Last thing league needs is another MIASMA which cucks immobiles just as hard as mobile champions. No more slows in this game for the love of god, but yes, I wouldn't mind more grounded in general.
Sohleks6 votesYeah I agree. It slightly defeats the purpose of grounded if the accompanied slow is so strong might as well be rooted.
On the other hand a slow is currently the way they communicate to you that you are grounded. Perhaps there are other options.
iamthegoatofwar2 voteswhy not lighten the slows then? It can still be used as a catching tool, but it can still give you a little room to understand you've fucked up. For example if they made nasus wither slow lighter, they could proceed to add the grounded effect if you're in his spirit fire/ult. He either A. early on burns through tons of mana for the combo, or B. basically preps to all in and bash your face in if he was in your face when he started the combo
deadlychuck1 votesHow about the grayed out icons and the inability to use them? Is that not enough of a tell that you're grounded?
I mean, exactly what kind of communication is there for being stunned? You're abilities just don't work.
yay nibbers2 votesPeople would probably disagree with me because Darius, but I always thought Darius's W would be a prime canidate for something like this considering the ability's name is "Crippling Strike"
BobaFlautist7 votesOnly if it doesn't slow 90% for 2s anymore.

BobaFlautist1 votesMy mistake. Still, it's insane how strong a slow it is. Always felt to me like one of the most underappreciated parts of his kit - his pull wouldn't be nearly as devastating without it
OtterlyLost2 votesI agree with this. Cass's slow on her miasma is really obnoxious but I love poppy's style of dash preventative. It doesn't slow so you actually have a chance to get out of it and/or flash out of it. More like Poppy's would be pretty swank.
ForFoxSakes2 votesA silence is pretty much like a grounding effect since you cant use those movement abilities. More silences would be great as CC rather than the knockupfest they keep releasing
chipndip12 votesGrounded without slows is kinda dumb...
The Yetii Rider2 votesGrounded effects need the slow to prevent people from just walking out of the area.
If you're playing an immobile champion you should just be tanky enough to survive the effect. If you're playing an immobile mage I have no sympathy. Mage players have range, if they get hit by CC that's because they are out of position.
HonestJohnTheCon1 votesThe fix to the mobility creep.
deadlychuck3 votesThat riot will refuse and fight tooth an nail to justify not implementing
Rıots Bad Client1 votesI'd like an item that the first 2 seconds going in combat(During those 2 seconds only; Not after) you can activate it on an enemy. The debuff will last aprox 2-3 seconds. The effect will just be grounded. No damage, no slow. Just a simple tool.
A tool that can help pick off targets, Help gank and what not.
LXII1 votesAs long as it's tied to something that actually takes a brain to land. Our current 2 (that I can think of) are basically instant and large enough that a blind toddler could still consistently ground people.
EDIT: also maybe don't put it on yet another champion that already moves at light speed and didn't need any help catching you.
Romans 81 votesI thought the best implementation of grounded on Cassy would be to have her old Miasma (poison cloud) back with a slow, and only apply grounded to champs that stay within the cloud for more than 3 seconds. The idea is that the more poison you are exposed to, the more it inhibits your movement abilities.
I still dislike her new W.
AirSonance1 votesMore "Grounded" abilities sounds like a good idea, though the slow kind of makes it more useful on a wider variety of targets, in my opinion...
DunkinNoobs1 votesMore? Doesn't that require there to be at least 1 already? Because as far as I know, the only grounding effects in the game are Cass W and Singed W and they both slow you.

I detect semantic dumbassery, time to use my own smartass defenses.
Yes I want more than zero non-slowing grounded effects.
ZT Xperimentor1 votesHow about something along the lines of poppy's steadfast presence? Because most hypermobile champions already have decent movement speed to match.
