Well, it is just the name of the effect. You could call it "Charlie Horse" or something if you want.
Why not name the effect what it is?

Nothing says a crippling effect has to be permanent or even long-lasting.
The blindness isn't remotely permanent either.
The effect doesn't reduce the target's speed to 0, I just suggest a decrease, probably a -10, similar to cantrips.

Honestly, I'd just remove superiority die entirely and let the fighter have the effect (but not bonus damage) of a given manuever on each attack.

Or at least one per turn maybe? Each attack might be too much but YMMV.

Yeah, I think removing the damage rider and only giving the effect, once per turn would not be super OP. In the playtest, fighter used to recover the maneuver die (they all add them) at the start of their turn.
Hmmm. In theory, I agree that all fighters should use maneuvers. In practice, I think the current design works surprisingly well, because not all players want the complexity of maneuvers. That said, if I was gonna give maneuvers to all fighters, I would keep it simple. Just give all fighters the Martial Adept feat at level 1, and then increase the size of the die at level 5, 10, and 15. Or maybe 6, 12, and 18.
