Dante is an extremely powerful frame with wide application. Having LOS is reasonable. No one says Mesa is worthless because of LOS. You want to LOS Thermal Sunder? Go for it. Saryn? I think spores are supposed to be airborne, but whatever, she would still be good. Equinox is nowhere close to a meta nuker anymore, but if it makes you feel better.

CC in plenty of other games does fine with mini-elite enemies being affected in some way, somehow. You're having trouble understanding why CC frames having defacto deficits in their kit, by design -- versus other frames without that disadvantage -- is a problem. Frames like Banshee and Nyx are jokes, with usage rates reflecting that. Limbo and Vauban are increasingly worse off. May as well give them each a new version of Mesmer Skin, since you believe that it's the pinnacle of active gameplay. Truth is that it's not a CC player's problem to figure out how DE should be detecting AFK play, but if all CC is inherently incompatible with DE's capability to combat AFK issues or "lazy" gameplay, yank it. Let's all be glorious non CC frames.

Since CC only affects regular enemies, and intended gameplay is instantly wiping regular enemies from existence, they may as well remove CC from the game. It's not there to make any difference, it's just a way to inconvenience some of the AI until you look at it while hammering E, pressing 1-4, or holding left click. Replace all CC abilities with overguard and damage enhancers and this game can reach its perfected form.

Unintended mechanics that have been in place for the past two years. OG has been in since April of '22. It's a "change" at this point. May as well "fix" all double damage dipping effects while DE is in the mood.
