Basically CC offers close to nothing other than a small degree of mastery over enemy positioning (in certain situations), that's it. If something can be handled with damage as opposed to control effects, players are going to go for the former because that's what reigns supreme in this game, damage. Even now the bare minimal CC is done only if a mech requires or otherwise if it can be skipped, players will do that.
