Lifeweaver
Now revives people, respawning them below the tree.
The tree can't distinguish between allies and enemies.

Dev Comment: Lúcio wasn’t getting the recognition he deserves, serving only as a booster to the team, so we decided to give him a more aggressive position to motivate the team into pushing.

Why did you make this mode with items and cash rather than hero gimmicks, like the previous Funnywatch 2?
As more gimmicks were added to each hero, it become very overwhelming to keep track of all the changes. Additionally, it was unintuitive and annoying to read each change instead of playing the game.
Funnywatch 3 doesn't provide enough reading to understand exactly what the item does, but it does give you a rough idea of what to do, which I hope is what will balance the game between reading and actually enjoying the game.
Even though I could fit several more gimmicks without items, in too many hero gimmick modes are there ‘gimmicks’ that just exist for the sake of existing like “extra damage to enemies under half health” or “reduces aim and movement speed on damage”. Not only are these not interesting, funny, nor have a good impact on the game, they also take up elements and make the game overwhelming for everyone. By forcing gimmicks into items I could evaluate whether they truly were funny or just filler content.
Items let the hero gimmicks come in a steady trickle as the game progresses and gives you time to understand each one without getting lost. It would be too overwhelming to grant every item instantly.
Additionally, hero gimmicks without items had the unintended effect of sometimes making heroes one-dimensional - e.g. their sole purpose is to farm ult. This was prominent in the previous Funnywatch, for example the changes to Wrecking Ball made him solely exist within ball mode without ever having the ability to fire his guns.
Why aren't there any skins?
Limitation of the overwatch workshop.
Enabling skins forces you to lose some items:
To enable skins, you have to enable "Workshop Settings"→"Remove Items Using Dummy Bots" then enable "Modes"→"All"→"Skins" and finally untoggle "Workshop"→"Edit Extensions"→"Spawn More Dummy Bots". For the last step, "Edit Extensions" is at the top-right and looks like a puzzle piece with a pencil beside it - scroll to the bottom of the menu to find "Spawn More Dummy Bots".
Why would you add team-ups? Just make the items accessible by default.
Due to limitations of the Workshop itself, the items can't work without the team-up partner on the team.
Full Explanation: The workshop limits itself to 11 maximum model combinations (each model is a hero skin). If the model exists (e.g. a player selects mercy), then the model is loaded and you can spawn several dummy bots using the same model.
How to enable them anyway: "Workshop Settings"→"a hero will provide team-up items to"→"Team-Up Items Always Enabled". Team-up items will not work if the model limit is reached.
What settings can I change?
You can change how fast you gain cash, selling and rerolling costs, starting cash, and max items you can hold.
How do I modify bots buying items?
In the workshop settings you can change if bots can buy items or not, as well as the cost multiplier for them to buy an item.
Why do some heroes have no/few items?
Feel free to suggest your own ideas in the comments!
One big advantage of Funnywatch 3 compared to other hero gimmick modes is that even heroes without hero-specific gimmicks can become funny as there are over 35 general items that any hero can have fun with!
Why should I have to grind for cash to experience the gamemode?
Cash from damage/healing is much lower than passive cash gain, so a cash imbalance can't happen.
If you don't want to wait, feel free to turn up starting cash in the Workshop Settings.
Why are some of my heroes randomly disappearing?
Workshop limitation. It just does that.
the funniness has gotten to me brother
