So, now almost every champion is "unblockable" even the editted/buffed ones you bring them back atleast with an unblockable feature somewhere. Are you guys running out of ideas??????

Hehe
It was in this month's EQ
In last week's EOP
In 8.1 on the final boss & I assume it might be on a few paths as well
And now it's also on a mini boss node in AW
1: flying champions couldn't be routed (can use the tag, but then that tag would need a lot more champs added)
2: give unstoppable another effect that it bypasses root. They if they can't be stopped how is a root... stopping them?
3: Buff groot... give him the ability root opponents (maybe after a sp2?)... but only when/after #1 and #2 are also in game.
Block unblockable:
Guardian (against mutants), Stryfe with charges, Red Guardian with shield up, Moleman with frenzy charges, Mr. Sinister anytime.
Evade unblockable specials:
Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Stark enhanced
Ignore unblockable:
Miles Morales (spider-camo), Quake (unless there is power gain or brute force or something like that), Ghost (phase), Kitty (Phase), Killmonger with indestructible charge
Tanks SP's
Iceman with ice armor, Luke Cage (duped), Doom with Aura is quite tanky, use Odin prefight (doesn't work for SP3), Killmonger indestructible charge
Nullify so Unblockable doesn't trigger or goes away
(depends on the type of unblockable - @Magrailothos has a very nice explanation about some different types here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/911664/#Comment_911664)
Most mystic champs that nullify well (Doom, Sym Supreme, Sorcerer Supreme, Diablo with prefight and philosopher's mix, BWCV, Mojo, etc.)
Power control (can't throw unblockable specials if they can't throw specials at all)
Magik, Doom, P2099, Vision, etc. Quake as well since they won't gain power or she can stop some power gain with AAR (depends on the node/champ and/or if they have True Strike or True Accuracy)
Read the node and use the correct play style
Sometimes there are counters or ways to avoid it, or switch it. Like don't parry while they are unstoppable (use CAPIW to remove unstoppable too).
Root:
I don't like it either, but there is hope. If you can quake, many times you can dance around root too (unless they have True accuracy/strike too). We do need some hard counters to root if it is going to keep being added in the game so it is balanced out. Like everything else, it always starts with little, to no, counters and then new champs and/or synergies are added in. That's their business model (incentivize to go for the counters) during a new window of opportunity.

Root is almost always a debuff. Use shruggers like kp or Elsa. Atleast in Kravens case it is a debuff
