After more than 1,000 games, an Overwatch 2 Twitch Streamer becomes Grandmaster on Lifeweaver

The fantastic, seductive support hero Lifeweaver was a gift to players in the fourth season of Overwatch 2. Unfortunately, he hasn't really garnered much attention as a great support hero, which is sad for those who wished to go about with this wonderfully pink and pansexual healer. In fact, society has come to the regrettable conclusion that he stinks, which is just the reverse. Enter the world of the top 500 Overwatch 2 streamers, who virtually always fail in their attempts to reach Grandmaster with this hero. Till now, that is.

Sadly, Lifeweaver failed. Overwatch 2 supports succeed not just by rescuing friends but also by being able to make some aggressive moves, despite the fact that they can generate some ridiculous healing numbers and protect comrades from harm with their special Life Grip ability. Lifeweaver's lack of offensive pressure or confirmation of kills, in contrast to the majority of the support lineup, hampers his viability. (Even Mercy is capable of doing this by stealing a powerful DPS teammate, turning them into a tough-to-kill war machine.)

Lifeweaver just received some upgrades to his healing and unique weapon, providing him a little boost. The Overwatch 2 streamer Bogur's effort to use solely Lifeweaver to go from unranked to Grandmaster may have finally been successful as a result of these upgrades. In addition, the climb with the hero is the "world's first solo unranked-to-GM" ascent after other Top 500 streamers, such as Eskay, Fitzy, and Dafran, halted their Lifeweaver-only ascent.

You can understand Bogur's emotional response when he, practically moved to tears, was eventually able to complete this challenge. I believe that having to play over 1,000 games on Lifeweaver for an unbelievable amount of hours would ruin my mental health. When Lifeweaver's earlier challenge of reaching Grandmaster with "no HUD, no sound, no outlines, 50% rendering, and lowest resolution" nearly felt easier, you had to question how difficult Lifeweaver is as a hero. However, Lifeweaver now at least has one GM player to his credit.
