Knockbacks are fine, stuns are not, get it right

Season 3 Lucio says hi.

22

Boops are absolutely fine, but stuns are just lazy design, they exist to make the game less fun and I don’t really understand them.

23

Only 1 out of 3 of Dumbfoot’s abilities have hardCC

24

i mean… no. he’s had some crazy high pick/wins in the past.

25

Almost anything in the game can be used in a CC manner with a bit of ingenuity, so complaining about too much CC is a bit pointless to start with.

26

Yes, people should get the terms right but knockbacks are still annoying. The brig flail slap can really make playing rein/orisa hell since theyre so reliant on positioning

27

I’m a CC hater but ashe’s CC is fine

28

Yea…if we start getting mad at a knockback now…then Brig and Doom need to be removed :smiley: Knockbacks are fine.

29

People complain about Doomfist because uppercut locks you in it’s movement until you hit the ground again.

30

Complete incapacitation / loss control of your character is the worst thing in a game of this type. Getting pushed back a bit is pretty harmless in most cases.

31

its the opposite

who cares about stuns unless you’re tracer

bops are the most annoying cc in the game

32

more anti-stun definitely needs to be put into the game. reworking brigette, adding at least one new support with anti-stun abilities/ultimates, and adding anti-stun buffs to an existing hero would fix pretty much everything

33

shields are anti stun

bubble is anti stun

matrix is anti stun

mobility is anti stun

play mccree for a day and you will see stun doesn’t actually do anything

34

found the bad mccree

35

4000+ mccree main

stuns are the most easiest to counter in this game

its fun having a dva and winston on your face all the time, but sure dude 1 second stun works on them right?

36

i literally wait out all those tank abilities before i use it and dont really struggle with pulling off stuns but…

you clearly play more mccree than me so comment retracted
EDIT: no wait you’re a one-star bronze portrait in diamond what in tarnation? i guess you could have decayed all last season and just placed again so idk but still a bold statement

37

mccree has probably one of the strongest stuns yet he is completely garbage if you don’t hit headshots all the time, almost every hero either has some way of surviving the flash, dodge it, tank it or punish you for even using it

i got 5 accounts, i tend to joke around with this one

38

Unless it’s Doomfist’s uppercut which is just a death sentence since it takes away all your control. Besides that I don’t really have a big issue with forced movement.

39

Lucio is definitely up there, but i think mcree is the most balanced just because he takes so much skill and positioning to achieve any value

40

you right about that. tbh you’ve summed up why i mainly just support my reinhardt with mccree like a scuffed brigette. i gotta use teamwork to pull off most flashbang kills that arent fan the hammers
