POLL - Too much CC in League with New champs?

Syku·11/24/2019, 3:19:51 AM·5 votes·2,118 views

With the introduction of a plethora of new champions, League has become inflated with CC. It's difficult to join a game and not be stunned for enormous amount of times and it seems as if regardless of what im playing that i need to purchase merc treads and pick up the tenacity rune to have the ability to play the game. Senna has a root, which was integrated in a highly overloaded kit that REALLY did not need cc, and if so it should have been a slow. let me add its an AOE root. Neeko's stun is one of the highest offenders, an AOE low cd 2-3S stun, not including the CC stacking thats obtainable with her ultimate. We have the oldschool OG annoyers like MORG and LUX, they used to be okay to deal with because of how niche it was to have such a strong bind/root. but now it is commonplace with new champs and in some games their cc overlaps for enormous stun durations that make the game virtually unplayable. of course we have Cat with her AOE stun aswell, and Qiyana with roots, and an incredible AOE high burst stun ultimate. I simply wish there were more dynamic options to choose from. we have 2 tenacity items in the entire game, merc treads and a rune. Why not integrate tenacity into some AP or AD items at the expense that they have less stats at their cost and have a purchase limit? (example you cannot buy every tenacity item to get 100% tenacity). I think it would allow build paths when your against teams like TF MALPHITE MORG LEONA VARUS, where theres virtually no outplaying them if they play properly. it's not the end of the world but im sure there has to be other players who walk into to fight and never land a single ability or attack because neeko roots you and than morg stuns you and than you receive an AFK warning for standing for too long. it's extremely unfun and i wish it was toned down just a little bit so that theres at least some windows to not be absolutely chain cc'd for 5 seconds until you die.

I agree, this cc meta is absolutely getting out of hand. Every game I have to go merc boots or I get cc locked long enough to get a leaver buster. I find it absolutely ridiculous how it's basically impossible to go any of the other boots because they dramatically get out scaled by the sheer utility and mr merc boots offer opposed to the other boots. Heck sorc boots don't even completely negate the mr given by merc boots which doesn't even make sense because merc boots offer far more, insane utility and the resistances to deal with most matchups.

the mobility meta is more out of hand. we need more cc to combat it.

Qiyanas ult is a bit silly having knockback stun and damage. Let's start there

When has there not been a high amount of CC in the game.

What roles you looking at?

Cuz uh,,, I am not seeing anything new being all that out of line.

Sorry, but Senna's root is absolutely needed. I'm sorry you play champions that Senna counters, but the game has ALWAYS had counters.

I too, have felt how Senna feels when you play something like Ahri into her, and she 3-4 shots you as soon as you miss a charm in a lane.

But, I also know about 60+ champions first hand who literally do the same to Senna. Even when you hit W, Senna still dies to a ton of them.

All destroy the living crap out of Senna when played correctly.

Buy Tenacity or get it in Runes. If you don't buy those, don't get hit by the CC. Pretty much every CC move now a days can be dodged, and the bigger duration ones are often the easiest to dodge. And hey, if you are just a person that hates CC, there are tons of champions that can easily play around CC.

All champions with innate crowd control resistance, a get out of jail free ability, or an instant reaction ability to make them absorb a crowd control or two. Theres a few other champions too that care much less about crowd control, but I dont wanna explain individually why for each. Heck, from my experience, League of Legends is actually pretty tame when it comes to crowd control compared to most MOBAs.
