I’m so tired of Lifeweavers forcing us to lose due to being able to control others. Please just get rid of Life Grip.

They just need to remove LW’s Grip and Mei’s Wall. Even in Master I still see people griefing in Comp with these abilities, or just accidentally being a complete detriment to the team.

Just rank up to where people can use simple abilities efficiently and you should be Gucci.

Just because you want to feed of your own volition is no reason to blame Lifeweaver for using their abilities.

Life grip and ice wall are two of the most interesting, unique and fun abilities in the game. They are full of personality and flavour and character, not to mention feeling powerful and fun to use. Ice wall in particular is what made me buy the game in the first place, I saw it in a gameplay demo and thought it looked so God damn cool and interesting. After being inspired to buy the game from seeing icewall, it then rapidly became my favourite ability and was a key reason I sank 2000+ hours into the game. To want them removed you would have to have awful, awful taste IMO. They are iconic.
I honestly can’t believe you could want them both removed, they are quintessential OW imo.
I think if you are at a point in your OW life where you have played this game so much that ice wall and lifegrip are now just annoyances to you and you are unable to appreciate even a little how much they bring to and add to the game it might be time for you to find something else to play, you sound burnt out. It’s abilities like this that make OW different, it sounds like you just want a bog standard shooter.

Your troll attempt is way too long. You played yourself.

Abilities like Life Grip and Ice wall are what make OW.
Removing them is another step on making this game worse for everyone, but I guess that the people that hate anything unique in this game wont stop whining until every single DPS is a recolor of Soljournmaker 76, every support is a free kill and every tank is Reinhardt.

I think it is you that is trolling. I actually put in my original post ‘‘are you trolling’’ and then deleted it. I can’t believe you could honestly want the two abilities gone. You would be an awful, awful game designer.

The playerbase whining and complaining about every little thing is what killed this game and ruined it. They should have just ignored the playerbse and stuck to their initial vision from day one.
agree, should be removed.
Yes, it needs to be removed.
Ive had games where they used Lifegrip to pull you INTO enemy line of fire to get killed, because they think its funny.
Lifegrip is NOT being used for the most part on its intended use.
They actually use Lifegrip to try and control the other player because they THINK they know better on where the player should be or how they should play their character.
These are the reasons it needs to be removed.

Wouldn’t matter if they were trolling. Ice Wall isn’t going anywhere.
I doubt Life Grip will any time soon.
I’d say you’ve got it backwards, Lifegrip is being used for it’s intended purpose by most players

Tbh life grip is fine.
It just shoudnt give immunity.
Give it a damage resistance and a cc immunity.
But you should still be able to deal damage to the target.
Add feature that allows Lifegrip target to cancel rooting will resolve this issue.
Lifegrip is Lifeweaver’s unique ability, better not remove it.
No. In fact, I think the cooldown should be lowered by a second. The amount of times I could have pulled a suicidal teammate out of trouble if the cooldown was just slightly shorter.

Grip is a complicated topic. I love having it when I queue with my friends because I know I can trust one of them who mains LW. He always gets me out of trouble and saved me on multiple occasions.
On the other hand, back when I used to solo queue, I always felt dread when I saw a random lock LW. It was always a 50/50 gamble as to whether they know what they’re doing or if they’re gonna unintentionally sabotage.
I personally wouldn’t mind some sort of “press button to allow grip” change.

Adding a confirm button would take away from what makes the ability special in the first place imo. At present it reminds me of a bodyguard tackling their client roughly to the ground to push them out of the way of a bullet, it’s like a ‘‘I’m doing this for your own good! Sorry!’’ kind of emergency button. It’s very dramatic and intensely interactive which is why it is so engaging and fun. Plus there is an element of '‘I press button and monkey flies to me, wheeee’ that makes it feel like a magical power when you use it on Winston for example. Adding a confirm just makes it feel clunky and less dynamic not to mention there will be millions of times LW has then just wasted his CD.
I mean I see hardly any bad pulls, I feel people may be overreacting here. Maybe 10% of the pulls I get are bad and even when they are I just go ‘‘meh’’ and get over it 2-5 seconds later, it isn’t a big deal, certainly not to the point I felt we should start making changes. And even when they are bad it is still adding an interesting event to the course of the match.
