I think it's that the Titans now use their ranged attacks more often. Those attacks have holds and/or stuns involved, so if there are a lot of titans around and they stack them up, it could be an issue. As Malta is a high-end group designed to offer challenge through long mezzes and annoying debuffs, this is (I guess) WAI.

Some/all of the titans used to not use anything other than their burn patch missles. They were essentially disabled by mistake, and have been re-enabled "recently".

They weren't buffed, per se, but the did have a problem with their AI fixed that had that net effect. They have gas missiles that work something like Poison Gas Trap. If you stand in the gas, it applies holds to you. If you get a few of these stacked in one spot, it can overcome melee AT mez protections. Their AI used to mean that they basically never fired these missiles, even though they were part of their powers list. Now their AI was fixed and they fire them.|

I find the gas is manageable for melee ATs if they move around. I find it's seriously obnoxious for most squishies.

I'm not a noob to the game. I've been fighting Malta for as long as I've been in the game, and I'm quite sure I have never seen their mez attacks being so effective.
I suppose it's also possible that player mez protection has been debuffed, but I haven't heard anything about that lately either.
