Hard CC requirement

Lugg·Jun 1, 2015·3 votes·221 views

I want to bring up and discuss something that came to mind today.

We all know about mobility creep. I see the game is starting to have CC creep as well. There are several champions where the counter for them is Hard CC. For example, Kat, Yi, Ahri, LB, etc. You need to lock these champions down in order to kill them. It seems that more and more champions are falling into this category. What happens when you go up against a team filled with champions like this? There is only so much CC you can put out.

What do you guys think? Is the game headed in that direction and should we be concerned about it?

its not mobility nor cc creep

its more like a power creep aimed at the internal power of the kit mixed with its numbers champions who have diwerse kits combined out of the strongest elements like mobility and cc are prefered ower the others just because they are stronger in game and compete more towards the wictory in organised play

guy like darius can win but he isnt as usefull as a charging sejuanig who just cc locked their adc morde can win his game but he isnt as usefull as le blanc who can reach to enemy backline snap a carry and assist your team with snares

a very big part in this is played by balance of numbers vs kit owerload even if champion has only one purpose and nothing more to it he cant be brought up to bar with sheer numbers due to all the bad interactions it causes, and there is the opposite, champions who have owerloaded diverse and usefull kits cant be starwer off that power in numbers because it would create similar bad interactions which leaves us in enviroment where owerloaded champions cant pay for being owerloaded, while specialized champions cant realy excel at their area of expertise

riot creates more champions like this because they are fun they are fun because they are effective they are effective because they have better kits and dont pay for it

I don't mind a champion having a good kit, but there has to be weaknesses on par with the strengths.

There's a reason we're in a tank meta, it's because hard CC tanks are the only ones who can hold onto all these stupid high mobility champions that Rito insists on releasing. CC creep is just the natural extension of mobility creep.
