You don't enjoy being dazed for 14 seconds against SD thieves?

We definitely do not need a system on top of stability and CC breaks. They frequency, duration and/or existence of some CC skills need to be reduced. AOE CC should be close to nonexistent. No CC should be unblockable. This would solve most of CC issues.

Unless we already have that lol.

what mobas?

Or updraft all cc skills and give them a second delay application so you have the time to dodge/evade/pop stab/whatever?

Yeah, the CC right now is completely bonkers, both soft and hard CCs.

And, OP, I like those ideas! Another note, you can have all the stunbreaks you want, they won't save you against pulsing AoE CCs! You also need to remove a few entirely from all classes.

Yep

• Pulsing AoE CCs should be removed.
• AoE CCs should be really rare, and no damage.
• AoE CCs laying on the floor (trap/mark) should have delayed activation time, just like Updraft
• Single target CC should have cast time, and low damage.

Together with the nerf to CC, I wouldn't mind more nerfs to block/blind to accommodate it. Many classes are still way too tanky, and that would be problematic when CC got nerfed.

Those are all very good and sensible suggestions! But please let's not add another unique buff.
