Overwatch 2's most complex hero won't be a pain to control anymore.
The change to Lifeweaver's Healing Blossom and Thorn Volley will probably save your life now that you don't have to swap between them using a keyboard key. Some players took his Petal Platform off of right click and made it swap his weapons, but you still had to fire with left click. With the new controls, tapping right click will swap and start to fire the gun with one click.
Like Hanzo's leap, double tapping space bar will activate Lifeweaver's dash. Lifelong jump spammers might struggle with not using it accidentally, but it frees up the shift key for Petal Platform, which you don't have to cancel with a separate key anymore. Other than the obvious accessibility problems with Lifeweaver's original controls, it never made any sense why he didn't follow the same logic as some of the existing heroes. Initially, Blizzard implied that it wanted players to only swap to Thorn Volley occasionally because it's the least important part of his kit, but I think it underestimated how many people want to squeeze out every bit of damage they can.
Keller said a slight nerf to how fast Lifeweaver auto-reloads his Thorn Volley while you are using Healing Blossom will come to compensate for how quickly you can swap to it. And lead hero designer Alec Dawson said on
