Do your ranked teammates do this as Lifeweaver...? | Spectating Overwatch 2 

I once pressed "E" instead of "Shift" and pulled my tank off the cart on 3rd point Gibraltar when the enemy had like 3ft. to push. I was amazed nobody said anything about it

I was really confused as to why we had a gold lifeweaver, good thing Green Screen Emongg was here to explain

If I was this tank, the majority of these pulls would drive me up the wall

Hey! This is in fact, me. Thank you for taking the time and effort to review my game, I really appreciate it. I absolutely admit I was on some shit when I was pulling orisa--my support i-know-better brain rot was especially strong during that game. Thank you for pointing out why that's a bad decision--I will not be doing that again lol. I'll also start using tree more aggressively, and use my petals more often. Thanks so much!!

"Ok...today's video! We've got a gold Lifeweaver..." You know it's gonna be good after hearing that

My motto playing Lifeweaver is "Never pull until absolutely necessary", which obviously doesn't mean I don't pull at all or make mistakes. It's just a good thought to have in the back of my head so when I actually really need to use lifegrip, I'm most likely to have the cooldown. Also timing is important because with that kind of thinking I still sometimes pull too late, either resulting in them being dead before it registers or worse I pull a teammate in front of me bc the intital target just died. Getting the hang of it over time though (also it reduces the amount of toxic teammates complaining that they got pulled even though it saved them but they are 100% certain they had that 1v4 which no, they did not)

Staring at the petal bit was hilarious lmao

that greenscreen bit where hes staring at the petal ability icon was inspired lmaoo

Not done yet but I noticed they often spam heal teammates when they’re full hp/pre-heal (something I catch myself doing as well) but it’s much better to wait till they actually need the heals to conserve the ammo. There’s a weird delay between lifeweaver reload and being able to charge your heals again that you want to avoid mid fight as much as possible and being more precise with the heals you send will help that a lot

As a LW main, this one was a little tough to watch lol. Petal is almost always on cooldown for me so to see this LW barely use it was a little confusing. Pulling can either be good or meh, usually the person either dies while I'm trying to pull them or another person moves in front just as I try to pull the person I'm going for making me look silly. LW has pretty good survivability and his Ult is really nice with the over health and immediate healing pulse along with LoS. I've been having a lot of fun with him but usually end up with little damage output with most heals which I'm trying to work on since he can output some decent damage.

Literally the definition of a LW that's just vibing. No abilities, just vibes.

I was playing Dva on last point dorado when the enemy reaper was ulting on the cart. I flew at him while DMing, but my LW pulled me away and the team ended up capping and winning.

You can start an orisa ult and have LW pull you into enemy territory and by that time orisa will be at 200% - insane trick I’ve seen

The Yoyo-weaver XD

He must have reached Gold with every other Hero ‘cause Lifeweaver just ain’t working for him.

I’ve pulled people on accident when they’ve stepped in front of the person I was trying to pull. I pulled a Sombra on my team once and didn’t even see her. I was so confused as she hadn’t been in my line of sight and it still pulled her. Some of my favorite pulls have been saving people from the well and pulling them out of Mauga and Sigma ultimates.

it made me so antsy that they really seemed to do everything to avoid attacking when there were so many downtime windows

Homie had his jump key taped down omg. I've never seen someone jump so much Also the spamming dash for no reason

Has anyone else seen the clip of the life weaver in over time, who threw the petal platfrom down onto the objective lifting their team up and away from the point. Causing them to lose.

This is so crazy to watch bc I’ll always be throwing petals to lift teammates to high ground or even just pre placing as a quick get away (cd starts when petals used, meaning my escape can get two petal uses meaning more escape time)

ALRIGHT SO!

yeah, with LWs Ultimate generation, sometimes I feel like Im playing in a forest!

When you pull them they get angry and go back in with even less thinking than before😅

Also, destroy your petals once you're done with them. I've had enemy teams use my petals against me before. 😂

Emongg you missed a few very key components. He jumps wayyyy too much and you can see he accidently dashes a LOT compromising his position. He got hooked because he kept spamming jump and dashed into the wide open

Fave part is the ALRIGHT SO

Had a Lifeweaver pull me in front of a nano-visoring soldier when I was out of his LOS, and then when I mentioned it he proceeded to tell me I sucked at the game.

I had a LW pull me as Ramattra and I almost ragged. Had both supports low, Hanzos in spawn, Phara just got caught by my Vortex. I break LOS at full health with Reaper next to me and Lucio on the way... get pulled. Second I get pulled Hanzo ults... get pulled right into Dragon, Reaper and Lucio don't see me get pulled, go in, get elimed, loose team fight.

"Stop jump like a little goat !"

I once got pulled while had 300 HP as Rein at the exact moment i hit the shatter button in front of 3 people, the hammer hit the ground right as the pull finished.

Imagine that ulting soldier up there with a petal

I tend to hold my petal alot depending on the comp and ult charges because there is alot of ults you can counter with it (zarya, dva, orisa, mei, etc) nothing is more satisfying then watching 4 teamates get pulled in by orisas ult and then just lifting her into the air to do 0 damage lol

I also will pull people who are low behimd cover if i need to reload as LW so they stay out of the line of fire for a few seconds because i know they will die if they stay there and I'm reloading

10:00 was his first tree lmao

someday im gonna play a ranked game and submit it. i feel so much out of place but gonna wait for season 9 now 😂

I remember one time I accidently pulled a mei away from her ult, I was trying to pull another teammate that was low hp but she ran in front the same time i went for a pull, and they tried to get everyone to report me for griefing lol.

1st round’s last pull was baaad. It fucked up the Ram.

Been playing as Rein. My input is to let the Rein try a play. Wait for it to go wrong and then pull them back. A good life weaver lets me do what I can and pulls me for the save. I have gotten so many plays and good kills because I get that one or two kills that would not work otherwise without Lifeweaver. Find the balance and yes, have a little faith in your tanks. I also just played a round of Lifeweaver and I have a lot more respect for you. It's a lot to keep in mind. Too many inputs for me.

i just started playing lifeweaver and am not even close to how much "trigger happy" he is with pull holy moly but i dont really use my petals that much unless my teammate is like in a corner (so they have time to notice they safe and dont run off it) or when theres tracer genji etc after me i just petal and continue healing

12:12 I would've tree'd to give orisa some more health while blocking off the junk

This lifeweaver also had 0 damage the entire first round. It's okay to do some damage when nothing is happening or when you have advantage in the team fight

I am not a Lw main, but I do sometimes play as him and I do use pull when my teammates are nearby, only to use the pull as some kind of a shield. Idk if that is a smart thing to do, but mostly it works 😅

Where can i leave my vod to review

Lifeweaver Petal is almost like Zarya Bubble how you always want one ready to go

So, so soldier76 got two visor’s in before Lifeweaver used two petals.

Man yea when u get pulled too much and for no reason. I just leave the game

i use petal CONSTANTLY as LW, them barely using it is confusing to me😭

You get really good at causing C9s for your team with Lifeweaver.

As a dva player nothing tilts me more then lw pulls. Sometimes the lw is really good, but usually I am losing my mind. Pulling me when I have jets and about to secure a kill or because they don't want me taking high ground, and then not pulling when I actually need it.

I can't count how many times I was pulled as DVa, while diving enemy backline and like leaving them with 20 hp, because LW pulled me away while I'm not even low hp, and even if I get my boosters back in time, the moment is gone... I stopped playing dive with LW, because how bad most of players on him are.

its VIDEO time!!

He has what i like to call the 'ants in my pants' playstyle, he needs to stop jumping in cover cuz that can end in a random headshot, also he needs a HUGE lesson to learn enviromental sounds because he used the air dash to 'move swiftly' in cover when is more like an emergency heal Can't say anything positive about pulls because most looked like panic pulls Good i watched this, didnt know the tree cancel because it doesnt appear in my hud 😮

This video hurts to watch. Emongg losing hair over this one😂😂😂

as u say urself, ppl love to push buttons. LW buttons are very awkward in this sense. not easily pushed randomly, not many scenarios to use unlike smth like nade or dash.

ITS VIDEO TIMEEEEEE

It’s beyond me how metal rank supports have such slow reactions

A bit of advice, if your orisa uses gold and then you pull she'll move. If you pull and then she uses gold, it'll break your pull. Shout out to the orisa at 20hp who ulted 1v5 while i was pulling her, immediately exploding on point and teaching me and the rest of the lobby a valuable lesson.

They always pull me in the middle of an ultimate AFTER I CLEARLY SAY what I’m going to do with that ultimate.. SMH He’s a good hero to have on your team but only if people play him right.. I hate getting LW “mains” on my team who have no idea what they’re doing which happens to be all the time.

I Love the green screen

100% would have reported this person for trolling if I was the tank. lol

they didnt use tree at all in the first round....or 2nd round...they want to use it for that big life saving momemnt...and then wasted it on after the captured point sadge.

With as many games that have been ruined for me on Doom by bad LWs who don’t understand I have THREE survivability cooldowns and am already on my way out, or farming an empowered punch with 250-300hp and slam ready, or already charging a punch which is gonna land me in the middle of nowhere if I get pulled, this is kinda cathartic to watch lol

Holy shit, how is this gold? The cd usage is just a crime…

My god this life weaver player triggered me so hard. 😂😂

Gold Lifeweaver: Am I using pull on my tank too much? Brone Lifeweaver: Sorry I pulled you into the Molten Core again. My bad.

As a currently gold 2 lifeweaver, here's how I play: 1. immediately before round ask the likes of soldier/cass/bastion/sojourn if they want a petal during their ultimates, turret form, etc. 2. ask them if possible to somehow voice chat/ping the enemy mid fight as a sign that they don't have any escape or heal cooldowns left so i know who to prioritize saving. Grips (apart from basic low health grips): 1. Grip out dva if she gets unmeched in the middle of the enemy team. her max health is way too low to risk any 1/2 health pulls. 2. grip someone out of mei's snowstorm/gravitron (if i can't petal them out)/sigma's ult (i haven't figured out timing for the tree yet)/dva bomb's LoS/junk tire/pulse bomb/etc. you can petal an ulting orisa to just deny her completely. healing a teammate in Mauga's ult is possible without entering it if you flick your cursor above the barrier right before releasing heal, it'll cause it to arc above into the cage fight. 3. In a teamfight when two or more people get low, I grip out a squishy or support so I can temporarily ignore them and focus on healing the other low health characters. 4. to get someone to high ground like a bastion or soldier 5. hog hooks/sombra hack&virus/genji dives/winston dive/dives in general 6. when mei is forced into her ice block in the middle of the enemy 7. did this recently but pulling in bob when he gets orisa spinned/rein charged out of position. 8. obviously if they fall down illios well/rialto bridge/etc. it's really buggy though. they either get caught on the ledge or once dragged through the damn floor. petal: 1. immediately near me/others to get to high ground, or leave on the ground as a winston/sombra/genji escape pad. 2. petal teams out of gravitron surge (i did this twice in one round once, don't think the enemy zarya ever got one off lol). 4. petal stunned/frozen/slept enemies (shatter/snowstorm/sleep, etc). petaling someone on a junk trap won't release them, but it can get them out of LoS of the enemy. 5. petal an ulting junkrat or bastion in case they get dived on. 6. petal bob works surprisingly well. if its an enemy bob in the middle of the fight petal him up creating safe zone under him. if its a friendly bob decently far away petal him up for LoS. 7. as a basic shield tbh. unless i'm alone people just start ignoring me and go after other characters instead of breaking the petal. 8. I've seen ReformedRavi do this but petaling a mercy away from their rez/petaling a hog right after he hooks to deny the one shot. I haven't been able to replicate these yet. 9. somehow if your heals are at 0, you can get another for free by throwing out a petal while charging heals simultaneously. 10. I have no idea if this is a bug/random fluke/particular circumstance required, but sometimes I have managed to hold the payload while standing on my petal above it. shift: really only a couple uses. basic health regen. getting out of spawn slightly faster. getting far away from enemies such that when I petal they can't follow me up. speed burst so i can get in LoS fast enough to heal/grip/tree. tree: either right in the middle of a teamfight. off to the side/in a doorway to block a side-path so we don't get flanked. (if the doorway is too wide, place it on either side to force a narrower choke). trap someone so they can't retreat, like on the side stairs up from circuit royal after first point. behind the tank so their supports have to move around more. btw you can cancel it if unneeded to build back ult charge faster. you can't build trees while it's up. thorn volley: surprisingly high damage if you can hit your shots. Just aim roughly at head height and jiggle around. 1. spam chokes/dive characters if you don't have an escape option. 2. random sombra sprays. 3. if your team gets a sleep/shatter/gravitron/etc. 4. spray widows/anas/ashes. they don't move around much when scoped in so its a decent way to kill time until you auto reload. 5. around 20-40 bullets is enough for your heals to reloard. 4. last ditch overtime solo until your team gets back. I managed to hold havana defense first point with my tree just hopping around like this.

the problem with lifeweaver is even when a lifeweaver makes a good pull on me it still doesnt feel good to be pulled

I hate lw as a tank player. 99 times out of 100 that I get pulled a single healing flower would have been enough. Like you can heal without pulling you know? And I’ve gone for plays so many times to just be shut down by my own team. Only one pull in 100 is good and appreciated

I hate lifeweaver players who use pull as like a mini Immortality field, just press it when the tanks low no matter how close you are. Nothings more confusing mid fight than seeing that you're being pulled and you just travel an inch to your right

idk why this video did so poorly, it is well made 😢

4:00 wasn’t a bad grip btw. he literally saved the Ana. you can literally see “Saved Ana”.

I just cannot get used to the horrible green-screening ;(

Firstt

Life weaver pull is just as strong if not stronger than Kiris suszu

Wifeleaver behaviour

I can’t watch this. I hate life weaver. Some of them are great, but most of them have no aim and no game sense and actively throw my games. I hate that character so much. Don’t pull me. Just heal and leave me alone.

Day 22 I’m on my knees begging wear a green shirt for a video

How on earth little bro is in gold playing like that? He looks like he must be in aluminum 5

glorified heal bot.. and not a very good one
