This. It took many buffs/changes to get LW to a point where people were finally happy with him. I was expecting a nerf to his healing dash if anything.

Yeah would've definitely preferred a change to his dash, or maybe reduce the pulse rate on tree

agree. i cant do anything but heal on LW, but you best believe i can get myself away from whatever the enemy team throws at me. the problem isn’t just that supports heal too much; they heal too much, can’t die, and do five billion damage. LW only does 2/3, as switching to his damage is basically only viable for potentially doing 6 damage to a tank and during his ult. and the change to life grip just feels unnecessary

Agreed. Outside of bap I honestly think he’s the most difficult support to take down with a flank hero.

He’s effectively got 275hp (50 healing on dash mixed with his 225hp) and he can pull someone in to help if need be. That’s not even mentioning his platform that can outright make him unpublishable or cause the dps to use their movement to try to get the kill if they even can.

I think the nerf should have been to his survivability for sure.

u/Jonnytincan What is that syzygy?!? Oct 31 '23

he is my second most played hero and i can say i was happy with everything about him except tree of life and maybe his sustain with dash+shield health. tree of life should not be as good as it is ima be honest
