So basically You want to stay at >10km and its weaker web and only when he is overheating. After few cycles he will have to turn off overheating and web power falls to little over 40% Incorrect, heat doesn't add strength it adds range which will kind of do what you describe, just not with as much shift in power as you seem to think, however at 10km its strength should be just under 50% but with a two second cycle time and the ability to get stronger as you get closer. So say you get an overheated scram on a guy and throw your deep in fall off grappler on him you can now begin to approach him and as you get closer he'll get webbed harder and harder. In the mean time its got a 2 second cycle time so if you're good at mod management you can probably cycle between targets slowing frigates in scram range for your drones to get on and cycling back onto the primary without him really ever noticing he was unwebbed.
So what exactly happens when the guy your doing this to has an overheated scram and fed navy (or even overheated T2) web on you?
Unless the plan is to nerf all current webs, these are a nice (in some limited situations) gimick
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -
Just don't bother Hating - I don't care
It really is getting harder and harder to justify $23 a month for each sub.

1 TP + Grappler will allow me to oneshot frigate with rage torp. quite improvement in my opinion. Tried with paladin. If you're in bastion you can't hit an afterburning frigate that's inside the optimal of the grappler, even with an additional web. edit Tried with web + grappler + strong drop + dual heavy pulse Well.. transversal and sig resolution of guns still exist, so yea. A battleship sitting still wont be able to track a frig orbiting, especially an AB frig. Turret BS have the MJD options to deal with that. Killing frigs as they beeline for you in a strait line is not that hard on the tracking requirement.
Turret BS can MJD while scrammed by a frig close orbiting? Killing frigates as they beeline for you, tracking is not an issue, until they get you pointed and are under your guns. Grappler Web on BS = Blaster fit or go home, with the current meta of kitey everything, lots of BS using Grappler web gonna die.
This new gimmick web is not going to help a great deal for much of anything, in a BS your still better off using a T2 web, in a capital (dread especially) your far better off having a Hugin or Rapier with you and use that mid slot for something that will actually help you apply damage "before" any attacker gets under your guns. A carrier just use smart bombs, they will be far more effective on anything that is orbiting you at useful Grappler range
Only way to really make this thing viable would be to give the ships that can fit it a 200% bonus to optimal range, that way when you overheat it, you have an optimal range that may actually be useful, for something other than a blaster BS (which is simply BS).

Take almost any frigate/inty and 3km of buffer is nothing. Frig will just coast through and scram. At least with the grappler i can start slowing them down at 20km and then OH it around 15km and slow them about the same as a standard web. This doesnt even touch on neuts. Combining neuts and grappler is a good way to pop frigs coming in to scram.
And because ceptors always travel alone...........
