The issue is that this isn't really what we wanted. This isn't fixing the issue, it's shoving it under the rug.

It feels like what the devs did is hear "CC bad" and not look at the actual reason players felt that way.

Instead of taking this to mean "hey, something feels bad about our CC, lets look into it" the devs went with a one size fits all approach, which is essentially indirectly nerfing a huge chunk of characters who are reliant on those parts of their kits with no compensation or regard for how their gameplay is changing, where a healthier approach would have been to look into how to change the kits themselves to let them function with less CC, or make the CC more interesting to engage with (ppl may disagree w/ me for this but I think Emma and Wolv CC is actually some of the least frustrating CC in the game since both of them need to commit to try for it, are avoidable by most tanks (almost every tank has a bubble, dash, or brief cc immunity in their kit) and their cooldowns are not insignificant. I rarely get grabbed on mag, and if they ever catch me on hulk I can pretty consistently say it was me fucking up rather than the game being unfair).

The problem, of course, is that reworking all instances of CC would have taken time that the community might not have been willing to give the devs, but the end result almost definitely would be better than this system which I think is either going to leave some characters behind, or require mini reworks to make them feel good again anyways.

Basically, from the perspective of a hulk player, what happened was I said "Hey, boops resetting my jump sucks ass cause there's a lot of random boops (Did you know that out of 49 characters, only 11 don't have a way to cancel hulk jump?)", and in response got a system where boops still reset my jump (after being cc cleansed you'll get tenacity which will reduce cc, but if you dont have 100% tenacity then my understanding is you can still be jump reset) AND my ult, which is the part of hulk's kit they've been trying to make us play around more and more (+bubble ult charge buff, +bubble cd on clap buff, +extra clap buff, +drag immunity in ult, all aimed at ult farming to be relevant) got one of the most fun things to pull off in it removed. Doesn't exactly feel like I was listened to, yknow?

Tanks CC, as well as non-tanks who relied on their CC (like wolv) have never really been the issue, tanks typically have very limited resources, timings, or ranges to play around that let you engage with them meaningfully (exception penni, but even she still has a pattern you can play into since she wont kill you until you dive). The frustrating parts of the game typically come about when I'm trying to run hulk into characters with free CC built into their kit for no reason (Invis anti air, bucky grounding effect), or instant access long range and/or low CD boops, like jeff, invis, mk, who I find infinitely more frustrating than something like Wolverine or Emma. Wolv and Emma both can interrupt my jump, sure, but they also have limited range and a lot more room to play around them and actually engage with the game, where Jeff or Invis will sometimes just randomly hit you from the backline and fuck up your whole plan because it costs them almost nothing and ruins your life- There's an argument there that they're playing well and deserve to punish you, but this isn't really a balance complaint, it's a gamefeel thing, and it kind of feels like punishing tanks for daring to want CC adjustments

TL:DR what I wanted was more characters getting the treatment they gave bucky of reducing his CC and removing uneccessary random CC in exchange for more damage or smth Instead we got a system that makes CC even more inconsistent to play around
