Now you have poor Mei that barely can do anything, Reaper running rampant with his ult, Tracer laughing hard because nobody can stop her, Hammond roaming free, etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Return the stuns.
Wait, you guys are playing WreckingBall?

I don’t want all the CC back, but Brig absolutely should be able to stun. The support role is struggling because they don’t have the tools they need to protect themselves. Brig is a weak pick because she provides very little value, an underwhelming combination of low healing and low damage. Take care of both problems by letting her shield bash stun again.

No, you obviously didn’t play Overwatch leading up to 2’s release, or you simply forgot. It was not fun being pushed, stunned, CC’d, frozen, hacked, booped, etc. every 10 seconds.

I think that it was a necessary evil.

They absolutely gutted Mei in every aspect. No freeze, much weaker wall, introduced Kiriko who is in every game which just deletes her.

Overwatch was a bad idea.

Mei is solid but slept on imo. Reaper is finally in a decent but fair spot. Tracer is dogpiss. Hammond…barely even exists. 
Statistically speaking Mei does the same DPS as her old primary fire into freeze for a free crit. But now you just primary fire. Lack of CC isn’t what makes her boring. It’s that she wasn’t soft reworked.
Not sure what happens in your games for this to happen but it’s usually ended by killing the reaper outright given the burst damage meta we exist in, or is tanked by a support ult. Plus both Hog and Orisa literally cc him out of it anyway and they’re the top tanks currently.
Funny statement given most Tracer “mains” on sight are crying about how garbage she is giving Mercy “mains” a run for their money as the most whiny character fanbase for the game.
Hammond exists for you?
nty.
The only stun I’d add to the game rn is giving lucio a boop stun like he does in battle for olympus. it would finally make the game be more than just a roadhog hooking everyone off cooldown
Uhhh not 10s tho more like 4
What is funny is I found Mei is really strong vs her.
Being able to delete her ult is funny as hell.
Nah we like our freedoms.
Stun is cheap.

Imo, stuns only needed to be on specific heroes who thematically had a legit reason.
For example, in OW 1, heroes like Cassidy, Junkrat, or Orisa, thematically shouldn’t have CC.
Why would a cowboy have pocket sand that doesn’t allow me to move? How does a robot horse have a magic ball of light that pulls people in?
Why would a pyromaniac focused on dealing high splash / spam damage with grenades need a trap that covers a tiny area?
On the other hand, characters like Mei, Sombra, and Brig, were balanced entirely around CC. Thematically, It makes sense for them to have these abilities, because it works in context to their character and play-style. They had large tradeoffs that hindered them from being too oppressive. Ow 1 Sombra literally had a 6 second stun, and she was considered trash.
If Blizzard planned out which heroes truly needed CC, then it wouldn’t have been as bad, but instead they gave them out willy nilly, and now we’re at this point.

Bring back Brig and McCree stuns

Definitely not current Doom. His health bar disappears in 2 seconds flat the moment his block is down.

The only stun that should have stayed was Brig’s. McCree and Mei’s CC make the game miserable.
