A CC-heavy champion is something that can benefit pretty much every team composition. Champions loaded with CC can easily engage fights, lock down carries, and generally do a lot to make the enemies’ experience miserable.
Now if you are looking to expand your loadout with some great CC picks, here are some great champions you can consider!
Best CC Champions Season 14
Leona
Leona is pretty much the greatest and most useful CC champion. She has a long-range ability that can dash her to an enemy location, a small Q stan, slow on W, and an AOE R stun. The listing sounded like the beginning of a bad joke, but Leona’s kit is indeed full CC. Anyhow, if you are in need of a new support pick, Leona is probably the greatest choice at the current moment.
Nautilus
Another CC champion who comes to mind is when talking about CC is Nautilus. His playstyle is quite similar to that of Leona. The aim of this champion is to spam build resistances like armor, HP, and magic resist, and go around the map CCing enemies. I somewhat prefer playing Nautilus as I find his kit slightly more enjoyable to play due to his Q hook.
Maokai
Now to avoid making this a support CC champions list, we are gonna include some great contenders for other lanes. One amazing pick that can be flexed in the top lane and jungle is Maokai. He is most distinguished by his amazing R that can disable the entire enemy team. Now, the ult is not the only reason this champion got included to the list. As he also has plenty of alternative CC in his kit. His Q, W, and E all variying degrees of CC to them.
Gragas
Another pick that can be flexed in both jungle and the top lane is Gragas. The reason I included him is to spice the list up for people who enjoy a little more mechanical expression. Gragas is a perfect CC menace because of his low CD E. He can repeatedly spam the ability to micro-stun and damage enemies.
Lissandra
The queen of mid-lane CC had to have a spot on the list. Lissandra is a great and safe pick that can enhance many compositions. Her main CC ability is the ultimate that can freeze a champion for a 1.5 seconds. She also has other impairments on her other abilities which allow her to easily lock down carries.
Zilean
Many do not think of Zilean when it comes to CC, it’s quite surprising since this champion has Nasus’ “W” slow but on a lower cooldown. Other than his slow, Zilean also has the ability to stun enemies by hitting them twice with his Q. Now CC aside, the champion will also enable us to cast “E” to speed up allies, and R to revive them. I don’t think we can ask more from a champion.
Final Thoughts
Having a good CC champ is important for having a well rounded team composition. It’s always best to assign the engaging and CC role to top, jg, and support champions due to the nature of their lanes. However, in some situations, there are even mid-lane picks that can play the engage role (such as Lissandra). Anyhow, regardless of what pick you choose from the ones listed, you can always be confident you are making a good choice when it comes to CC selection.
