CC's problem with CC

[Dimitrii]

Never made sense to me why they felt the need to introduce a dozen CC abilities that all essentially do the same thing, pretty much disable input from players. Then take fetter ward out of the game, and give stuns back to all melee except inexplicably for one which gets screwed. Cant give that melee anything cause its already such a game breaker in CC as is i guess was the reasoning. I agree it would have been better to have left the CC only for tanks and healers but then that would probably necessitate that the matches have a specific format like feast used to. In high levels of fights CC is everything so it would make certain party configurations much more optimal then others.

Isn't that already the case anyway? The meta is already blatantly obvious with RDM, WHM, WAR dominating with the sheer amount of crowd control they provide. And others I don't know of. The only balancing factor here is the random matchmaking, which is a horrid balancing mechanic. DPS jobs should at best have slows or stuff like that imo. Not hard lockdown effects.

God, I'm just baffled by the fact that all these jobs get this fucking stupid amount of CC baked into their DPS rotations ON TOP OF THEIR DAMAGE. But DRG is a biiiig issue with their LB that has very simple counterplay, or their one dash move that gets used offensively anyway :^) Sorry, my salt got the better of me.
This shit is why PvP needs weekly patches. Say what you want about League of legends but the weekly balance changes at least sorta keep it in check.
