Lead Hero Designer Alec Dawson has announced changes for Lifeweaver coming April 25th, buffing his Healing, Damage, Ultimate, and removing his Parting Gift passive.
These changes were designed to improve Lifeweaver's healing capabilities and smooth out some of his weaknesses. Parting Gift is the flower Lifeweaver leaves behind on death, healing allies for a large amount upon stepping on it, or a small amount if an enemy picks it up. More insight on these changes will be coming in Aaron Keller's next blog update, and an upcoming Q+A stream.
These changes are in addition to the control scheme updates Lifeweaver is also receiving.

Removing parting gift seems silly. It was a unique mechanic.

jeah, but in most cases it helped enemy more than your team... and since it should incentivize LW to try not to die he didn't have much options to do something against an enemy diver. This little Dash... noone cares... not even for this tiny healing it provides... his plattform... nothing that would stop a Genji, Phara, Reaper, Sombra or more... a moira can fade away... a Ana can sleep them... Even Zen can demolish an enemy diver cause of his damage... LW could do nearly nothing and also gift's the diver 75 Health after he killed him, so he could kill the other healer in backline easier without maybe retreat first to heal.

Yeah, true... although I've had pretty good success escaping nearly anyone with that platform and dash. In my experience most people didn't even know (friendly or enemy) to go near the damn parting gift anyhow. :D
