What if Life grip, instead of pulling an ally immediately gave me our ally a 3-4 second long tether effect that lets said tethered ally to use interact key to pull themselves to LW as long as LoS isnt broken.
It benefits both sides imo:
Enemies can block LOS with wall or shield or by attacking the LW or prevent the pull with stuns and sleeps
LW and his allies can more consistently coordinate plays
The pull is consensual and has depth as well as more mind games to it.
No.
Here is a logical fix that benefit the entire gaming community in the entire world :
Because this would make the ability absolutely worthless.
No hero should have an ability that is reliant on someone else to activate it to use. Why do you think noone uses Symâs Teleporter?
Life Grip is perfectly fine. Stop trying to fix what isnât broken.
Yeah, I get the feeling this would be very abusable for dive DPS. Considering Tracer is dominating across the board, probably not wise to give her a discount recall.
The duality of man on forums
No getting yoinked without warning isnât fun at all especially when youâre about to finish an enemy and LW saves them by pulling you away.
This, exactly this. So many times I go for hook on a low target or I hook one and immediately get pulled or the target is 1 shot away from dying and whoop, pulled for no apparent reason.
Itâs as if LWs think that if you are not full health you are at risk of dying even with an 800HP health pool and your own health button.
I just stand there if he pulls me and die just to make the point to leave me alone. But they never do.
Most of the time, person doesn´t have 3 - 4 seconds, if they don´t wanna die.
Also why fix something, that doesn´t need fix?
Iâd be down.
I am not required to accept bad design choices.
Yeah no, that ainât âcountersâ.
But you just said that every player had to accept the design choices.
Itâd be great in cooperative play, itâd actually be a good teamplay ability.
Oh look, life grip would actually get used to enable more aggressive plays.
Mhmmmmmmmmmmmm
Also this. SO much this.
Tends to come with the backseating territory.
Cool make it auto-pull upon death for the first half of it, so that if they were actually going to die it would auto-save.
Prevents frustration since people would know for a fact that they only were pulled because they would have died.
Because itâs miserable not having agency over your own character.
Just like ressurect, nanoboost, kitsune, soud barrier (or Lucioâs speedboost) etc⌠can also mess up what you were doing.
At some point, players from this community are gonna have to accept that itâs a team-based game and that it has a specific design. Some team abilities can go in your way, just like the enemies, thatâs all part of the game. Weirdly enough, people seem to only pick on supports, when many other heroes can also get in your way and make you miss a kill or a clutch move.
Canât deal with it ? Play a solo game (or name me one online team-based multiplayer game where allies canât impact you when timing something badly).
TLDR : stop with the lame excuses just for you to nerf heroes you donât like / donât play.
Devs are not required to care you donât accept the game design of a game released in 2016.
Stop being entitled, youâre no 8 years old (I hope).
Yes, because they know what kind of game it is. Did they buy OW1 without checking it out first ? Did they install F2P Overwatch for free and play it daily without liking it⌠?
What kind of logic would that be⌠? I donât like Fifa-like games. It would never cross my mind to play it and spam forums to change that gameâs design just for me to be able to⌠like it ? If thatâs ever possible.
LW complaints are just childish, just like 80% if not more complaints on the forums (and social media) are.
Oh and please, answer this, Iâm curious :
Those types of abilites are fundamentally different then how Pull works.
You can sorta see with with thresh in Lol, or Medivh from Hots. Or even sym TP in OW.
Abilites that can move people if the target interacts with it work differently and fill different purposes then Forced pulls Like LW, or Anduin from Hots.
I donât know what youâre trying to project on me there, Iâm just saying I donât like it when Iâm about to take down an enemy player only to be pulled away for no reason by a member of my own team. Those other buff skills you mention actually saved my butt tons of time.
For LWâs Spider-man saves the player should have a button prompt to break free if they donât want it, LWâs grab is too much ammo for trolls to abuse.
Not the Mei icon complaining about abilities that can screw your own team 
Do yall really think this idea has never been brought up here everâŚ
Oh spare me the tribal talk.
Tribal? I am literally just pointing out that its a very pot and kettle scenario.
Surely you know how much people whined about Meiâs wall screwing their kills, right.
Youâre not expected to like everything about a game. Is it that hard to accept it ? Do you think all Overwatch players enjoy every aspect of the game ? They donât and itâs ok.
The problem with your whole post / complaint is that youâre indirectly trying to get the hero tweaked without caring that many players like him and his kit. All you think about is your personal feeling and that type of egocentric mindset doesnât agree with a multiplayer game.
Are you having that same type of behavior on every other multiplayer game whenever something slightly annoys you ?
And other people will say otherwise. Imagine those stop existing because many people complain about them and you wonât ever have âyour buttâ saved ever again ? See my point.
As long as some players from this community keep picking on specific heroes, the game will only get worse. It has become a ânerf this hero I donât playâ war and sooner or later it will also affect the heroes you play the most and youâll be, posting here, complaining about those changes.
Iâm not projecting anything, just trying to explain you that you should see the big picture, especially in a multiplayer game, instead of just focusing on your personal interest. It can backfire.
I would prefer if they just reworked his whole kit into something more fun and engaging for both the player playing him and the players playing against him.
He can be so much more than what he currently is. sigh 
His kit is already fun and engaging to play. Youâre not obligated to gel with every kit in the game. Thereâs literally just some clunk to iron out.
