Entangling roots too powerful?

[Ownz]

once you are entangled, you cannot move for 5 seconds and cannot shoot, is this too powerful? the old war3ft froze you but did not stop you from firing back...

[stinkyfax]

so how can a victim survive? it definitely is.

they dont, in css u still can fireback since all weapons have infinite range, if u entangle a pyro or demo, they will die even if they are entangled lol

No, it is not too powerful, not at all. People just don't like getting stuck.

People would die in that same place they were entangled because it was a obvious hot zone to begin with.

Its on par with Suicide Bomber, Teleport and Lightning strike. In fact, its a great counter for suicide bombers. Especially juiced up scout bombers. Not to mention a great counter for ubers.

Other ultimates need to be raised to be on par with the above mentioned ultimates though. Like Flamestrike.

Don't touch entangled roots please for it is balanced. There are other skills that need attention first.

n addition, whenever your Entangling Roots expire the target is dazed for 3 seconds. ... They are too easily facerolled. ... most of the damage coming your way while casitng them because of powerful HoT's on yourself. ...
