Anyway, how exactly is Polymorph even remotely close to Fear in terms of being a better CC? Even if you limit the discussion to 5v5 only, my point still stands. Fear doesn't heal your target, isn't nearly as easy to dispel, and doesn't break on damage (arguable; but regardless, targets remain CCed longer when taking damage from Fear than Polymorph). The only real upside to Polymorph is that no classes have a talent to resist it, but even then, the benefits of Fear more than make up for this in my mind. So, with an actual argument this time, explain to me how Fear is supposedly worse than Polymorph (aside from the fact that you can CC Warriors with it more easily; with the removal of detect magic, this will become more difficult).
