Blizzards announcement onTwittercame shortly after a prematurely released PCGamesN article, which has since been deleted.
TheOverwatchcommunitys twitch reflexes mean we still have all of Lifeweavers details, though.
Hes a Thai healer who uses Symmetras light-bending tech, but unlike Sym, hes more focused on nature.
Thats evident by his flowery design and petal-themed abilities, just in time for Spring.
Similar to Symmetra (or Green Lantern), Lifeweaver can use his tech to create physical objects.
Some of Lifeweavers other tools are similarly ambivalent about team boundaries, and can affect allies and enemies alike.
His passive ability, for example, drops a healing pack after he dies.
An uncoordinated team will likely have a nightmare with Lifeweaver.
But despite that, it sounds like were finally getting a support character thats capable of shifting the game.
Lifeweavers kit is evasive, self-sustainable, and supports allies beyond just healing.
Blizzard had said their next two heroes would be cute like Mercy.
Understandably, the OW community is confused since Lifeweaver isnt cute - heshot.
