Riot: will you be looking at CC itemization in the vanguard update?

Anti-CC itemization imo is a tricky subject since if it's too good then it makes CC pointless but if it's not good enough then CC feels overbearing (remember the Rylai's meta?). So far we only have one get out of jail item with QSS and two items that can potentially block CC spells (banshee and edge). But something like QSS isn't going to stop a knock up.

Now personally I think that's fine. Adding something that could reduce knock up duration only adds another level of complexity and frustration to balancing champion kits. Like %health true damage, knock ups aren't really meant to be countered, at least not easily. Basically you shouldn't have an "OH SHIT!" Button to reactively press when hit with a knock up. You should plan to avoid getting knock up.

Forgot Mikael's. But then again, everyone forgets about it.

Turns out being comlletely overshadowed by Locket and Redemption has that effect on your effect (the effect being the literal only reason to buy it).

Wow I don't even know what it does. Holy shit I don't see it built at all.

Over the past couple years; mercury treads were nerfed, the tenacity mastery nerfed, but then riot added a bunch of active items to negate cc. [zombie-brand-facepalm]
