I'll get my point of view strait at the start, keep the grabs but nerf it's damage.
I personnaly spam grabs (want to flame me? go ahead, i'll ignore you). Yes, but consider this, in a game where the only way to block a grab is with an other grab, you have to become good at grabbing to counter em. Combos are easy to stop and put a grab in it, so in a single match you can see what.... 20.... 30 grabs? honnestly that's a lot. Also, an actual grab can do 40-120 (rough approximation) damage (depending on your stats and your enemy's stats), so I do belive it's too much.
But on the other hand, without grabs, most melee players won't be able to catch up to a good lire/arme. There is also good runners in the meleers, yes, but one way to stop them is to grab them. Dirty tactic, yes, but it works. Without grabs, a match could last even longer than a single game of Risk (big exageration, yes, but you see my point). :P
Remember, this is my opinion, I do not expect everyone to agree with me.
