A Proposed Change to the Overall Distribution of CC and Other Things in Smite

Agree with subzero, there is too much CC component in the new and upcoming gods. CC must be critical for a tank or guardian like Ymir, Ares or Bacchus, etc. Although, gods like Anhur and Anubis have just the adequate amount of CC. Vamana lacks in CC, his 1 is not significant in damage or stun and even if he stuns he cant use another skill as a combo to it like ymir does with his 3 and then 2. Odin yes relies too heavily on his ulti for CC, would love to see his leap skill 1 to be faster and longer in range, otherwise, he seems to be too slow and predictable. what I wish to see in a larger perspective is tat: tanks and guardian must be high on CC and low on damage, burst damage must have adequate CC at times to save their ***es or to use with tough combo skills. Giving CC to a hunter or assassin is arguable, I think it should be minimum or strictly part of the ulti like Xbalanque and Loki.

I don't feel that any one god has to much CC, but the right team comp can certainly have what seems like infinite amounts of CC though :P

I kind of do not feel that new gods have to much CC (this is not just because you said it, a lot of ppl think they do).

Lets just have a look:
Mercury has his Special Delivery and the Sonic Boom IMO that is just fine, loot at Thor for gods sake :P

thantos has his Soul Reap just fine.

New Kali got a 1 sec stun with her Incense, just fine.

Chaac has the Rain Dance which is just a slow and the Storm Call, seems fine to me 3 sec silence is strong but it isn't a stun :P

Nu Wa got her flame strike which is good, but hard to hit so totally fine by me.

Ah Muzen Cab a slow and a cripple on his ult.

Sun Wukong has a lot, but IMO that is fine for a bruiser and it is not like the tiger and ox are hard to dodge :P

Zhong Kui a stun and a slow (the slow might be a bit to much, at least it feels like it if he builds gem), but he lacks some of the burst that other mages have so IDM.

Geb well he is a support :)

My point is that it is not a lot compared to the old "original" gods. So the amount of CC is not something that magically appeared (which it seems some ppl think), it has been the way Smite has been since before open beta :P

Just look at Ymir, Agni, Anhur, Ra (slow and blind), Artemis, Cupid, old Guan Yu, Anubis, Hades, Ares, old Sun Wukong/ Hun Batz, Sobek, Thor etc etc.

I think the reason why I think there are more CC heavy gods is because when we do get a CC god, it is really bad. Like Chang'e or Chaac or release day Mercury.
