How am I supposed to stand a chance against people when I get hard CCd while blocking their attacks, and then get my head beat in while I pinned to the ground? What kind of dumb azz fighting mechanic is this?

    There are some skills that go through block. This is a counter to Permablockers

    You likely got hit with fear, fossilize or rune cage. Those are hard ccs that go through block

    There’s a few stuns that are unblockable, to keep tanks and permablockers from being compeltely unCCable. Fossilize (Dragonknight), Nightblade and Werewolf fear, Sorc rune cage, and I’m pretty sure Permafrost all go through block.

    Unless you're 1v4 on Battlegrounds and their dumping their AOEs on you while the melee is in your face. I only block to not simply stand there and absorb the damage.

    You can be hard cc'd through block by a variety of spells.

    There was once a need to counter permablocking so zos buffed/created several counters to it. Then ZoS made perma blocking impossible. And now we have a mess of things that are more or less effective than they should be due to the series of shortsighted changes that characterize the patch cycles of this game.

    Also like in BGs give up on 1v4ing anybody no-cp ain't like that.

    Why can you attack while blocking? The answer is the same, bad game design. In this case, the first bad design (attacking while blocking) is countered with another bad design (CC while blocking) instead of being fixed correctly. This is the essence of the Wobbler's method of combat balance.
    I am mostly pleased with the current state of ESO. Please do continue to ban cheaters though and you guys have to find out who is duping gold and how because the economy is currently non-functional.
