hard cc =/= cc that makes you unable to move. I also thought this once, but hard cc doesn't allow you to cast spells, where soft cc is all else, so slows, snares, etc. Snare is no hard cc, as it doesn't prevent you from using spells that do not include momement. Or using autoattacks. And silence is hard cc, as it DOES prevent you from using spells.
