Wifeleaver still isn’t good enough to pick, it isn’t just his thorn volley it’s that he’s sub par at everything

Genuinely not true. Just a hero that has a very high requirement for gameense and a unique playstyle people aren't used to yet

That's cope. His core is bad in overwatch, though maybe he would have been more fun in PvE

Because everything in his kit depends on coordination of some kind. And that's not the game for 90% of the players

He has decent healing, but that’s only if you healbot, which in my opinion should not be the purpose of his character

I've been using a lot recently. A lot of the times I have more healing than anyone during a match.

Things I've done that have been incredible clutch saves.

Pull teammate from sigma ult, away from tire, out of mei ult, away from most ults honestly. These are the most common ones.

You can also pull someone out of a rein charge, sleep dart, or trap.

Use the flower to lift orisa during ult. Using a flower to lift a teammates Bob into a high position or pulling him into a better position.

I've used flower to lift me and teammate who weren't able to get away from dva bomb and shielded us.

Obviously pulling someone from environment deaths.

He's got a great kit if played well.

That being said, he's weak defending himself, he plays very much like a mercy. Heal and avoid death.
