Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.3 Patch Notes

Monsters

Crowd Control Sources We have made various changes to Monster Abilities and Elite Affixes that apply Crowd Control effects, including

Cold Enchanted Elites that attack in quick succession (Ex: Ghost Archers and Snake Brutes) will no longer proc the Cold Enchanted on every hit.
Chilling Wind will spawn overlapping walls less often.
The Stun ability from the Cannibal Gorger can now be more easily avoided.
Increased the cooldown on the Cold Goatman Ice Pillars.
Reduced the amount of Chill applied from the Cold Spider attack.
Reduced the Stun duration from the Nangari Snake Eyes from 1.5 to 1.25 seconds.
The stun from Cannibal Gorger enemies can now be more easily avoided.
Other changes that reduce how often the player can be targeted by Crowd Control

Developer’s Note: These changes are aimed at the player having less time being Crowd Controlled and receiving more recovery time after being Crowd Controlled, especially at higher World Tiers.

Comment by NotATrollOr just remove the annoying CCs that are just plain unfun. Reducing proc chances and durations is one step i guess, but the $%^&*'s still in our collective ass. Just pull it out already.Comment by lizzmoi never had this issue with monster's crowd control they should of left it alone... now the game becoming to easy then it need's to be lmaoComment by Gaddi never had this issue with monster's crowd control they should of left it alone... now the game becoming to easy then it need's to be lmaoComment by BlightyJust remove Cold Enchanted and Chilling Wind. They are trash, they're not fun to play around and are a lazy way to implement """""challenge"""""

Or at the very least give the dash ability iframesComment by NocularIt's like they just do the bare minimum and everyone gets excited.Comment by RaecaredI wish they would allow resistances to STRONGLY counter CC, so it would give a lot of value to resistance stat. Like significant help with it.

They should also double the value of the duration reduction on CC stat on gear to give it a lot more value. You could just build into your stats a way to counter CC.

And I mean like if you actually invested in these stats you're virtually immune to CC. That would really make a player consider forfeiting + Crit/Vulnerable/Etc affixes on gear to be tanky as possible to all CC. Not some half measure where you're still stuck for 2+ secs and get chained into the next CC.Comment by BlightyJust remove Cold Enchanted and Chilling Wind.
