If you can’t fix the mind control after many years, remove it from the game if your billions in profits are not enough to make it so that after mind control players are not knocked out of the game

Someone was saying the other day in one of the 1000 other threads about this that it was back on ptr and separate from dominant mind now.

I’m already tired, every tenth arena the priest uses mind control and kicks me out of the game
Can confirm this is still a thing. Was puppet-walked under bridge on Circle of Blood and instantly D/C’d, an act which cost us the game (technically cheating imo but nobody at Blizz gives af so w/e lol).
I know its not a fix, but the best stopgap measure is to just not touch your keyboard/mouse during the mind control. Lag causes a positional mismatch when Mind Control ends and sometimes moving too aggressively a direction other than yhe direction the controller is taking you the moment MC ends causes a DC. Youll be especially prone as a DH as im sure youre trying to Fel rush the moment a MC ends
If you arent gonna trinket, just take your hands off your kb/mouse during MC. Dont move for like a half second. I havent had MC dc me for a very long time doing it this way.
It shouldnt have to be that way, but unfortunately it is.

Definitely not fixed. A lot of priests actively try to DC you with it too by jumping around like crazy into walls etc.

I was told to do this a while back and for me it has never worked, I still get DC’d sometimes. I think you’ve just been lucky.
It’s sad because a lot of priest spin and jump your characters into walls etc trying to intentionally force a DC. I read that MC was no longer going to work on players in DF but was changed back. Such an unfair thing to happen and not fix all this time.

I mean I get a few wins a season off the MC bug when I play with a priest and no I will not be waiting for the person to come back.
Mainly because I’ve been viciously targeted by people MCing me and my partners into DCs to win alot more than I can count. Legit it’s used as a win condition for scumbags who spam it all game to get the DC.
You can tell some people spam DC and jump into walls instead of using it how it was meant to be - a reposition cc
Imagine if the game existed in a state where a healer had more responsibility than to spam MCs while some rocket-fueled DPS tees off, effectively making it where wasting DR on an MC instead of using fear as a setup in most instances would cost games, or severley extend them.
MC bug is still definitely in the game. Someone I think actually experimented and found a way to recreate it so it always happens too, so that’s cool!
When I get MC’ed my keybinds usually stop working until relog
Just happened in a BG. Priest MC’d and ran me into a corner / wall - disconnect then put into a battle.net login queue.
you rang for a spriest with a name full of alt codes and a different team every 10 games?
MC is a form of healing or cross CC though lol
You cannot fear every single target on the enemy team and you cannot always position for fears if you need cross especially when your positioning is a concern
Using MCs badly is gunna throw games and also using them well is important
I get MC dcs suck and all especially when people try and force criteria that makes them far more likely to happen but this take seems weird when you look beyond that
DCs suck, but that’s not really what I was getting at. I’m saying on Priest in the comp I play, I can’t afford to MC spam frivolously because I need the full fear to turn and burn to help my DPS kill something; effectively involving me in the process.
Watching someone just hit MC over, and over while a Fury W keys something with 40% MS and ‘nuclear dam,’ and hopes to run you OOM/out of CDs with no real calculated play isn’t interesting gameplay. I duno man, I’m still struggling to learn the game myself, but watching the simplest stuff tuned the highest to reward people for not really needing to improve to climb just gets cringe.
placeholder solution could be to make MC work like lock succubus seduce in pvp (or with a glyph), just a channeled cc and thats it

once again, no one cared about MC bugs until it started happening to them lol
That’s not relevant.
It has the known potential to disconnect someone, which more than likely loses the game for the person DC’d.
Until it’s resolved, I’m in favor of it temporarily being removed.
If they won’t fix it, the least they can do is add a similar % chance to disconnect the MC’ing priest afterwards so it’s fair
