Summary
AnOverwatch 2clip showing Lifeweaver turning the tides in a Roadhog mirror match on Ilios shows how deadly the two heroes can be together. With a well-timed Life Grip, Lifeweaver transformed a revenge kill into a masterfully executedOverwatch 2power play.
As one of the first characters in the original game, Roadhog has been one of the mostinfamous heroes inOverwatchhistoryin no small part due to his Chain Hook, which can yank enemies towards the tank, or even off the edge of the map. On the contrary, Lifeweaver is a relatively new healer who can do the opposite with his Life Grip: pull his allies to safety from across the map.
A recentOverwatch 2clip showed just how amazing these two abilities are when used together.Overwatch 2player Suumash, who provided the gameplay footage on Reddit, was playing Roadhog on Ilios against another Roadhog. Their opponent nailed a hook, dragging Suumash into the well on the Ilios objective. Suumash countered with a hook of their own, dragging the enemy Roadhog down with them. Just then, Suumash’sLifeweaver Life Gripped theOverwatch 2hero to safety, turning what would have been mutually-assured destruction into an amazing combo kill.
Lifeweaver and Roadhog Combo On OW2’s Ilios Map
Lifeweaver and Roadhog have a lot of natural synergy. Whilethe infamous well onOverwatch 2’s Ilios mapis an easy location for the heroes to take advantage of, this powerful play can be done on just about any map edge with enough skill. However, doing so requires perfect timing and coordination, so fans who hope to repeat Suumash’s combo will be better off trying it with a friend if they want to do it intentionally.
That said, Lifeweaver can just as easily be the bane of Roadhog. Using Life Grip,Lifeweaver can easily rescue a hookedOverwatch 2herofrom a compromising position, or from certain doom via map hazards. If a Roadhog player encounters problems while facing off against Lifeweaver, it may be wise to swap to a different hero – or to land a hook against the healer himself.
Either way, fans got a kick out of the amazingOverwatch 2play. Many players pointed out that both Lifeweaver andRoadhog are involved in many hilariousOverwatch 2clipsbecause of Life Grip and Chain Hook respectively, and this video was no exception. Considering how game-changing these abilities are, fans shouldn’t be surprised when more clutch clips of these two heroes show up, both side-by-side and on opposite teams.
