With Reddit users debating whether or not the new hero should be the first Support to have 250 health, Overwatch 2 players are still gaining their bearings about the new Support hero Lifeweaver. The Overwatch community is always engaged when discussing adjustments and enhancements to the game that they think will improve the experience. Players have been more active than ever in this area since Overwatch 2 went live at the end of 2022.
The Support hero role has been the topic of discussion in the community most recently. In particular, Lifeweaver should be the first Support character with 250 HP. Players started debating whether or not this move would be advantageous to the game and Lifeweaver in a new Reddit thread. One Overwatch player defended their position on why they believe Blizzard should make this modification to the latest Support hero to be added to the game in a new Reddit thread titled, “Make Lifeweaver the first 250 health support”.
Since then, players have left comments on the post discussing the issue and expressing their opinions on whether or not they support this proposed change. One contributor went into great detail as to why they felt that Lifeweaver would not benefit from the modification. “I don’t think they will give him 250 health because he has high Survivability, unlike Reaper, Torb, and Mei, who, despite having their survival abilities, must remain in the front lines (or back lines, depending on how you play Reaper), or a vast Hitbox like Bastion. He might have a significant amount of regeneration if they gave him 225 health and perhaps a shield, making it more difficult to kill him.
Players of Overwatch 2 discuss whether Lifeweaver should have more significant health
They should keep the 200 HP, turn 50 of it into shields, and reduce his hitbox. I believe it increases his Survivability, but not to the extent where killing a Lifeweaver becomes difficult.
A different user, though, commented that it was “simply lazy to make him a solid pick by boosting the numbers on all of his stats till he is busted. He needs to be transformed into a real supporter who takes action. Would Lifeweaver be the first Support to reach 250 Health? Or would this modification encourage players to employ him more aggressively, effectively elevating his role to that of a Support hero?
