It's bad because while the spell only lands 1 out of 10-15 attempts its still good enough when it does land to keep spamming it, thus most fights become a rootspam fest. It also makes it much harder then it already is to fight while being outnumbered.
It greatly reduces the art of how to actually kill someone and how fights develop. Right now in groupfights it's almost always "Look for the rooted guy and press autoattack". In classic when somebody landed a dot on you it felt like shit, because even if you could cure it you had to stand still while doing so, which leaves you very vulnerable (Like being rooted does, which you didn't get on live). The classbalance just gets too customized.
