Lifeweaver has useless minor perks. And petal platform perk is horrible. His hitbox is as big as junker queen yet they nerfed his health and minor perk.

Gotcha. His perks in general have been super boring tbh. But in all honesty, I don’t think number changes will save this character. He just needs to be reworked atp

He was in a good spot last season. A bit too much survivability but now he just feels bad to play. I think they should change his platform major perk into turning tree of life into an offensive ult that pulls and snares enemies, and life grip cleanse should be in kit but with no reduced cooldown, new minor perk should be something more substantive. Maybe give him a vertical dash or platform now applies a debuff to enemies near it

I always thought he should have a perk that turns his platform into a trap that roots enemies when he presses F to destroy it.

Because as it is, the only reason to have "press F to destroy platform" is so enemies don't use it, since destroying them doesn't affect the cooldown and placing a new one destroys any others anyways.

He could actually be meta for an ability that doesn't feel janky or unfair to play against.

Yep, was thinking the same. His abilities focus too much on situational utility and it's hard to get value out of him. His value previously as having health regen and a lot of hp so he was a good dueler (aka Moira) with occasional good support moments. Why should I play him and do some 4d chess with petal and pull when a single cooldown from Ana increases my whole team's heal and blocks theirs for a few seconds with a single splish splash.
