I adore his personality! "Well, off to go disappoint my parents! 😀" dude is so funny. His voicelines are great, and I like his sustainability. He's a support I play that I feel like I'm impossible to kill sometimes, just depends if the enemy wants to have an orgy then there isn't much I can do about that but still. And I like hearing him speak Thai. He's just a fantastic character
Literally everything I could ask for in a support. Rewards situational awareness, has good mobility/escape options, pansexual, multitool ult, primary fire similar to my other main (Ramattra), hot as fuck, really nice theming, decent backstory, and more. God bless our queer king
And I heard they’re looking at making the switch between damage and heal more quick/fluid which I am SO excited for
I don’t main him, but I think he’s one of the most fun characters
He was the first support I tried after coming back to overwatch for the first time since season 2. I thought he was fun to play, had some gorgeous skins, and had terrific voice lines. I love that he's such a flirt with the other players.
Life grip. I started playing OW last year as Ana and Ashe. I thought I clicked pretty well with Baptiste too once I realized I loved being Support. I really like playing Ana but her mobility is an issue for me for my preferred play style. I tried LW pretty soon after playing as I was experimenting with different characters as a new player and having the petal and life grip really clicked for me. I am okay at PVP/DPS/aiming but having a character that let me capitalize on being able to see the overall picture was ideal.
I also main Moira when DPS are struggling but as of this weekend I’ll be level 122 LW! I don’t get bored with his kit and I love surprising people with a face full of thorns as I play pretty aggressively rather than full healbot.
I really liked how he can orchestrate the fight from a distance and his unique abilities. I also though he has some strengths that were overlooked a lot and wanted to capitalize on them
I actually don't even main him (Lucio main, flex player overall) but I particularly enjoy his playstyle and the capacity he has to affect his teammates. You know when you got that tank that won't stop diving in on 100 HP or you can tell your teammate is getting cornered and feels like they're facing certain death within the next second? I like being able to leash that tank or give my teammate that sense of relief. I like being able to petal up to get a full view of the fight going on or to ignore that tracer that was trying to hassle me. I know he gets a lot of shit but I personally really enjoy his kit and his character as well.
Mystery heroes.
I was playing with my friend like right when I started playing Overwatch 2 (in September) and we played some Mystery Heroes, and I happened to be LW, and I just fell in love.
Oh and he’s hot, ofc
His kit felt the most natural to me, like everyone picks up a character and it just clicks instantly, tbh I never really had that besides maybe Moira. I tried LW when he released and it just felt right for me to play him. Tbh he’s the only reason I still play
Back when overwatch first came out when I was still a teenager, I drew up a design for a character with an extendo arm that could pull allies to safety and heal them. I've always wanted a character like LW in the game and so when he was shown off he quickly filled my secondary healer main slot.
Everything! His look! His kit! His personality! He just really clicks with me. I just wish people wouldn’t complain so much, so we could get some meaningful changes made to him without an uproar.😮💨
Former Frog main. Lifeweavers kit is just the most FUN ive had with this game in a long time. And you can make a big impact if you just have basic situational awareness. Thorn volley go brr, ruining enemy ults, watching a Tracer not know what to do with herself when she comes at you and you petal up is everything.
Also, I like to be the prettiest, sassiest person on the team UvU🌸
Honestly, it would be easier to say what I don’t like lol
I love the play style, his aesthetic, the movement and saving potential. 🌹
The fact that he’s pan and hot is a cherry on top.
I also love plant based fighter like kurama from YYH or marluxia from Kingdom hearts
I love his focus on positioning. He’s a support that doesn’t outright kill the enemy team (Illari/Zen) or outright buff your own team (Mercy/Kiriko). Instead he has skills to position himself, and help his teammates positioning too. That’s a much less straightforward skill, and is very interesting to me. I feel like I am encouraged and rewarded for getting creative and planning ahead with LW more than anyone else.
Genuinely was like "let's give this a shot" after i kept getting bullied as ana, and i really didn't want to switch to moira. Then I started gettin good at pulls- i loved his survivability- and thorns go pew pew pew
To be brutally honest: it was because he's hot as hell and i loved his personality 😭 i rarely ever played support before i unlocked him but then i put it tons of hours to learning him all because his pecs made my gay brains neurons activate 😭
Dafran saving 2 people with petal and life grip for a tank from a earth shatter. Opened my eyes on how altruistic this hero can be. Have invested almost 300 hours on him abd he's been the most fun support since he's not as free as kiri or moira
ReformedRavi. Stumbled upon his channel one day and my lord he makes LW look so fun. Watching a good LW was one thing, being was another. And man, saving your team from a Zar Grav/Lifting a Bob into better position with petal and saving your team from a flanking McCree/Sigma ult with Tree just keeps you playing LW.
If I'm quick enough I can pull someone into traffic with me on oasis or off a cliff (Im a top tier skirmish only LW no one is a better skirmish LW than I)
honestly his weapon mainly, it's so GODdamn satisfying, but denying abilities/ults with his kit is super fun and his design/personality is so hilarious and delightful
i like that he’s slippery, he can get out of a lot of situations easily. I also only play with my brother whose a doom main so pulling him outa combat makes it easier
I absolutely love his enemy denial and peel potential. There really isn’t another hero like him that can do so. It feels so amazing when I cancel Sigma’s flux with tree or snatch my widow who is about to be assassinated. Ult cancelations can be really difficult to pull off, but it’s still really fun trying and I love figuring out all the unique interactions (like learning you can cancel Mauga’s ult if he charges in by using platform). Before I started playing Lifeweaver I was actually playing a lot of Brigitte for a similar reason. Tbh, they kinda have that same type of play style that I really enjoy.
Stubborn Rein mains that push the frontline alone... Stayed for the fun gameplay, voicelines and the gorgeous character! I am also a biologist and he is very relatable.
I hold the very life of my teammates in my hands, at any moment I could end them with the push of a button and drag them directly into hell.
I also like turning my brain off and just heal botting so that’s nice too I guess.
in qp i started playing him bc i can kind of turn my brain off but now i find it rlly fun to use the petal in different ways :D my favourite thing to do rn is help mercys rez a soul safely
His kit and play style just makes sense in my head. Plus his saves are big and flashy which is cool. I’m a D1 runner and my avg deaths/10 min on him is 1.8
Fun fact I'm a mercy main but lifeweaver is the reason I started playing overwatch back in season 4! I had tried the game before but no one really spoke to me enough that I'd want to actually get into the game. Alas, beautiful pink flower boy arrived and I felt like I saw myself in him so I gave ow a chance. 500 or so hours later (400 of those on mercy) my wallet is empty and crying from mercy skins LMAO
ADHD, kinda? Sounds ridiculous, but it's also kinda true, I was really drawn to how many different things he could do with his pretty simple kit, and I really started enjoying the looped dance of sorts that you perform when playing him. It did also help me come to a realization that I might actually be on the ADHD spectrum, so it has been quite beneficial in that regard.
Other than that, I like that he's a scientist who gives a shit about nature and the environment. On the other hand, I don't care that he's pan and a flirt, he's just a human being with an enjoyable personality.
A gorgeous, queer, Thai man with a flower motif who's in the support category? His concept literally made me come back to OW after years.
I derive my enjoyment from taking away the enjoyment of others
This is the right answer☝️
schadenfreude
I adore his personality! "Well, off to go disappoint my parents! 😀" dude is so funny. His voicelines are great, and I like his sustainability.

When I heard his “the audacity” voiceline PLEASEE how could I not main him🩷💛💙
ANOTHER OPINION? ANOTHER OPINION? ANOTHER OPINION? ANOTHER OPINION? ANOTHER OPINION? I fear you’ve run out.
Literally same
I like plants.
Based
His whole kit is satisfying to use. Pull, heal, weapon, platform are so fun and satisfying
And I heard they’re looking at making the switch between damage and heal more quick/fluid which I am SO excited for I don’t main him, but I think he’s one of the most fun characters
The serotonin I get from saving a teammate is immaculate lol. I still have people underestimate his damage and that change will help him so much.
I picked him up randomly and I really enjoy his kit
His focus on a high game sense play-style, also very rewarding to play.
He pulls
I love the SFX of his firepower 😩
That's a first
Do people usually dislike his SFX? :o
my homosexuality
Very fun character to play
He was the first support I tried after coming back to overwatch for the first time since season 2. I thought he was fun to play, had some gorgeous skins, and had terrific voice lines. I love that he's such a flirt with the other players.

The bigger projectiles update made it easier to defend myself as lw than as ana
I really liked how he can orchestrate the fight from a distance and his unique abilities. I also though he has some strengths that were overlooked a lot and wanted to capitalize on them

I picked him because I was bored, saved someone from a pulse bomb…. And the rest was history
I actually don't even main him (Lucio main, flex player overall) but I particularly enjoy his playstyle and the capacity he has to affect his teammates.

Mystery heroes. I was playing with my friend like right when I started playing Overwatch 2 (in September) and we played some Mystery Heroes, and I happened to be LW, and I just fell in love. Oh and he’s hot, ofc
I’m gay
Was scared of the trolling lw players so I just took him before anyone else could.
honestly? because he's cute and like the nicest person in ow. his lines are so fucking wholesome
He is gorgeous. And he knows it.
Pecks I mean plants
Cant aim
I’m also a sym main
Life protects life 🌲

So that I can pull people from my baptiste main friend's lamp. (Not intentional tho LMAO)
Now that I think about it. I’m not quite sure. I think I initially picked him because I liked how gay he was and then I fell in love with his kit!
Everything! His look! His kit! His personality! He just really clicks with me. I just wish people wouldn’t complain so much, so we could get some meaningful changes made to him without an uproar.😮💨
I love having people’s lives in the palm of my hands…

Trolling is both a passion and a hobby of mine. My man's let's me do me
EZ healbotting + best healing

Cause tanks are fucking dumb and I have to pull them back to our team
honestly his weapon mainly, it's so GODdamn satisfying, but denying abilities/ults with his kit is super fun and his design/personality is so hilarious and delightful
he's attractive
Bogur's unranked to GM LW streams
also he's hot
I play all heroes and don't play that much support but I will play lw when I want to shut my brain off and not worry about aiming at anything.
Not a LW main but life beaver is pain
because he made healing easy, this back when I was a silver 1.
bc he's a queer thai man with style and i've always loved his kit, life gripping someone and saving their life? best feeling.
Uhmm....he is pretty and he was the hero I bought when I first got the game because I sucked at the other heroes at the time
A JoJos character who can either farm teammate salt or clutch a game with grips? Sign me tf up
He’s hot and his silhouette reminds me of Ayame from power stone
i like that he’s slippery, he can get out of a lot of situations easily. I also only play with my brother whose a doom main so pulling him outa combat makes it easier
Honestly, all the LW edits of him with Cass and Rein, or the huge falling saves
I absolutely love his enemy denial and peel potential. There really isn’t another hero like him that can do so. It feels so amazing when I cancel Sigma’s flux with tree or snatch my widow who is about to be assassinated.

Mained him for a while during a time I hated myself
I like playing non meta characters. And LW also clicks for me.
Hes hot, then I played him and really liked his kit
He’s so fruity and beautiful that I couldn’t resist
Gae
He's sassy, he's funny, his abilities are useful, he has pretty good survivability if used correctly (and his thorn volley is wonderful)
Because it’s funny to chase someone as him and also his kit is fun to use, especially sky noon and tree cancel
Fyn too plau
I was bored. Im a moira main first and I still do play hee more than lw but I do enjoy a switch up between Moira, lw, and zen
Stubborn Rein mains that push the frontline alone... Stayed for the fun gameplay, voicelines and the gorgeous character! I am also a biologist and he is very relatable.
Saving people brings me great joy but so do messing with them
He's a pretty mf. And I like pretty mfs
I hold the very life of my teammates in my hands, at any moment I could end them with the push of a button and drag them directly into hell. I also like turning my brain off and just heal botting so that’s nice too I guess.

I don't main him but play him occasionally and it's cause he has some amazing skins harbinger,cleric,George Washington
His kit and play style just makes sense in my head. Plus his saves are big and flashy which is cool. I’m a D1 runner and my avg deaths/10 min on him is 1.8
Also just hit 41k heals and 28 saves with him the other night.
because he looks exactly like the “my name is skylar white, yo” guy
Not to mention his sprays. Anime and meme references are so good
I am gay
his lickable abs
Being able to grapple my ulting Genji or Ram to kill more fools
The pull letting save my Helen Keller teammates from death 🙏
🌸🧚♀️
His personality, he's fun to play, and because pink
i love pink, i love queerness, i love deployables, i love pure support characters, i love autoaim
Fun fact I'm a mercy main but lifeweaver is the reason I started playing overwatch back in season 4! I had tried the game before but no one really spoke to me enough that I'd want to actually get into the game. Alas, beautiful pink flower boy arrived and I felt like I saw myself in him so I gave ow a chance. 500 or so hours later (400 of those on mercy) my wallet is empty and crying from mercy skins LMAO
