TBF there are players who want to healbot and support their allies so they can pop off. Mercy's a popular character even though none of her main tools interact with enemies.
(I realize Mercy has the damage boost, but from a "game feeling" perspective there isn't any difference between pocketing your allies with a yellow beam and pocketing your allies with a blue beam.)
Also I actually think the Petal Platform is really fun, lol.
He also can't miss, doesn't have to spend any time aiming, rarely has reload downtime, and can even arc his shots around barriers. It's true that being a healbot by design boosts his healing up further, but his healing shot is really, really good. Theoretical numbers don't tell the full story in Overwatch.
FWIW, I think Lifeweaver's actually good in his niche (defensive healbot) and is liable to be quite strong when he gets buffs this patch. I played a game with a Lifeweaver yesterday and he carried us through the first fight on the point by keeping people alive in situations they had no right to be alive in. The brawl went on for a while, but it ended with everyone on our team alive.

That Ult is gonna be SO satisfying to slap people stuck in a Grav with. Very cool kit, healing turret is gonna make for some very fun defensive positions on certain maps. I wonder if Sym will be able to TP it whenever she wants like Torb turrets/Bob.
Illari's design looks fantastic, bravo Blizzard.
Disregard this post 3 hours from now if I comeback in the thread raging about her.
Another video. Looks like they're all rolling out.

Can't believe nerfed Mercy just to preemptively save us from Mercari.

That's just the 'destroy turret' button, like Torbjörn has.

Theory crafting fun healing turret spots in my head. She's gonna be a menace on KoTH maps. Her and Pharah are probably gonna be gross together with the right positioning. So excited to play around with her!
Finished the first mission, it was alright. Took about 15 minutes on normal. I'm curious to see how much more difficult the higher difficulties are. There's something strange in the last part of the mission where the instructions characters call out to do are not correct.
There's 17 heroes in the missions apparently. Mercy is seen in the Rio missions
Can you play the Story Missions with friends if only 1 of you buys it, or does everyone need it?
I'm not a fan of Illari's gun at all. Rate of fire is too low and healing beam depletes very quickly. Her shots also don't feel satisfying at all to land. I think it's the sound design.

It feels more like an upsell for those buying the battle pass than something worth it on its own.
It's frustrating that the game doesn't teach people to avoid trickle/stagger given how vital it is on every mode, especially the two new ones.
Those are just for the PvE mode, no?
Also, finally:
Weird choice to make EMP not insta-kill Tree of Life anymore but I get why they want to make it stronger considering the complaints. I can see this getting reverted in the future though so I'm gonna try not to get too used to it as a LW main.
It's time for LiK to pay for his sins against Lifeweaver.
But it's not for PvP anyway.
OW is always good when Genji is good.
But it's not for PvP anyway.
When Genji is happy. Overwatch is thriving.
When Genji is sad, then the Watch gets the axe.
Yes
Folks at this stage trickle because they want to not because they don't know better.
Overwatch has always been a game notoriously bad at teaching the people how to play it. It is kinda crazy when you think about it. Something as basic as using highground or using cover behind walls eludes the playerbase and has for years.
I like LW but man I hate this. EMP should at least do something to it, like stopping its healing pulse. And consdering the tree is a wall, it can prevent people from being hit by EMP. I hate this.
Also...local pricing on Steam is just laughable. Activision gonna Activision.

I wonder if the game would be better off with respawn 'waves' to keep people together and a constant timer on the screen like how older games like Enemy Territory or Dirty Bomb handled it, just to teach people not to stagger and to wait for teammates.
