It did not. High resistance to immobilize was one of the suggestions for eliminating the problem, but Castle decided to eliminate the lack of protection instead. Also, I'm pretty sure back then the mez resistance cap was a lot lower than it is now: the game still reflected a fundamental misunderstanding of mez resistance dating back to launch that wasn't really changed until after Willpower launched.

Yeah, the increased mez resistance cap (to 10,000%) came in issue 13 - previously it was 100% or half duration. That's a couple of issues after Willpower.

The set that has both mez protection and mez resistance is Widow Teamwork with Indomitable Will (protection) and Foresight (25% mez resistance).
