Lifeweaver updates coming in Overwatch 2 Season 12

Overwatch 2 Season 12 is set to shake up the Blizzard hero shooter in several different ways, but one that fans may not have expected is some updates to the support hero, Lifeweaver. However, will the hero be looking at a full rebuild or just some fine-tuning? Here's what we know so far and what you can expect.

In the Season 12 developer blog update, the Overwatch 2 team hinted at some updates coming to Lifeweaver. In the blog, they stated, "Lifeweaver is also getting notable updates to improve the quality of the Petal Platform and how it can be counter-played, along with changes to Healing Blossom and Rejuvenating Dash. Look for these updates in our patch notes coming later next week."

From the language in this update, it seems like Lifeweaver will be getting some potential buffs, and maybe even some small reworks heading into the new season. This should help greatly to make every ability in his kit more functional in more situations. This will likely be a part of the patch that adds all of the new seasonal elements, like Juno, the new maps, and so on.

Speaking of Season 12 updates, there is a lot for fans to stay on top of outside of these Lifeweaver changes. As mentioned, Juno will officially be in the game, Reaper is getting a new mythic skin, and there is going to be a rank reset in competitive, amongst some other changes. You can see everything in the Season 12: New Frontiers trailer below.
