Stun Gun removal was good, but Heavy's Grapple needs the same treatment
Look, I appreciate the devs removing the stun gun from Light class. That combo was straight up broken and made the game frustrating to play against. But let's talk about the elephant in the room - Heavy's grapple hook is basically the same problem in a different wrapper.
Getting grappled is basically a death sentence. You can't move, can't fight back, and then you either:
- Get hammered into coins
- Get roasted by their flamethrower
Grapple, once you're caught, that's it. Whats so different from Stun Gun?
Don't get me wrong, grapple itself is a cool mechanic and adds mobility to Heavy. But the stun lock combined with their high damage weapons is just as broken as what Light could do with stun gun.
Anyone else feel this needs to be looked at in the next balance patch?
To be clear, I'm not saying remove grapple entirely - just the stun lock aspect of it. Perhaps allow us to Elbow the shnitz of that grapple mid grape mid air and it'll free us and that can only be achieve but quick thinking player and/good player.
Food for thought, a buffet rather.

Still Flying Somewhere After That Last Grapple
