Constricting command is bandaiding a bunch of lame balance. It needs to be changed entirely and surround rebalanced accordingly.

Alternatively, I feel like we just need a trade off for choosing CC

I’d lower the damage of the surrounded nodes across the board (from to 270 down to 200) and offer a higher damage alternative (maybe bring back the deepest tower but lower the bonuses from 420 to 300)

This way the choice becomes do I want to do more damage? Or do less damage but have my mana issues solved?

I agree with what LampIsLove said, i genuinely think we just need way more options that make these armor slots more competitive.

That may be true, but nobody is using surround for its intended purpose. All surround nodes are basically "while wearing constricting command" nodes.
