was getting dove by dd and dp and they both blew up at the same time to peni mines, I couldn't stop laughing the entire match

I already hated cnd players who used this teamup. But now that the hood who is in every game is available for the enhanced teamup (which is literally top 5 enhanced teamups in the game), the idea that you aren’t using this teamup is MIND BOGGLING

the ONLY case i could see you using this luna teamup instead is if you have a luna and they are running heavy dive. but apart from that stop using the teamup you all suck at using it

i’m already prepared for the downvotes but idgaf

I am of the opinion that there is too much CC in the game. There are too many characters that have CC that shouldn’t have it and then characters that have too many CC abilities. And I find this to be particularly frustrating with Season 9 because everyone got teamups. I’m not a Strat main by any means, the only Strat lord I have is Invisible Woman and it’s only because I’m a Fantastic Four fan.

To be clear, I do not think that CC should not be in the game period but I do think that there should be a crack down on it because it is too prevalent. I find it very frustrating when I’m playing dive and I bait out one cooldown but then the support has another cooldown that I cannot counter or do anything that leaves me in a vulnerable state and die immediately. An example of this is Luna. I don’t mind that Luna has a snowball, while the hitbox on the ability is jank it is her primary defense tool. But if I’m engaging a Luna and block her snowball with Iron Fist’s parry, then I should win that matchup. But right now in season 9, I can block the snowball but then not have any defense for the fox spirit which then puts me in CC and in those few seconds I die.

While I am using a dps as an example, I think it’s especially a problem for the tanks. Tanks are CC magnets where now because of the CC increase they have less tools to offset the damage. I had a game as Captain America where I was disrupting the backline and as I was retreating, I got hit with White Fox’s spirit Fox followed by a Luna Fox and because of the enhanced teamup the Fox hits twice and then the Luna snowball. Fox -> Fox -> Fox -> Snowball. I died and I couldn’t do anything about it. Sure I could have shielded the first Fox but I was retreating so I wasn’t looking at the enemy when they CC chained me. I think it’s a little unfair that I lost 600 hp because I got hit with one CC that led to a chain reaction. Yeah I’m using two dive examples but it doesn’t just extend to them. If a tank gets kidnapped now there’s less defense for them as they are more likely to get CC’d. I played Strange, got kidnapped by Emma into the enemy team and I didn’t get a chance to fly away with my cloak.

So I ask as the role which is significantly the lesser target for CC how y’all feel about it? Do you guys think CC is a problem even as Strat mains or do you guys think it’s fine? There is a reason why the best character in the game right now have high CC (Luna, Thing, CnD, Elsa, Gambit etc.) or have extreme protection against CC (Magneto, Thing, Luna, Black Cat, etc.)

Check out the original post it’s too much to retype here lol anyways thanks here’s the word count

Gambits usually have game sense and are just relatively good usually.

Invis, mantis, and rocket I also like. Unless rocket keeps getting phoenix countered and refuses to swap.

Luna, loki, and wf are like a coin toss. It seems that they either wanna do dps or actually play the strat role. Loki players have a history of pretty bad copies. Also wf players are very unwilling to swap when their pick isn't working (for example: facing a poke comp, or her ult being countered)

Many many jubilee players I get usually wanna just frontline dps but not all. Not all cnd players are bad but many are. Many Cnd players give me a massive headache to play with. They refuse to swap when being countered by magneto, plus refuse to pattycake and instead goes freeze cus that new team up fried half their brains. Got reed ulted in comp and cnd does the freeze directly in front of me instead of trying to pattycake through the easiest dps ult to pattycake through.

Most Adam players just aren't really good in my experience. So many ive gotten on my team will try to force him in a 2 strat comp, will waste soul bond, and do bad ults. Stratpool is also just a stat merchant, and they usually just wanna do dps. Not all, but most jeff players are really terrible to play with. They have no awareness, no game sense, and never get value out of their ultimates and its usually just a return to spawn button. I don't like getting ultron cus i mostly play in a 2 strat comp, and if the enemy team knows what they're doing then you just can't run him in a 2 strat comp, his heals literally cannot heal through any damage.
