True, but most of the time it IS better. And most here seem to think nerfing is always the worst option.

By this logic knocks and cc duration should be increased right now.

Movement speed got increased. Attack speed got increased. Significantly! Really, you should watch old videos, how slow archers and warriors attacked back then! Let alone the new movement system... Strafing added a lot of mobility (and the ability to attack anyone in range without having to turn first), which means the immobility due to knocks is far more crucial. (This last one had the biggest impact, imo)
