweaver’s abilities and clearly defining his role on your team. We may make other changes along the road, like as modestly buffing his Thorn Volley and lowering hit volumes. This might involve giving some of his utility-focused skills more advantages or emphasizing his healing efficacy with a new passive. We’ll have to wait until Season 5 to see the next round of adjustments, but hopefully, by then, the new hero will have gained some more credibility.
