League is starting to compare to WoW PvP
I quit WoW a long time ago because I wanted to PvP but the way they managed it, it was horrible.
For those of you unfamiliar, when I was playing (early MoP), there were two major problems
- Too much healing
- Too much CC
League doesn't have the first problem for sure. Healing is extremely scarce in this game.
What League does have is the second problem. The amount of CC is ridiculous.
I remember playing arena one day in my WoW days, and, although I was a decent player, I still got wrecked on occasions. This one occasion I most certainly got shrekt.
There is a certain specialization for the class "mage" in WoW, called, "Frost." It revolves around limiting opponent's mobility and dealing high amounts of burst damage.
And, well, basically, the arena ended in 5 seconds. The mage blinked into me, rooted me, stunned me, and then proceeded to crit me 5 times in a row, each dealing about a quarter of my health.
Sound familiar? Sound a lot like League of Legends? That's because it is. The title of the game is "hit cc, win game"
You may argue that point and click CC has been on the fall. No champion released recently has point and click CC. That's true. It's also true that most CC can be dodged.
But herein lies the issue. You may say, after you die, "wow! I got stunlocked! They used all of their CC on me!"
The reality is, really, you just got hit by that first CC, whether it was a root, or a stun. That first CC allowed the rest of their team to use CC on you, and you had no chance to dodge.
WoW was bad, but had this extent to a lesser degree. WoW's massive amounts of healing counteracted the massive amounts of CC, and WoW also has "diminishing returns" where multiple stacks of CC are less and less effective.
So yes, you can get thrown by Voli, into a Lux snare, into a morgana snare, into a Riven Knockup.
But really, the first part was the only one that mattered. As soon as you got thrown you were dead, because you had zero chance to dodge it.
This creates extremely not interactive gameplay.
TL;DR - LEAGUE HAS FAR TOO MUCH CC, AND CC ON AN ENEMY WHO ISN'T A TANK ALMOST ALWAYS MEANS CERTAIN DEATH. GETTING STUNLOCKED CREATES VERY NON INTERACTIVE GAMEPLAY.
