In DOS1 you could literally one shot enemies (like rain+ice shard on firedudes or stealth+backstab), and CC them at will in many instances (this is cheesy but hard to resist). With DOS2's new armor system, that is less of a problem (kudos to Larian for fixing that).

Now you at least have to figure out a way to remove the appropriate armor, then CC them. It is much more fun. Some softer CC might be nice to try but don't know if it would make game better.

There are lots of way to remove CC, you just have to position yourself correctly so multiple teammates don't get CC'd at same time. I even hit my own guy with a fireball to remove frozen once, just so he could attack next.

Larian please continue to make the enemies smarter and tougher but don't make the players weaker.

I have to agree with vivalafai on this topic. I don't really understand all the complaints about CC. Except that folks want to solo the game without using 'cheesy' tactics, and CC makes that very hard. Too bad.
