We need at least 5 more champions with grounded CC

Either replace some forms of CC on champions, or just add it in somewhere for kits.

It's literally the only mechanic in the game which exclusively works against mobility.

Taliyah rocks, Cass W, Camile R, Warwick bite

There is no real reason to give it to warwick, he just got a massive mobility buff himself.

Camille R already does it in a sense, but it's still equally powerful against immobile champions.

While Taliyah's W is nice, but it really doesn't work to actually stop the power of them having mobility, more often it's just a combo tool for her W

Its not the only mechanic in the game thats what I am trying to say

Roots in general are good vs mobility

I think you're miss understanding.

Mobility brings with it inherent power to the champion. So we need tools which uniquely counter mobility without affecting immobile champions.

Even in the case of a root, it's more effective and powerful against a champion without mobility than it is against one with mobility. If you root a mobile champion, they will dash out the moment it's over gaining significant safety compared to an immobile champions whom has no personal method of putting ground between themselves and the enemy. Some might have CC, but often that's being attached to skill shots too let alone if it's single target or conditional.

The point is, a champion with mobility has inherently lower risk against every form of CC than an immobile champion, bar grounded. Before considering that CC attached to skill shots become harder to land to begin with. If a champion with targeted skills are "low skill offensively" then a champion with high mobility is "low skill defensively".

The only other CC which remotely has a more significant affect on mobile champions is probably extended silence effects. However that means Chogath Malzahar Fiddlesticks Soraka Garen out of 134 champions.

I know exactly what you mean.

I dont want more copy pasted abilities

Changing thresh R into a knockback would help (For example). If you are trying to get out you get pushed back into center / if you are trying to get in you get pushed back

But that would only hurt non blinks

Cage/root however you call it was Original anti mobility thing. However that also stops juggernauts from walking which is why I assume riot would prefer "grounding"

Except more stuff like that from riot honestly

Lately we have been getting lots of champions which help allies move (Kled R) or discourage enemies movement
