Guild Wars 2

Started playing pvp again yesterday and its kinda crazy how much CC spam there is imo. Even 1v1 vs some classes it gets very very annoying and if its a 2+ teamfight im CCed all the freakin time. Im throwing out a lot myself with the druid/necro, but its getting seriously frustrating. im barely in control of my character, capture points are almost always covered with CC fields, stability/stunbreaks did not keep up with all the new stuns/pulls/kbs/kds etc.
This needs some fine-tuning imo but im not sure how, theres just so many cc skills and so little counters (well revenants have it easy with stability on dodge but otherwise stunbreaks/stability is really lacking). Maybe some kind of new mechanic that addresses this like some form of defiance/breakbar?

Or maybe im just not yet used to the new meta, other people have this issue with CCs?

It’s only Engineers, Dragon Hunters and Mesmers. I think the other classes are ok in regards to ccs.

typical ranger has MoC powered glyph/AF3/hilt bash/daze on staff swap, knockback on glyph (sometimes), knockback on GS, knockdown on pet, lots of immobilize

necro has 2-3x fear, 2x stun, corrupting stability to fear, crazy amounts of chill.

Thief and war are not really played in pvp atm. So only ele and rev have reasonable amounts of CC imo.

Its just not fun being bounced around so much.

I remember one of the matches I was in had a big fight on a point. It was literally a giant clusterkitten of particle effects, "Invulnerable"s, 0s, and getting bounced around and rooted for like half a minute lol. CC seems to play a much, much larger role than it ever had or has any right to and I think all the new CC abilities were designed for PvE breakbars so that makes it worse.
