PSA: CC does not effect every champ in the same way

As someone who doesn't main Yi or Kat I see a lot of people whinge and moan they have no counter play

To which the rational reply is 'Hard CC them'

Only for this to be ignored to the shrill cries of 'OMG NOOO, NOT FAIR CC COUNTERS EVERY CHAMP NO COUNTERPLAY'

CC does not effect every champ to the same degree and by effect, I mean the level to which CC harms that champion.

If someone blows all their CC on Mundo, his huge sustain and tankiness means that he will almost certainly survive allowing his carries to ace the other team. CC doesn't counter Mundo, the fact he forced the enemy to blow their CC on him, is a sign he knows what he's doing. CC does counter Yi, Yi does a tonne of damage, but if you stun him, you can kill him in 1 second thus forcing a 4v5 in your favour at only the expense of your cooldowns, which I assure you, take less time to recover than it takes for Yi to respawn and return to lane.

I hope you have all learned something and maybe try a little less salt next time.

I don't know why this is downvoted...

Silence a Cassiopeia and tell me how much damage she does. 0-20 for the duration depending on whether or not she poisoned you before you silenced her.

Now do the same thing to Teemo. Same amount he was doing before/after the silence right? He's just taking more 'cause he can't blind the guy attacking him or move quick away from skillshots.

Mundo and Irelia both have built-in tenacity, reducing the duration of non-displacement Hard CC. Yi, when he's in Highlander, is Slow/AAslow Immune. Fizz has a Built in Zhonya's on a 5second cooldown at 18 that also does a good chunk of magic damage.

This is a really meh psa. It's more like the advice section of the newspaper. It's also veeeery misleading. Because CC does affect everyone the same way: it cc's them. Unless they're Fiora.

That's like saying cc affects galio differently because it interrupts his ultimate. It doesn't affect him differently, it just sucks a little more. If I cc a Yi and nobody follows up on it, does it still affect him differently than Nautilus?
