The whole ldea of armor was to get rid of chance CC from first game, where you were savescumming to counter or apply CC rolls.
Yeah and now you save scum to get every fight to play perfect since CC is garbage and everything must play in an exact way or the enemies end up murdering you because they have retarded amounts of armor.
That or you cheese the AI with any of the non fun stupidly broken cheesy BS everyone does.
SO FUCKING FUN!
