    Maybe lag is a feature of the skill? "Roots enemy and raises their network latency by 1000%"

    Why you say Feature?

    I think it's a bug or lag. Root just keeps you in place. Not a stun or disorientation.

    They need to fix this - no reason for us not to be able to bar swap while rooted.

    If one is truly immobilized, should they have the ability to move their hands to switch weapons?

    That brings up the question of "does rooted equal fully immobilized"?

    If the answer is yes, then it should be so that one cannot bar swap while being rooted and this is a feature.

    If the answer is no, then one should be able to bar swap while rooted and this is a bug.

    Wait... if immobilized means stunned, then what's the definition of stunned? Dead?

    Immobilized means your legs dont work, stunned means your brain took a hit and needs a second to reboot.

    Exactly. I resolutely believe we should be able to bar-swap while rooted. Paralyzed is the same thing as stunned in my book.
