The joys of playing DNC in any competitive ranked game

[Valence]

A stun is annoying to deal with, but you can purify if you're quick enough, and refresh the Charmed debuff. I still think the window is a little short, especially for people with bad latency, but the fact is that you're not totally helpless, and it makes you consider carefully when going in for it, and make sure you have purify available, else it's on you, it was a gamble and you lost kind of deal.

You don't Honing Dance with LB unless you know what you're doing (like having managed to lock 4+ of them into Charmed so they can't hurt you anymore).

Yes, I do think that while I understand why they made the Charmed debuff take 2.8s or something to activate (to make it easier for other LBs to sync with it when it gets popped), it's too long.

Also who said that DNC is a glass cannon with no damage? It's quite the opposite in fact. It secures kills, deals good AoE pressure, excels at chasing people down or harassing/ratting, and is one of the most annoying jobs to take down. But that's beyond the point of the OP. The point of the OP was that I don't find it healthy at all that a certain ability, which is already infamous for how stupid and broken it is in general, is also responsible for hard countering multiple jobs in the roster like DNC, GNB and even WAR to a lesser extent. But it really takes the crown with DNC comparatively. Even more problematic that WhM is easy to play, very accessible, very little effort for the power it brings to any team, and as a result we see it in almost every game.

You know what actually would already help? Make Purify be nullified by the Purified 5s buff. At least that way I can cleanse a cc with DNC, so that I get the buff and then I can try to LB without the looming/dooming threat of the enemy WhM. I don't even get why this stupid ability is getting through that buff to begin with, as if it wasn't already broken enough on its own.
