Is there a setting to be able to block lifeweaver’s pull ability? This is such a trollable character, pulling you out of combat (even off the edge of the map) and throwing that stupid flower underneath you that fires off instantly (forget having to voluntarily walk over it).

I’ve never seen a LW do this. Sounds like paranoia to me.

95% of the time, the pull benefits you.
I have yet to see a troll pull

Only if we could also retroactively cancel friendly Mei walls without Mei’s consent.
(That is to say, no it should be up to LW to make a mistake and to allow that mistake to happen).

Deal with it, you’re probably overextending like crazy.

I tend to agree in principle that pull was bad to add to the game, however, that ship has long since sailed and it is futile to think it’s ever gonna change.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone complain about petal in this particular way
Anyway, no, there isn’t. Thank goodness
By the way, I’ve been playing comp all day, and people seemed to love my pulls (and petals; I had a particularly cool moment where I unexpectedly saved a Zen with one). I get “thanks”'d over them on a regular basis. I even helped a Cassidy get POTG with what I call a “hybrid” pull (part save, part offensively repositioning)

But if you block it, then your Lifeweaver can’t save you if you need it. Which renders him useless to you. That seems like bad design. Are you getting trolled by them?

The only time I’ve seen it used to troll is when my partner and I troll eachother with it. Never seen it used to troll in the wild.
So you have a replay code of a match actually showing you being trolled? No one has ever been able to so I’m curious.

Ive noticed there was an Update to the “Lifegrip” controversy. It would appear that if you use your Ult, you are “ungrippable” to Lifeweaver until the Ult is finished, just how it should be!
I get the occasional LW troll that does some pretty serious griefing, and when it happens. its absolute bs when it happens. Generally speaking. its just a matter if the person is being reasonable or not.
IMO i’d rather say the grab ability removed since it is not always used appropriately.
Following this logic we should remove Mei’s wall, since you can use it to block your teammates. Those are fundamental mechanics of the character. The same way someone can use them for griefing, they can use them for a clutch play that will win you the teamfight.

Why would you actually want this?
Life Grip is a very useful ability.
Communicate with your Lifeweaver if they’re performing bad Life Grip’s, or report them if they’re intentionally trolling. There is absolutely no need to disable an entire ability.
One time i accidentally saved my entire team with a petal. We got zarya ulted and i just panic petaled, just lifting us all out of that grav.
It was the potg because i killed an enemy support just before that happened.
One could easily see the panicked looking around that i did.
Thank god you havent when I accidentally pull someone into a tracer pulse bomb once in a year it makes me want to kms (keep my self safe)
As a lifeweaver player myself I think it would be great for people to be able to toggle, whether they want to be affected by the ability or not!

100% LW is the reason I refuse to play tank. Had multiple games in a row where different Lifeweavers pulled me out of the fight off cooldown and saved the enemy. Players have complained for years about the enemy players taking away our ability to play the game and now we’ve given that ability to a teammate.

I don’t get these posts complaining about life grip being used too much. In my games Lifeweaver doesn’t use it enough! I’ll sometimes go in aggressively thinking it’s ok my Lifeweaver got me. Then when I explode I go, uh excuse me, where’s the pull???

So you use an ult and your abiut to die and weaver can pull you out but ow wait now he cant and you die because you dont like wasting ukts when you probably already do no it shouldn’t be like this plus it removes the combos like cassady and reaper who can ult then be pulled to a beter spot like in the air to kill people so again no
