As someone who only plays this game for the pvp, i do hate CC but let's be honest, most good players struggle to finish someone off who knows how to pvp, I have only 1 build that does not rely on CC and it is absolutely min/maxed to hell and still struggles to finish off good players with high sustain.

Good example, my stam warden could literally sit on his back bar spamming shimmering shield and popping burst heal from time to time and never die, but if i am CC'd (not immobilised) then i cannot cast that stuff and if i dont get out of it quick enough i am toast.

CC i hate and CC we need.

The game has turned into "who can CC first and most frequently". There should be a penalty for overuse of CC. Like, a CC actually backfires and the attacker stuns
their self. If they can't kill me after three CCs then they deserve to eat my Radiant Oppression. They shouldn't be allowed to spam it until someone shows up to help them or they just finally manage to kill me.

Or you know... dismissing returns like in every other game

I think most agree that CC in ESO is a bit much. What I think we need is more tactical CC. This means every class should get 1 soft CC (snare or immobilize), and either 1 hard CC (stun, fear or pull) or 1 mezz (very long duration CC that breaks upon any damage but suppresses dots). None of the hard CC abilities should also do high damage or additional powerful effects. AOE CC should have a significant reduced duration compared to single target CC.
The PVP skill lines should get a single AOE mezz to help coordinated groups fight zergs.

I think this would help alot compared to CC now.
i.e. Nightblades atm have a stun, an AOE stun, a knockdown, a fear, 3 snares and an immobilize.
Dragonknights have a pull, a passive snare, an AOE immobilize, a knockdown and 3 stuns.
Sorcerers have 3 stuns, 2 AOE stuns and immobilize. In addition to that everyone can pick up certain CC from universal skill lines, it is just too much.
