Idea - Change to CC breakage.

You are aware how long DRs last right? Thats a huge factor and since 4v4 solo is the first on SEs (and maybe only) mode to receive rewards I find it only fair that ranged need a way to stop kiters/runners from breaking LoS constantly and making ranged classes with casting time worthless in a lot of fights. It would help the melee have a better chance at killing the enemy and such. Also you cant expect me to believe you really think people in solo 4v4 will coordinate? No one even talks in that mode anymore at the start with any plans so unless you toss them a discord link at the start im calling your BS on on actual coordination.

Yes, and I also hope youre aware of the burst cooldowns that most dps jobs typically have to have a potential to kill a team that has a WHM.

And about your bolded part, that's entirely my point and perspective in PvP gameplay. I never said that their current match making and method of handing out rewards is a good one, infact I think it's utterly terrible if they plan to release that as their first seasonal rewards (only 1 top player and solo queues only). But that has nothing to do with my arguments. I'm not basing it off the fact that seasonal rewards are solo queues only, but the possible competitive nature of the game (that is, matched 4v4 and maybe even matched 8v8).

No balance should ever be done at the lowest common denominator (solo queues with little to no coordination) because with your example, my MCH would be tremendously overpowered because bind is essentially a 2-3 second psuedo stun done at range, as well as giving WHM, BLM and BRD a ranged psuedo stun. It's bad enough with the cast changes because while it's made BLM and WHM "playable", it's also made good BLM and WHMs completely outrageous to fight against. And at the same time, it's overhauled the role of a MCH and BRD because they have almost no reason to drop WM/GB, not even for mobility reasons.
