And that's why the armor system fails so completely.
I think the armor system needs some tweaking, particularly the lack of synergy between physical and magical attackers, but I do not have any problem at all with the concept of "has armor, CC can't land". (Whether non-disabling status effects can work through armor is a debate worth having, but I don't have a problem with armor blocking hard CC.)
This comes down to personal preference, so we're just going to have to agree to disagree.
