Overwatch 2's Lifeweaver is already getting some changes

Lifeweaver only just joined Overwatch 2 a couple of weeks ago, but he’s already getting some big changes.

The latest support hero and healer, Lifeweaver joined the first person shooter earlier this month, but he’s already being treated to a onceover as fans found him to be a bit lacking. Compared to other supports, there wasn’t much going for him as a character that meant he was worth playing over any other. Lead hero designer Alec Dawson shared some of the changes coming to the character next week on a Twitter thread to highlight some of the potential improvements.

Lifeweaver’s ultimate ability Tree of Life, an ability that spawns a tree that heals anyway within its radius, has had its health raised from 1000 to 1200, and its per pulse healing has been raised from 50 to 75.
