Grounded is a Bad Status

Shine Fox··1 votes·594 views

As the title says. This status effect is a horrid excuse to "help" champs who dont have a type of dash in. Not only do they all slow by a huge amount, but you aren't able to use any form of movement. Not even Poppy's barrier stops everything. This can easily be changed for the better by either lowering the slow percentage on it, or allowing certain types of movements. ie: Blinks and hops.

So you want the cc that designed to stop mobility to not fulfill its intended purpose?

I'll be honest we need way more grounded effects in game. (After some durability is injected back into the game)

It may seem that way but it's really just the combination that both champions who have it (Cassiopeia, Singed) also have a slow on the ability. If you reduce the Slow on the ability, and keep the Grounded effect then it's fine. If anything I wish there were more abilities that had the Grounded effect (considering the mobility creep that still exists).

Of course the Grounded effect could be changed to not effect things like Flash but then it would beat the purpose of the effect since they would just Flash out of the area of effect and then Dash to you with their regular ability.

I mean I disagree. I like that there is only a few champions that get it, but it seems fine to me. Poppy W is really strong in it's own way. It does a tiny knock up so allows Yasuo to ult and also hers can be reactive. Not so much for grounded abilities.
