After reading a comment from a viewer on his stream that seemed to express disappointment in the lack of a new hero, Emongg attempted to cheer up fans by noting that a plethora of buffs that just went through for Lifeweaver might finally make the hero playable. \u201cI can show you a new character because this hero might be actually playable now,\u201d he said. \u201cLast season was like the beta test of Lifeweaver because Lifeweaver was not good.\u201d Lifeweaver received changes to nearly every aspect of his kit when the season five patch went live on Tuesday, and nearly every change was a notable buff. The hitbox of the petal ornaments on his back was reduced by 10 percent. Healing Blossom maximum healing was increased to 75, up from 65. Thorn Volley damage was increased to 6, up from 5; projectile radius was increased to 0.125, up from 0.1; and ammo was increased to 70, up from 60. Petal Platform walkable area was increased by 15 percent and the area to trigger its lift has been decreased to 0.75 meters, down from two, after its initial placement. Life Grip\u2019s cooldown was reduced to 16 seconds, down from 20, and it now heals target allies for 50 health. Tree of Life\u2019s ultimate cost was increased by 8 percent. Related: Here are the Overwatch 2 season 5 patch notes The only aspect of his changes that isn\u2019t a buff is the increase to his Ultimate cost, but as Emong noted on stream, the increase to his Ultimate cost is largely intended to account for how much faster he\u2019ll be able to build charge with his Healing Blossom and Thorn Volley changes. \u201cIf they increase the healing to 75, and it was already easy to get Lifeweaver\u2019s Tree and you also have healing now on your [Life Grip] pull, That means you\u2019re going to get your Ult quick now anyway,\u201d he said. \u201cSo they\u2019re just compensating for that buff. You\u2019re still going to get your Ult pretty quickly.\u201d In season four, stats from Overbuff showed Lifeweaver as having by far the worst win rate and lowest pick rate on the competitive ladder. With a win rate below 40 percent in Master and Grandmaster, it was clear that the handsome Thai man needed a lot of changes to his kit. Even with all of these buffs, it\u2019s still unclear if Lifeweaver will be a mainstay in the meta, but for the sake of support mains everyone, everyone has been rooting that he\u2019ll at least be playable.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/OVERWATCH2_SEASON5_GAMEPLAY_STILL04_16X9-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":889427,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385\/revisions\/889427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=889385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

After reading a comment from a viewer on his stream that seemed to express disappointment in the lack of a new hero, Emongg attempted to cheer up fans by noting that a plethora of buffs that just went through for Lifeweaver might finally make the hero playable. \u201cI can show you a new character because this hero might be actually playable now,\u201d he said. \u201cLast season was like the beta test of Lifeweaver because Lifeweaver was not good.\u201d Lifeweaver received changes to nearly every aspect of his kit when the season five patch went live on Tuesday, and nearly every change was a notable buff. The hitbox of the petal ornaments on his back was reduced by 10 percent. Healing Blossom maximum healing was increased to 75, up from 65. Thorn Volley damage was increased to 6, up from 5; projectile radius was increased to 0.125, up from 0.1; and ammo was increased to 70, up from 60. Petal Platform walkable area was increased by 15 percent and the area to trigger its lift has been decreased to 0.75 meters, down from two, after its initial placement. Life Grip\u2019s cooldown was reduced to 16 seconds, down from 20, and it now heals target allies for 50 health. Tree of Life\u2019s ultimate cost was increased by 8 percent. Related: Here are the Overwatch 2 season 5 patch notes The only aspect of his changes that isn\u2019t a buff is the increase to his Ultimate cost, but as Emong noted on stream, the increase to his Ultimate cost is largely intended to account for how much faster he\u2019ll be able to build charge with his Healing Blossom and Thorn Volley changes. \u201cIf they increase the healing to 75, and it was already easy to get Lifeweaver\u2019s Tree and you also have healing now on your [Life Grip] pull, That means you\u2019re going to get your Ult quick now anyway,\u201d he said. \u201cSo they\u2019re just compensating for that buff. You\u2019re still going to get your Ult pretty quickly.\u201d In season four, stats from Overbuff showed Lifeweaver as having by far the worst win rate and lowest pick rate on the competitive ladder. With a win rate below 40 percent in Master and Grandmaster, it was clear that the handsome Thai man needed a lot of changes to his kit. Even with all of these buffs, it\u2019s still unclear if Lifeweaver will be a mainstay in the meta, but for the sake of support mains everyone, everyone has been rooting that he\u2019ll at least be playable.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/OVERWATCH2_SEASON5_GAMEPLAY_STILL04_16X9-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":889427,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889385\/revisions\/889427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=889385"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=889385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
