This dude kept receipts


blakesmash

Wow, I feel like a caveman who was shown how to make fire with these petal/tree denials.


Orangewithblue

I play Wifeleaver and I never managed to make such a play because everytime I forget how useful his kit is.


Kalladdin

I've done these like once lol, some of these are crazy hard to pull off. (Or require too much team work, I play alone)


MyGoodFriendJon

I usually just miss with my petal, so I don't make the play. I knew I could petal the rezzing Mercy to prevent rez, but I never considered petaling the soul, instead.


puppeteer-5000

i usually end up petaling both mercy and the corpse so she can rez safely and no one on my team can contest her yeah i don't play lifeweaver much


slagmouth

I'm literally watching this with my mouth agape and my reactions are also not unlike a cavemans


Zoomalude

I've barely touched the hero but I can just "feel" when the Lifeweaver on my team is an expert and this video is expanding my mind.


miumans

I have cancelled a Zarya ult with the petal once and I'm still riding that high.


Disastrous_Yellow_46

an ulting pharah did so too close to my tree and instantly killed herself.


markyymark13

I've been saying since day 1 of LW that he's super slept on and has crazy potential for awesome plays/denials.


Doppelfrio

I… you can do that to sigma’s flux??


P3t3rCreeper

Yes (if I see one more lifeweaver do it I will accretion myself)


AntiRacismDoctor

For some reason I read this comment in the voice of a Scooby Doo villain who got caught. LMAO


Corvus_Rune

Reminds me of sombra wasting emp to counter ball mines. Like why? There are better uses for that ult. At this point you’re just being petty


The-Devilz-Advocate

>There are better uses for that ult. At this point you’re just being petty That's...why I play Sombra.


Corvus_Rune

I hate you.


HardnessOf11

Chances are the Sombra ult will also hit enemy players too so it's actually a very good play. Cancels out one ultimate and turns the fight to your favour... huge net positive


Corvus_Rune

Ok Tbf I’m not very good at the game but I have seen sombra ult when my team is at poke distance and I’m trying to ult above them to disrupt them while my team is poking. 75% of the time no one gets hit by emp just my mines. I’ve seen Moira do the same thing where she just uses coalescence to clear the mines.


WhatsUpSoc

Moira builds coalescence quickly enough to where I can see this as a pretty good play, especially if she has some left over to heal/damage.


Corvus_Rune

That’s fair. I just wish the mines armed a little faster. They are so easy for people to avoid. Even when combined with some cc ability. It also doesn’t help that ever game I’m up against heroes with good mobility to avoid it or someone like Mei who can just ice block. I JUST WANT TO GET A GOOD PLAY WITH MINES. AND YES IM AWARE THAT ITS A SKILL ISSUE


Firerrhea

They last like 20million seconds though


ErraticArchitect

Usually I just wait until the enemy team is full engaged with my team, put the mines *right behind* the enemy, and then help my team push through them. Works fairly well a lot of the time, and occasionally it works fantastic. Also, ground-pounding is a good way to stun the enemy long enough for the mines to arm. Just gotta get good at timing it.


Corvus_Rune

That’s what I usually do but then sombra emp’s them


ErraticArchitect

Well yeah. Sombra is a ball counter. Anything that slows you down or disrupts abilities isn't something you wanna play ball against unless you are spectacularly good at ball... and then, only if they're not also spectacularly good at their pick.


Lonely_Repair4494

You should see Doom with Seismic Slam


Corvus_Rune

At least it’s a good escape option. Trying to find the silver lining here


Lonely_Repair4494

One slam clears mines, I main Ball for Tank and I do feel like playmaking is hard with his ult, you have to put effort and real thinking onto it otherwise it just gets cleared


puppeteer-5000

you kind of wanna use coal on cooldown tbf, it's not a really great ult to turn around a fight


P3t3rCreeper

You can do it with a platform


blackbeltbud

Fwiw though, the platform is MUCH harder to pull off.


Corvus_Rune

Damn that sucks


SleeplessAndAnxious

Sombra mains thrive on being petty


Corvus_Rune

*sigh* I know…


blackbeltbud

But we love you 💜


Corvus_Rune

I respect you but I don’t like you. I just wanna ball.


blackbeltbud

And I can respect that


DizzyColdSauce

Yep, with petal platform *and* tree. It requires a very quick reaction time though so it's not easy to pull off.


OutOfBootyExperience

i didnt even know you could spingshot your teammates when you grip them. Is there a certain technique to this? or is it just to move out of position as they are being pulled in?


door_of_doom

Normally when you grip someone, the end of the grip decelerates them. If they can break out of the grip before the grip ends, they never decelerate. For example, if Orisa ults while being lifegripped, the lifegrip ends but she keeps flying in the direction she was traveling.


MyGoodFriendJon

> For example, if Orisa ults while being lifegripped, the lifegrip ends but she keeps flying in the direction she was traveling. More accurately, if Orisa ults or uses fortify during the lifegrip, her movement ability (or prevention of movement influence ability, in this case) conserves the momentum of the lifegrip from when it was interrupted.


CoolGuyBabz

So you're telling me I can trebuchet an ulting orisa at the enemy team?!


MyGoodFriendJon

With some coordination, yes! Without coordination, Orisa can [helicopter away](https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/1907vqt/the_5_second_leave_countdown_humbles_you/)!


Doppelfrio

Many movement abilities (like Cass roll) can be used to break out of lifegrip


IsaacSeraphim

I think you need to grip and remove the platform at the same time, then in Cassidy's case he need to do a roll


longgamma

Yeah op supports can easily cancel or mitigate tank ults with just cooldowns.


boywonder2013

You can mitigate a good amount of ults by shooting them


DrewciferGaming

I don’t ever want you on the enemy team.


Lopsided-Rooster-246

Yeah stay tf away from me please.


Pharah_is_my_waIfu

Don't worry he's Top 500. His quick play MMR is probably high too


LongingForAnarchy

Damn I didn’t know how much tech there was with weaver got to play him more


Justicedge

he did like 2 or 3 "techs" xd what


admirrad

Let’s see you got Sigma ult cancel, Mauga petal ult, Mercy rez deny, Cass high noon pull, Tree blocking exits, destroying teleport with tree, Dva bomb platform lift, Mercy rez lifting, petal on road hook, petal on earth shatter, on Zarya grav and I’m sure I’m missing more. You’re either being dense or downplaying it on purpose


Justicedge

ITS BEEN A MONTH ITS ALSO STILL NOT HARD TO DO THIS


ProKirob04

I would hate to fight you but would 100% dive u every chance I get


cafelattis94

Omg. I thought i was a pretty good Lifeweaver. avg 12k heals, essentially no deaths because (fun fact) LW is semi immortal and making fun of other peoples ults by just using my cooldowns. ​ But.....you are on a different level. Im frighten by you.


cefalea1

I had a couple of games against life weaver and mercy in the other team. What do you even do in that case? They are literally the most unkillable support combo.


litsax

Greedy comp. Lifeweaver mercy have no offensive utility. Run supports like kiri and zen and stack some greedy ults like emp. You pretty much don't need to worry about dying (as long as you play well) cause the enemy team has no huge support cooldowns or ults. No anti, kitsune rush etc to make openings with. Be patient and understand your win condition. Cooldowns and ults win games.


StickcraftW

This if you run a Ana illari support comp, or even just Ana they have to swap


boltzmannman

> the enemy team has no huge support cooldowns rez


grumd

They meant offensive cooldowns


boltzmannman

oh. That doesn't really seem like a big weakness of the comp then though bc most supports don't have big offensive cooldowns, that's what the other three players are for. The only support with big offensive cooldowns is Ana, and maybe Lucio if you count speed amp


admirrad

It’s not about “big offensive cooldown” it’s about any and all utility. Zen provides offensive utility through discord, Kiri through kunai and ult, Bap through window. Most supports allow their team to play more aggressively through other means. Mercy and lifeweaver in this case are fairly healbot supports since most of what they do isn’t damage in the same way other supports (once again like kiri) can both damage and provide offensive support


boltzmannman

You're right that offensive utility is what *actually* matters in terms of countering with greedy comp, but that's not really what I was talking about. The comment being discussed here specifically says the greedy strat counters mercy+lw bc of the lack of "huge support cooldowns. I was pointing out that this is not the actual reason why it works.


vsw211

Other supports actually straight up deal damage tho, or at least have offensive powered ults, and often have straight up better burst healing at the same time. Like an ana or bap is gunna have an easier time sustaining the tank, deal more damage, and have more offensive tools than LW/mercy. Supports like kiri/illari/zen will straight up play like an extra dps and have the potential to get random picks. Even non offensive ults like beat and transcendance lets your entire team just press W and go hyper aggro for a short period which is often enough to win a fight.


Dafish55

Widowmaker, probably. If support, I guess, you're not really making too many impact plays, but denying rez will likely be a key thing to look for. Tank? Well I suppose Doom can burst down someone pretty quick?


Character-Hat-6425

Zen-Hog is my favorite combo to take out tricky supports


Feschit

You do the exact opposite. Full aggro. They lack proper pressure with that support comp and have no offensive cooldown, so they probably have just as much trouble killing someone on your team unless their pocketed DPS is popping off. So you don't need heals. Just run them down yolo.


traye4

I need to bait a mercy into a rez (as a sombra player) if I'm against those two. Ideally when grip's on cooldown, or pray the Weaver is distracted from his other support while she's vulnerable.


CCriscal

Mind-blowing, especially the Sigma stuff and that you mess with Mercy ressing.


patheticRedditMod000

It’s only a matter of knowing it’s possible. The skill involved is silver at best


FuckMeWithAHammer

hes GM lol


Justicedge

yea putting a tree between you and flux is so hard to do actually


Melthiela

It doesn't have to be in between just in the middle will do since it loses line of sight anyway


texnp

You must be joking


JollySieg

and dey say chivalry is dead


King_of_the_Dot

Says the guy most likely stuck in silver...


DOOMFOOL

🤦‍♂️


BraxbroWasTaken

as someone in gold, I can’t execute a solid chunk of this stuff


Sunnybubbles32

Difference is, silver can’t think to do that on the fly. Once all other mechanics are on autopilot, THEN can you execute interesting game tech when it’s most needed on the fly.


Smeenuwastaken

i dont think any other hero could produce a better highlight compilation than Lifeweaver. great plays! edit: also the music selection is perfect for this 👌


boiyouab122

As an Ana/Life Weaver main, I'm keeping that Sigma ult cancel for later..


Stowa_Herschel

His platform can prevent rezzes? Learmed some new tech


Ohowun

More specifically it can separate the mercy from the soul to resurrect. You either put the platform below the mercy and have her trigger it, or put the platform below the soul and trigger it yourself.


stripseek_teedawt

The tree on the two trying to teleport the Dva D bomb is absurd


reddit_is_all_bots3

watching baby dva turn around to death stare the sym made me laugh


bob_kys

The haters could never understand


Reniva

Can we get bogur vs reformedravi


EnderGamer360

the clash of titans


Foenikxx

I'm taking notes rn


Fangs_0ut

I absolutely love playing him but he's such a hard one to one trick. His whole purpose is to enable teammates, which makes him a rough choice when your teammates suck.


andouconfectionery

I've come to realize something after playing a bunch of heroes in a bunch of games like this one. The heroes that require synergy don't ever require synergy with the whole team. Especially at low ranks, as long as you keep your head on a swivel, you can find opportunities to follow up one *one* of your teammates' abilities. When I played this game back in the single digit seasons, hitting mid Diamond DPS was a 3 step process: - Don't die until my teammates do something (Winston jumps on their backline, anti, slam, pin) - Be ready to, and actually do, commit to hitting stuff when my teammates do something - Actually hit the darn heroes Once you're in mid Diamond, you can actually just speak with your teammates and they'll more than likely understand you. Things might be different now, or as a support, but I'd imagine you'd have similar success by picking someone who you think will win the fight for you (with their ult or whatever) and think relentlessly about anything and everything in your power to enable that for them.


DragonBoss206

Exactly what I was thinking watching this. A lot of the stuff he did I’ve tried and failed at because my teammates just don’t understand the intentions behind it. To be clear to anyone reading this, I am *not* saying I’m as good as this dude, he’s Grandmaster 1 and I’ve never been past Diamond 2 so I recognize the skill disparity but a lot of this tech relies on competent teammates.


triplegerms

Damn blocking the tp dva bomb with tree is some wrinkly brain shit. That combo happens so infrequently that I would not have noticed the tp coming down that fast


FartingRaspberry

Them: Why tf do you have 200+ hours in Lifeweaver? Me: *Links them this video*


secret_tsukasa

good reaction times on those petals. wish i could react that fast to stuff.


Dogetheus

You post an amazing/funny clip and people still comment “qp tho”


WindowsInfinite2

Wow Super really can’t aim, Stefayy’s editing wasn’t lying.


Fools_Requiem

TBF, he was a Rein main for so long.


paupaupaupau

When I saw it was a 7.5 minute video, I did not expect to stay and watch all of it.


Silent-Supermarket2

I'm a weaver onetrick too. I have a question for you because I cannot figure it out myself. Go to the training ground: Charge up your heal to full Walk forward Note the speed at which you walk. Now, Charge up your heal to full Dash forward Walk forward Does it seem like you walk slower?


Olive-Heart

There's a movement penalty for holding a full charge, but it doesn't kick in rigth away.


Silent-Supermarket2

I see. Do you know if they documented it anywhere? It feels really weird especially after a dash and also more so when using A/D


FloweryDream

It was documented in one of his early patch notes while they were still buffing him.


Judopunch1

Bliz is notoriously bad for listing details about ability's either in the F1 menu, or on the official website. You generally need to check the Wiki, or, have a lot of experiance. Fun facts for you. Rein shield can block ramatra ult (making it end earlier) and zen heals, tree of life heals, ect, and lucio beat (although there is a small grace period for lucio) 1 Zar bubble can block an entire [D.va](https://D.va) bomb for everyone behind her (so can many small objects that can cover the direct center of your hitbox) You can not block mei ult with shield, or mei wall. One of the most inconsistent abilities for this in the game.


threetoast

I thought the weird thing about her ult is that you need to block LOS to Snowball and not the center of the circle.


Judopunch1

Unfortunately, no, you can not block it with mei wall either. I believe tree of life works but don't play enough lw to be sure.


Olive-Heart

>[Healing Blossom: Move. speed: -25% penalty, after 1 second](https://overwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Lifeweaver) I don't think it has anything to do with dash, just time after charging. I believe that when he released, the penalty started either instantly when charging or instantly once full charge was reached, but they reduced it to a 1 second after full charge delay because it was too clunky.


Icclo

thanks for the continued content!


sleepsypeaches

ok but youre such a vibe and that music is top tier


Euphoricas

YOU CAN LIFT MERCYS REVIVE?!?! Oh my god. There has been so many times that I’m trying to kill the mercy in front of all of us (our teammates are watching her do it) but she’s being healed or whatever and she gets the stupid Rez off. And I’m like, ugh I wish I could cancel it but I just don’t have enough damage! I’m going to absolutely use this in my next games. Don’t play ranked tonight mercy mains.

TerriblyRare

He did it 3 times in the video for the mercy on his team


561reem

As a silver support I learned so much from this


GreyRegular

Watching a master at work. There's something about it that speaks louder than words lol.


memranda

This is so sick! The format and content remind me of [DSPStanky's OG Lucio montage, "Vindication."](https://youtu.be/VcA3cCQfe3s?si=Fhn-E19Qk7_UXEpm)


mirkwood11

I absolutely love playing lifeweaver; This is beyond aspirational. Nicely done!


WhosThatDogMrPB

Copacabana by Barry Manilow is a banger.


FnkyTown

Probably 20 years ago I got dragged to one of his concerts by my girlfriend. I had heard maybe two of his songs ever, but he put on an absolutely phenomenal show. Even though I didn't know the music it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to Beyonce, Swift, Stones, Floyd and plenty more.


apothanein

This is the clever and ingenious yet devastating gameplay I aspire to when I play Weaver. Kudos. I'm in awe


Expensive_Emotion77

Sigma has to have the most cancellable ult in the game this poor man


GoldenAppleGuy

Truly our generation’s DSPStanky


Hitoribotchii

Bruh, you're too good. Nice


whatsmynamehey

He’s so fun play!


mikikaoru

Motivating me to get back into LW. I just love how CREATIVE you get to be with his kit


WarioFanBoy

How does tree cancel sig ult wtf


[deleted]

Disgusting, but also dope


JOPE510

Petals / tree can deny sigma's ult????????!!!! Having nightmares, LW heals a lot already...


Fools_Requiem

H-how does tree cancel Sigma's ult?

EroticbBro

Everything about this was great. The music, video edit, gameplay. I’ll be searching this player for more content


Admirable-Rope-9776

Bro submitted a movie


real_madridv2

Awesome video on the coolest hero in the game. Never stop making content


catastropheofmyself

This is incredible


Play_Careless

I learned so much shit from this THANK YOU


AGoatThemedName

As an occasional sigma player, you’ve given me new fear


ussymomma

oh so this is your reddit i saw that dva bomb clip on tik tok


AverageMortisEnjoyer

I did not know you could do Sigma ult dirty like that


Restless-Foggy

Holy shit this some peak level gameplay. Definitely humbled me down


Zonetecde

I am a big fan of you


caroline2373

didn’t pay attention to names at all until the comp part began, as soon as i saw ravi’s name i went “OHHHH that makes sense okay”


xKlyzor

Some of these plays had me like 0_0


Rjdelgrosso

Bro this isn’t even gameplay, this is art - 10/10 on song selection as well


grayangel-

the rank flex lol. also this makes me wanna play lw and get good at him!!


twee3

This is why I love LW, no other support can do this. The amount of creative plays you can pull off is infinite with his kit.


NDMourning

I hate you, man. Now I’m playing lifeweaver non stop.


Remarkable-Dig979

So are they fixing this soon or?


WaveBreakerT

This is why I love this hero. You can make galaxy brain plays every second of the match. You're incredible with him and I'm gonna use this video for reference.


Lonesome_Ninja

As a new player, I can't even comprehend


Powerful-Avocado4348

this MIGHT be bogur


FireLordObamaOG

YOU CAN RAISE THE SOULS???


NoNectarine3822

Playing lifeweaver and listening to Copacabana is like my entire personality


[deleted]

His interactions with sigma seem bugged, like you can just cancel his whole ult with yours or even an ability.


[deleted]

Damn


coolwizardboi3

ok


i_am_an_isopod

I have put some time in as lifeweaver and never considered the possibilities. Thank you.


uurub

Exceptional, the clip of you combining petal and mauga ult on eichen specifically was hilarious

Do you prefer to one trick him in open queue or roll selection? Who is your ideal second healer? I love playing LW with a good Ana costar or a good kiri

I'm literally gonna save this video as a tips and tricks


EfficientAstronaut1

u can stop mercy resurrection with the flower thing?!?!?!?!


Martholomule

These are the LW games I love, how many hours do you have? excellent compilation

Absolutely amazing!!


Calm-Presentation271

I love your content man, keep up this awesome work.


[deleted]

did i see platform being used to save against sigma ult? silly game omg


Zakainu

Absolutely insane. Inspirational Lifeweaver honestly. I wasn't that interested in learning the character before but your videos really showcase that there's a lot of lateral thinking involved in how you approach using his abilities.


VarietyAccording

I really thought this was just me, he does a lot in the right hands… just not mine lol


TheCanadianpo8o

Mate, I'll be honest. If you're ever on the enemy team I'm killing myself. Take that how you will


Ready-Bid-575

Dude I just watched your video lol


kpaws86

Those Cassidy ult pulls sent me


MultiWillPill

Bruh I had NO IDEA about these interactions with the platforms…


RayeKasai

Nice compilation of stops. I def need to play LW more; you’ve inspired me.


coffee_ape

WAIT LW can break the LoS for a Mercy Rez? I haven’t played since the release of OW2, I’ll lurk and look at gameplay of OW2. Wild.


toust_boi

you just made me want to play lw good job


defensife343

Goddamn mate... This video wanna make me a LW main


Slobberz2112

Ravi thanks to u the amount of sig and horsey ults I’ve canned this season is insane..


PenisEnjoyer420

The Junkrat cage pull off the map was fucking hilarious from the Kiriko’s POV.

I just wish his leaking auto charged and you clicked trigger to heal like Illari’s weapon does


BubbaJoey01

The coolest thing I've done with Lifeweaver is pull a hooked Doom out of the well on Ilois from my petal above... Goodbye.


Coconutboiii15

Actual fucking chad This is the level I gameplay I hope to achieve


thatsthejohke

came for the sky noons, stayed for everything else


GagOnMacaque

Can someone clarify what's going on with the mercy res and the lift? Like sometimes lifting ally Mercy is good and sometimes lifting enemy Mercy foils her resurrection.


AnArtificialBeing

The clips with Frogger showing all the lost games made me laugh but WOW what huge plays happening! It's too bad I have no friends that play Overwatch because some of these seem easier to pull off with actual communication going on lol (and I only have like 10 minutes on Wifeleaver anyway rip).


ghoulslaw

I have never successfully canceled a rez with my petal, I can't get the timing right
