Best CC
I was just wondering what the best form of cc in the game is in. I would pick a stun because they last a long time and you can't do anything well stuned.

knock up
It depends on the scenario, but I would say that, currently, the strongest CCs in the game are any Airborne CC: that means knockup, knockback and pull/fling.
All of them are impossible to reduce in duration/effectiveness. A large portion of them are attached to non-skill shot spells (not necessarily targeted, but easier to aim than regular skill shots). And they all have the same effect as a stun in addition to the movement of the target. It's like a mini-suppress at its weakest, and it can be much worse in stronger cases...
Edit: Suppression is strong, don't get me wrong. But you have to channel it unless you're Skarner, and in that case, you have to go Leroy Jenkins on the soon-to-be-dragged-back-to-your-team target. Airborne CC tends to be fire-and-forget.
Knock Up, although someone could argue suppression since it has a longer duration usually. Heres how it usually works...
Knock Ups are the best for team fights since majority are AoE. Suppressions are the best for dueling since they have a longer duration usually and have more damage attached. Stuns are good as a constant, balanced crowd control effect, usually much stronger than the other two since it can be reduced.
it's probably a toss up between knock up and suppression. knock ups are typically shorter duration than suppressions, but suppression can be removed with the qss active. on top of that, suppression essentially stuns the user and only comes on ults while knock ups can be on basic abilities and the duration is irreducible.
Knockups are generally AoE. AoE sets up wombo combos. wombo combos makes #BigLC$Play$. Therefore knockup is the best.
The strongest single target CC in the game is probably grabs. The strongest AOE CC is probably knockups or stuns depending on the durations involved.
