    Have we gone a little too far chasing new frames?

    Not a clue, I've been running him with the Zarr of late and never bothering to switch off of the bomb shot.

    Tried the Tonkor but... it's just not the same weapon it used to be. Can't even kill myself deliberately with it no matter how hard I try.

    Do you mean Enthrall? You shouldn't be able to Enthrall 9 targets, 7 is the max so maybe a bug? Not that you really should have 7 very much. Gotta keep killing them for the juicy pillars.

    Why don't you stop being a wukong main and join the holy crit of harrow?

    Instead of DeMonkey it would be DePriest?

    why keep stuck with ugly wukong boi?

    They are sentient and sapient. They ain't toasters. Clearly they aren't things (in-universe, obviously, as game characters they are not people). And I'm not going to "get away from the common hot topic of gender" as long as uneducated people don't accept other people can decide themselves who they are.

    CC Frames not in the best position these days

    So what is the plan though?

    We replace CC with more "press button to insta-kill"? Or we make it so enemies don't melt instantly from a lazy Saryn/Mesa?

    Problem is not that CC is bad. The problem is that it has become way too easy to ez-mode with brute force by stacking Ability Strength/Range and using Zenurik. Take out Zenurik and Corrupted mods from your build and you will see where the problem stems from.

    Saryn and Mesa

    thats the problem, they don't need corrupted mods, Saryn escalates so well because of corrosive.

    I remember back in the days when people made nerf threads about CC abilities or shouted "OP!" after seeing just Titania's first ability in a devstream ^^

    I missed that one, you're right that's the only Game mode that works with cc, especially with Vooben.

    CC Frames like Vauban and Nyx aren't really used a lot these days, because their kit is Full CC without any damage or support

    Other frames like Khora, Harrow, and Baruuk can CC and kill at the same time.

    Defense - Kill all the enemies so the next round comes (Who needs Loki when Mesa can clear an entire room without having to aim and make the enemies in front of you unable to use weapons)

    Survival - Kill enemies so you get life support and you won't die (The meta here is loot frames like  Nekros,Hydroid, and Nidus)

    Extermination - Pretty obvious (Meta here is Ember WoF or Equinox)

    ESO -  Kill all the specimens so you don't lose efficiency (Nuke frames is the meta here)

    Excavation - Kill all the incoming enemies and grab their power reactor (Meta here is defensive frames like Frost or Gara and CC won't be needed)

    Eidolons - There isn't any CC frame in the meta, just buffers, and healers ( I was expecting a meta change in The orbs but it went worse than expected)

    My point is, that if Saryn can kill 40 enemies faster than Loki can disarm them, then Loki disarm will look pretty pathetic

    There is no game mode where Full CC is meta, nor even that needed.

    Raids gave Full CC frames an purpose, I remember when Vauban wasn't the dusty useless frame that is today.

    Loki saves itself because he at least works very good on solo and has Invisibility, but that's it.

    What do you guys think?

    Is Loki in a not so good position rigth now?

    And not only because of that, but because the Game resides on killing enemies fast

    Defense - Kill all the enemies so the next round comes (Who needs Loki when Mesa can clear an entire room without having to aim and make the enemies in front of you unable to use weapons)

    Survival - Kill enemies so you get life support and you won't die (The meta here is loot frames like  Nekros,Hydroid, and Nidus)

    Extermination - Pretty obvious (Meta here is Ember WoF or Equinox)

    ESO -  Kill all the specimens so you don't lose efficiency (Nuke frames is the meta here)

    Excavation - Kill and the incoming enemies and grab their power reactor (Meta here is defensive frames like Frost or Gara and CC wont be needed)

    Eidolons - There isn't any CC frame in the meta, just buffers, and healers

    I don’t think it’s as simple as “Loki is bad now.” 

     If we’re just comparing the Loki today to the Loki of the LoR days, then the Loki of today is objectively stronger. Thanks to Augur mods, augments, and Zenurik, Loki himself has never been stronger, even though he’s been basically unchanged since the release of the game. And on top of all of that, the most powerful components of his kit are all useful regardless of enemy level. The combination of invisibility and disarm means that he can essentially live forever in most missions while making them significantly safer, and his wide-range CC doesn’t interfere with enemy spawns the way that, say, Nova and Nyx do. 

    The sole reason for his fall from grace is that wholesale murder has increased in power a lot faster than Loki has. If you can kill enemies as fast as Loki can disarm them, then yeah. Radial Disarm is going to look pretty pathetic. And while damage abilities absolutely should have been made relevant (since they weren’t really relevant at all in Loki’s glory days), I’d say that giving them as much area of effect as top tier CC abilities was a pretty big mistake. 

    Yup, that is why Full CC Frames like Vauban,Nyx,and Loki are not in the best position rigth now.

    Problem: Gara's Mass Vitrify on Uneven Terrain

    1, Much wider coverage/blocks enemies. Alternatively play Frost.

    2, Adjust energy color

    3, Play Frost

    Look man its not supposed to be a carbon copy of Snow Globe. Its an alternative to Globe. Better in some areas, worse at others.

    1 - Frost can cover multiple excavators and objectives, can make its globe stronger which each thrown in

    2 - Not every gara does it,and you have to put effects intensity very low

    3 - Not the solution .-.?

    They are very different, you use Gara to cover a big area, while frost uses it to cover multiple and smaller objectives

    It needs to be fixed, why wouldn't you want it?

    It does, im trying to say ''learn to play her'' in a nice way. My point stands, Mass Vitrify is fine and balanced, Snow Globe exists to cover what Vitrify cant.

    This is the problem, its not about "learning to play her", the Mass Vitrify has more disadvantages than Snow globe

    1 - Cannot have multiple vitrify

    2 - The Wall can blind you by not letting you see clearly outside

    3 - and the mentioned above problem where in Open maps vitrify doesn't go into the ground, unlike frost globe.

    Mass Vitrify needs a code to be able to stick its glass into the ground, otherwise il float.

    but this isn't a Gara and Frost comparison, this is a needed change because Vitrify doesn't stick into the ground and sometimes floats into the air,  letting enemy fire enter.

    Never had a problem with Gara in either PoE or Vallis and would pick her over Frost anyday. You have Splinter Storm for extra protection.

    That hasn't anything to do with what the OP said

    ""whenever I am on a map with uneven terrain, especially the Vallas, and use her 4 (Mass Vitrify) the bottom of the wall will very often not fully connect to the ground on all sides, leaving big gaps underneath where enemies are still free to pass or shoot through. It's pretty frustrating."
