Depends on how clever/tactical/focused your players are, and whether the GM comes up with rulings to limit it. As written, several of the entangling weapons are very powerful and lack the limits that kept them from being known in reality as the things that can take anyone out of action with no ways to avoid them. Lasso is perhaps the most powerful of them as written.

(Though this isn't the House Rules subforum, where we've discussed these weapons at length once or twice, my own main solution (in addition to things like already mentioned) is to add a saving throw to avoid entanglement, with advantages for facing the entangler and having weapons in hand.)
