Another banger 
! 
Baby calm down
Simplest solution would be if blocking someone in game makes them unable to pull you. Block is there for trolls, someone trolls you, entire team blocks them and done.
I had a LW yank me into enemy ults, troll in general yanking for no reason. Only option I had was mei and troll them back.
Had more decent players than trolls, but there were trolls.
Sorry, but I’m not letting you run in and die for no reason.

That’s fine, because I’ll go dive and stay as far away from you as possible.
However if your teammates are affected by your decisions, that definitely gives them some right to influence your own playing.
People can already do this with healing and similar things. If you are constantly taking bad decisions, the healers can simply not heal you because its not worth it.
This is a team game, not a series of isolated 1v1s. Trusting your healers is going to give you far more success than fighting against them and pretending that every single one of your decisions will be pristine and always good.
Almost every single LW player I have met in the last 24 hours has been saving people from poor, misguided and suicidal engaging.

They just modified the matchmaker so that plat tanks are not guaranteed to get plat supports. You could easily have a bronze or silver support on lifeweaver who pulls you against your will and throws the game for you. There is zero counterplay and zero options, they just get to control your character for you.
No one likes that, it needs to be reworked at the least.
‘‘Is the matchmaking messed up? Lets blame Lifeweaver for it’’.
Its 1 pull every 30 seconds. They arent hacking your game and ‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘‘taking control’’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’ of your character.
Why would there be counterplay for a beneficial effect?
I dont mind it if I am balls deep into the enemy team and dying. Because I dont assume that someone that has a much better sight of what is going on around me that myself is wrong for disengaging me.
The issue here isnt any fake deep nonsense about agency. Its simply that some people dont want to accept that their decisions are not perfect, and that 99% of LW players are not trolls.

It’s not a 30 second cool down, it’s 20 seconds, and they can lock you in spawn as well through character switching.
Any amount of taking control of my character is too much. I’m playing this game to play it, not have some random person decide how I play for me.

No, I think you need to go.
Doors over there, dearie; don’t let it hit you on the way out.

i think before mid season he wil get nerfed or reworked
I knew it was a bad idea of bringing in “Anduin” from WoW…
That joke aside, all these trolling Lifeweavers have forced me to play as Sombra so i can escape their “Deathgrip” with the translocator…
Its a pvp game. Your agency is not divine. You are not the protagonist.
If you get pulled, its because you were most likely poorly positioned and about to die.
99% of LW players arent going to pull you if you are correctly positioned. The trolls will get bored in a week or so.
He is going to get buffed. His non-ult healing is pathetically weak right now.

Too dramatic of a post, but we should all agree that Life Grip definitely has some huge troll potential.
I can see a thrower intentionally standing near a ledge, and once they get dumped into the pit, they LG a teammate with them.
I’m not being punished for bad decisions which is the problem. I’m being punished for some low IQ supports mistakes.
I can take being punished for my own mistakes just fine.
People can troll, lifegrip or not.
They didnt delete Mei’s wall 7 years ago, they arent going to delete or rework life grip now.

Your decisions in a first person game with no minimap are not perfect nor the best informed of all.
Most LW players I have seen have been saving people, specially tanks, left and right every game from bad situations they themselves got in.
I dont see it any different from rez or nano or any other life saving tool in the game.
Those abilities enable, not disable.
You don’t see how something that drags players into pits or from high ground is different than a damage boosting ability?
Lmao come on man, at least put some effort into your trolling
Lifegrip can enable you to keep playing instead of being sent to the spawn room for a bad decision or poor positioning.
Rez can make you just die again a second later, just extending the time you are disabled from playing.

Hell, even when this does inevitably happens, that does not mean they are trolling necessarily. People are allowed to make mistakes or have bad judgement.
