As you took over edit of this, I m posting a message rather than changing anything (not going to cross edit or something). Sry that I didn't add comments to edits, I must've overlooked where to write'em as it isn't automatically demanded on templates. To respond to objections:

1) Yes, all was present, however different parts of wiki were contradicting each other and confusing as a result, my attempt was only to unify and accord'em to each other. It is as when you are told in school that it's impossible to extract root of -1, and later you are told it was a lie. Proper learning should prefer a process of adding information, not twisting it (as involving destruction in learning process increases odds of inconsistent reasoning afterwards).

2) I unfortunately just deepened the problem that already exists, the template contained and contains large portions of duplicates (and honestly I had no mood to improve that, that would involve modifying the internal structure of template itself.. nah). The paradox is that now after you removed internal text duplicities, it inflated external template outlook and CC tooltips are too huge for a screen- one solution I thought of would be to use empty alternative texts for ai/ii.. templates, but that might be a violation of this wiki's style. Or to reformulate sentences. I leave it to your judgement, but it should be imo tweaked (personally I like the idea of leaving just icons in tooltips, it would greatly shrink the visuals).

3) Well, yes, we distinguish between block and resist. But what if I considered blocking to be just a very short-lived instance of resist once it procs. Take Fiora's Riposte or Malz' Void Shift as perfect examples of resists that are 'almost' just blocks (0.75s is quite a moment). It's very hard to distinguish blocks from resists by a fact that blocks should block just a single instance of damage/CC. If you suspect block to be an extremely short resist- you are almost unable to determine if all instances of offense hit inside the life-span of such resist. If you however managed to use 2 abilities really at a single moment and only one was blocked- that would be a real proof of block as separate mechanics. But that is almost impossible to execute because of lags and connection delays..

I'm not also sure about your example (Sivir vs Soraka). If you meant Equinox, than the Silence is reason why neither Morgana's shield (situationally) nor Riposte might be used as well. If Sivir walks into Equinox at right time with Spell Shield on, I expect her to block/resist it just as usual (I do similar thing a lot when I need mana on Sivir early, vs Lux etc.). It's just about duration of either resist or block, Olaf would be rooted too if his ult expired before Equinox would complete. This is more related to persistent AoE effects of CC than some differing between resist and block mechanics imo. That said, I'm missing a note about persistent AoE CC in there, being able to reapply after blocks/QS/.., to outdure duration of resists or to rewrite effect of reductions. But it is all a bit too huge already, so I won't insert anything..

Well, as I said, I'm not going to edit CC template now, at least not for any time soon to prevent interference or any disagreement with your edits. I like how you reformulated the sentences though, it sounds more like natural english now. But the inflated tooltip outlook deserves a tweak I think (and I believe that someone else will possibly do that anyway if you won't notice this message soon).
