I never said I think it should. In fact, there's very little harm in giving the Zon a way to hold back crowds, such as knockback. I don't think it should be nerfed or interferred with at all...what should be nerfed (IMHO) are her big damage, hit-many-guys-at-once attacks. I'm happy as pie that the Assassin has Mind Blast to hold her enemies at bay. It's a great skill, but since it doesn't kill, it's not broken. Same with knockback on bows, except that that huge-damage-per-second stuff gets in the way. :)
MS, on the other hand, dishes out too much damage even still, and applies knockback and other ailments in as efficient a way as I can think of.
I haven't tried her in 1.10 yet, though, since I don't have the computer to run it. Regardless, I don't see how a glass cannon build would not work, since a good veteran Zon knows enough than to get hit. :) Then again, I haven't seen the monster speed increases that I've heard about, in action.
Afterthought:
Tell you what: You know what I think would be cool? Make some enemies "Status Ailment Immune", just like the other immunes. So, you're firing into a big mob, comforted by your lovely, shiny Cleglaws, when all of a sudden you're awoken from your dreamy mouse-button-holding by a bunch of monsters who walk straight through your rain of fire. I mean, walk right up to you! Not slowed, not chilled, not knocked backwards. Would that keep you on your toes, or what? (And of course, this is in addition to champs, uniques, etc)
