Yeah thats what I thought I was seeing as well and it makes no sense to me as that chain is not a form of CC. I hope they fix that as there is no reason it should work like that.
It took me awhile to figure it out but I think I got it:
The chain itself is not a form of CC however pulling someone to you is and purification beads have two effects the first and most commonly used being that it removes all CC currently on you but it also has a second effect which may not be as visible that is that you are also immune to all CC for 2s so if you activate purification beads 0.6s after Ares has activated his ultimate you still got the immunity from CC which cancels the pull (I think you still take damage though).
This is what I think happens but idk it could be a bug for all we know it's still beta :D.
That is possible, last night during a 1v1 mentoring session I found out that Hades shuts down Ares if timed correctly. Ares' ult just isnt working in the order and manner that I figured it would work. After seeing that, and what you have said about the beads Im thinking Ares is either going to get reworked or we are just going to end up building him as a brusier.
