Slow Resistance

Slow Resistance

 

Changelogs

 

Reduces the impact of slows on your hero by a percentage. Not to be confused with Status Resistance.

Definition

Equation

Total Percentage-based Move Speed Reductions = Current Percentage-based Move Speed Reductions × Slow Resistance Multiplier

Slow Resistance Multiplier = $\prod_{i=1}^{n}$(1 - Slow Resistance _i)

Stacking

All sources of slow resistance stack multiplicatively. This means a unit's slow resistance value changes less the higher its slow resistance is, and more the lower it is. This prevents a unit from reaching 100% slow resistance by stacking different sources up.

Example

A hero equiped with Unholy Strength received Frost Blast, what is the actual slow percentage value?

Unholy Strength Slow Resistance: 35%

Frost Blast Movement speed slow: 25%

Actual slow value:

= 25% × ( 1 - 35% )

= 16.25%

Example

Sven with Level 3 God's Strength equiped with Unholy Strength received Frost Blast, what is the actual slow percentage value?

Level 3 God's Strength Slow Resistance: 30%

Unholy Strength Slow Resistance: 35%

Frost Blast Movement speed slow: 25%

Total Slow Resistance:

= 1 - ( 1 - 30% ) × ( 1 - 35% )

= 54.5%

Actual slow value:

= 25% × ( 1 - 54.5% )

= 11.375%
