Alright, now list all anti-CC abilities, and if there are any, tell me which ones effectively work.

Not counting CC vs CC as anti-CC.

With the lack of proper anti-CC, this game is going to cave under CC abilities. This isn’t how we should balance the game.

The inability to heal. It’s a CC if you didn’t know that.

Widows mine puts a reveal effect on the target

Not sure if that counts as cc

I agree, in wow ( nothing like ow BUT ) there is several anti CC abilities that are on LONG CD’s. So you cant use them all the time but can escape when needed.

and if you sucked you would lose so it all worked!

Here I was under the impression CC was a stun, root or displacement that stopped the targets ability to fight. I guess I can see how anti heal would limit it, to an extent?

The tick damage is what makes it CC.

Yup and now we have an FPS game where CC is the main thing in the game now. It’s not fun. It makes the game boring without anti-CC.

Yeah, I mean, when you’re anti’d, do you really want to fight without the ability to heal? You’re at an extreme disadvantage if a lot of your teammates are anti’d.

Agree again, I’ve had games where mei had her ult every single fight, sure my team might be feeding her but still its not engaging gamplay at all lol.

Zarya’s bubbles are anti CC, but I don’t think I can recall anything else.

1 kind of useful anti-CC compared to the many other CC abilities. It isn’t enough.

15

isn’t incapacitate and stun the same thing?

16

Would have been better if Mercy had a mild anti-CC instead of rez (although it would have to be something that doesn’t infringe on anti-nade).

That’s true I guess, but if we count abilities not “granted” I guess we also have to add Mei’s Ice Block.

Orisa’s fortify is self anti-CC. I would argue that it isn’t a good anti-CC ability at all for a team based game. Zarya’s bubble is nice, but it isn’t consistent enough to go against a team full of CC.

I don’t recall Meteor strike ever moving people it hits. Does it really do that?

Brigitte’s primary also moves people around a bit.
