Cooldown reduction

 Cooldown Reduction (abbreviated as CDR) is a champion statistic that either reduces the cooldown of champion abilities, or the amount of time before an ability can be used again after activation, by a percentage. This stat is tracked and can be seen in the champion stats tooltip. This cooldown reduction is different than the cooldown reduction for summoner spells and items, with the value not being visibly tracked in game. Items and runes may reduce the cooldown for summoner spells and other items.

Cooldown reduction can be granted by items, buffs, and runes. CDR stacks additively and is capped at 40%, which can be increased to 45% with the Cosmic Insight rune.

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

Based on the type of cooldown reduction, it can affect:

• Normal ability cooldowns. (e.g. Lucian's Piercing Light)
• Item active effects. (e.g. Locket of the Iron Solari).
• Item passive effects with cooldowns. (e.g. Guardian Angel).
• Summoner spells. (e.g. Flash)

Cooldown reduction does not apply to:

• Static cooldowns. (e.g. Anivia's Rebirth)
• On-target Cooldowns. (e.g. Jarvan IV's Martial Cadence)
• Interrupted Durations. (e.g. Garen's Perseverance)
• Rune cooldowns.

Gold Value ​​​

• Cooldown reduction has a gold value of 26.67 per point.

Champion Abilities

Some champions have abilities that decrease their cooldowns by a flat amount, or by a percentage, affecting either their base cooldown or current cooldown, or some abilities can completely 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 circumvent the 40% cooldown reduction cap.

• Depending on built-in reduction type:
  • Base (applies before CDR)
  • Flat (applies after CDR)
  • Percent (applies to base / current / total cooldown)
  • Refresh (cooldown is immediately reduced to 0)
