Do you want the gap closer snare removed?

The existence of this poll should be an indication of my personal preference, let's see the preference of the voters.

[EDIT] Gap closer snare is a 75% snare for .75 seconds applied to your target whenever you use any gap closer. This effect has no counter and no visual cue. It is not a specific snare tied to an ability, like the snare from Lotus Fan.

    Almost everything snares now. It's ridiculous, I feel like I'm playing in slow motion. And that's without the lag added to it.

    It is the worst feeling when you are trying to go somewhere, your character freezes for a second, and then you die to 10+ crit rushes.

    It should be removed or at least reworked in a way that snare immunity prevents those snares. It's just horrible when you have stun and snare immunity and still loose controll over your movement thanks to players spamming gab closers on you.

    Absolutely. It doesn't even make sense why I'd slow down to wait for someone to catch up to me. The negative experience it brings is one of the most frustrating things in ESO to me.

    I remember them saying this. The problem is when the target is sprinting away-- the gap closer lands at the former location of the target. Same thing happens when you rolldodge an incoming gapcloser, or gap close at the same time to eachother.

    I think missing a gapcloser to a sprinting target is reasonable and would much rather this happens than the current system.

    At the very least make it so you can't be snared by gapclosers while you are IMMUNE to snares. There is hardly anything more annoying than using mistform which makes you IMMUNE to snares and get snared anyway - because "Get Wrobel'd"

    Currently all gapclosers have a hidden tooltip.

    It reads: "Snare target by 60% for 0.75 seconds. This effect cannot be purged or negated in any way."

    Sounds stupid to me. One of the worst Dev ideas ever implemented.

    Get rid of it.

    We're not talking about a snare as a bonus effect. We're talking about how all gap closers apply an unpreventable snare while during the cast-time.

    Afaik it was never asked for and was a solution to a problem that occurred infrequently enough that the solution became more of a problem. Idk why gap closers can't work like frags; homing missile. My frags manages to reach its target over any sort of terrain without snaring the target.

    @Lava_Croft I have a suspicion the 16% of yes no voters has been inflated by people thinking the poll is about supplementary snares and probably not knowing about the global gap-closer snare. Either that or some people never get zerged down.

    Gap closer is a gap closer
    snare is a snare.

    Could we have combo
    push+snare [healer]
    pull+root [tank]
    gapclose+speed [DD]

    then have
    speed buff stack = snare/root debuff unstack
    snare/root buff stack = speed debuff unstack

    Or keep gapclose, push, pull, root, speed, snare separate

    Gap closer snare should have never existed in the first place. Smart pathing is something in a lot of games, should also be in this one. If you use a Gap Closer on a target you should end up at where that target is, not where it was.

    Their cheap fix to not spending time working on a proper mechanic like this was to include the snare. More cheap fixes, less viable gameplay - the ZoS way.
