Cooldown reduction

Cooldown reduction (abbreviated as CDR) is a champion statistic that reduces the cooldown of abilities, or the amount of time you must wait before an ability can be used again once you activated it, by a percentage.

Cooldown reduction is granted by items, buffs, runes and masteries, as well as some passive abilities.

Cooldown reduction stacks additively. For example, if you have 5% cooldown reduction from masteries and 10% cooldown reduction from, you will have 15% cooldown reduction. Cooldown reduction cannot be increased beyond 40%.

One cost and mastery efficient way to achieve max CDR is to max out the mastery (5%) and purchase any 20% reduction item and the  (15%), giving a total of 40% CDR. The cheapest is the Ionian Boots and (2200G).

Cooldown reduction is determined at the moment an ability is activated. Increasing/decreasing your cooldown reduction while the skill is on cooldown will not affect the cooldown.

Cooldown reduction does not apply on item active abilities such as that of or item passive effects with cooldowns such as that of . Most sources of cooldown reduction also does not apply on summoner spells unless specifically stated, e.g. the unique enchantment effect of for boots. Cooldown Reduction does not apply to an Innate Ability of any kind.

Lowering cooldowns
Some champions have abilities that decrease their cooldowns by a flat amount, either their base cooldown or current cooldown, or entirely refresh their cooldown. Base reduction occurs before cooldown reduction takes effect while flat reduction occurs after cooldown reduction takes effect. By using those, a champion can disregard the 40% cooldown reduction cap.
