Earlier this week, Blizzard revealed Lifeweaver, Overwatch 2’s latest support hero.

However, one of his abilities in particular has actually stirred up quite a bit of controversy.

The reason why it’s contentious, though, is because it forcibly moves allieswithout their permission.

Initially, fans were worried about Life Grip’s griefing potential.

Opinions about this in the community are split, but I think it clearly isn’t.

As a tank main, this is my big concern with Life Grip.

You follow your tank’s lead for a reason in Overwatch, though.

Tanks make space for everyone else to work in with their shields or enemy-disrupting abilities.

Damage and support heroes can get screwed over by the ability, too.
