Well to be quite honest, this was needed. I had a 2v2 matchup with my druid and a warrior against a warlock and some stealth class.
The warlock kept us feared for the maximum duration every time, stacked up all his dots and CoEx on us both and used the terrain to kite us both to <50% life before we dropped him and won the game (he was solo!).
Now we DID play a bit more conservatively because we didnt realise his partner had disconnected and we falsely assumed a druid or rogue to be about... but it was downright embarassing and we had so little options. He just controlled us both with ease. Between CoEx, heavy DoTs. Standing on a pillar, chain fearing us etc...
I can see this weakening 2v2 and 3v3 fear bomb teams, but thats about it. 5v5 will be not so badly affected. Fear was really a rediculously powerful CC.
However I do totally agree that in no way should it have been changed prior to the seasons end. Some people may evenm have rerolled with this tactic in mind and are now screwed in the first season.
