Why pro players don’t use “grim” walls?

As one can clearly see these walls need an extremely high level of practice to pull off, going wrong is really easy. These walls can be used to gain a positional advantage that even Raze, Jett and Omen can’t achieve but the last thing one would want (after failing a grim wall) is getting asked whether he/she/they are trolling.

A Reddit user posted, “Why don’t pro players use grim walls?” It sparked a discussion, a user in the comment section mentioned that it’s a waste if the opponents go to the opposite site. Another user commented that grim walls were “super niche” and would “rarely get value in pro play.”

Since pros aim to get the most value out of each util in every round. Grim walls are great to get individual picks, get a man advantage and catch the opponent off guard but it is of no “strategic value” to the team as mentioned by one Reddit user. The walls are deemed selfish by some. Another user mentioned that the potential man advantage and “the pressure of the gimmick happening again” could play well with a team’s strategy.
