Merc Treads and Their Effectiveness

Anyone else think theyre obnoxious when you're a squishy with only one form of CC and it screws a combo, or foils your escape, but then completely useless against lock down bots (Leona, Thresh, Sion etc)?

Just wanna hear thoughts about them cuz it'd be nice if they were worse against just one CC, but better if being hit by multiple. Ninja tabis were nerfed for AD assassins (less armor), I don't see why mercs cant have a slight change.

No. If, as a squishy, you getting caught in a "stun bot" combo you are supposed to be in trouble, a single item is not supposed to mess with the entire kit of a champ that much.

Status resistance is awful mechanic in every way in moba.

When stacked high enough while being a bit tanky, it's amazing (think of a bruiser with Legend Tenacity/sterak's/mercs) but with the state of damage nowadays, it's pretty useless because reducing a 1.5s stun to 1.1s doesn't stop you from dying in 0.8 seconds as a squishy.

However, most of the CC these days are either knockups or slows, and slows are better dealt with using swifties if you're that concerned about them.
