Lifeweaver After Balancing
First, to conclude, in the latest update of Lifeweaver,Not as effective as expectedIt said.
As a result of comprehensive improvements such as improving playability by changing keybindings, the “Healing Blossom” recovery method, the “Thorn Volley” attack method, and the ultimate “Tree of Life”, which have a significant impact on the game, the Lifeweaver himself has an increased win rate throughout the match. However, while it improved, it wasn’t much of a move at around 45% at the lowest skill level, and a drop in win rate was seen at an early stage in the high skill range.
As for the reason for this, in this modification, at the same time as changing the numerical value that the effect is easier to predict,The operability changes whose impact is difficult to predictbeen conducted, and it was pointed out that the amount of change in overall performance could not be well estimated.

As a result of the increased number of “Healing Blossom” shots and the increased healing amount of the “Tree of Life”, LifeweaverHighest healing output in the gameHe became one of the heroes to possess, and actually scored the highest value at some skill levels.
