Tenacity feels very useless right now.

With each new update and champion released, their CC somehow seems to always link to a knock up, knock back, or AoE. Even if they aren't, it doesn't feel like tenacity does anything against these new champion's stuns or roots.

But I'm not just blaming new champions. Some champions have such a long CC duration or the ability to spam it about that, when chained together, the tenacity isn't going to play any part of your survival.

Is there any way we can change how tenacity works to better improve it's reliability?

It used to add together additively rather than multiply (I think thats the correct way to say it?) Basically it used to be 25+25 = 50 Now its something like 25 & 25 = 30 It'd be interesting to see if switching it back would help at all

also its sad to see Zephyr gone, it was an interesting ADC option late game when I could trade boots for it

Put 35% tenacity back on item 3111 and release a new defensive item that gives tenacity that CAN STACK with multiplicatively. There's too much CC in the game and most of it (as you mentioned, knock-ups, knock-backs, etc) already ignore tenacity completely.

Too much tenacity makes CC feel irrelevant if it isn't a knock up or similar.

With the nerfs to tenacity making it stack additively seems like a good idea Also we need more options for tenacity and slow resistances.

Knocks are always 20-30% shorter than other hard CC of the same ranks, which is the tradeoff of them being reliable.

Alternatively, they would just buff knock to be 20-30% longer and makes them subject to tenacity, which I doubt anyone would like to see.

Unless you're Irelia or Dr.Mundo it's useless.
