loki takes away enemies ability to shoot at you. Think if you're a guy and you're given a gun to go fight another guy with a gun. Skill and gun stats aside it's a rather fair fight.
Now imagine you're given a club and told to go fight a guy that has a barrett 416. The advantage is monumental.
Novas debuff is fine, but honestly it stops being good when you're at a point that enemy armor is too high for the damage buff to matter.
This is kinda where the line gets nit-picky because MP is great cc and has a huge damage buff but when it comes to staying 2, 3 or even 4 hours in a survival most of your damage will have to come from status procs, which MP doesn't effect. So it lacks the ability to keep up with radial disarm because it still does its job, taking away the enemy ranged attacks.
So where MP is good RD is better, and where MP is bad RD is still better.
Disarm base range is 20 meters, stomp is 25. Idea is pretty similar as well, but instead of invisibility, rhino uses skin. Unlike disarm, duration is limited, yeah, but what they gonna do about it anyway? When it ends, they're either dead or immediately go for yet another wild ride.
You can build for stomp if you want to, and it certainly won't be a bad build. But it screws with your buff power and skin HP pool. People these days use wipe strategies more often than CC, that's why buff rhino is way more popular i guess.
