A champion's health being healed.
Healing is the action of replenishing a unit's current health, distinct from the other forms of health restoration (life steal, spell vamp, omnivamp and health regeneration). It can be weakened by healing reduction.
Healing cannot increase a unit's current health over its maximum. The act of leveling up and certain champion abilities (such as 
Lulu's 
Wild Growth) will increase a unit's current health by the same amount as the increase to their maximum health, but this is not considered a form of healing. As a result, they are not affected by healing reduction.

Healing reduction
- Grievous Wounds is a debuff that reduces all healing received.
- Howling Abyss aura reduces all outsourced healing and regeneration effects by 50%.
Preventing healing altogether
- Kindred's Lamb's Respite negates all healing effects on a unit once they've reached a certain health threshold.
On-heal effects
The following will trigger an effect upon healing an ally:
Notes
- Grievous Wounds will have no effect on champions that enter resurrection or a zombie state as the heal following the event they take fatal damage takes place after the debuff is removed by the dispel. Sion's Glory in Death, specifically when he heals back to full, is unaffected by any form of healing modifier.

Trivia
- Before V9.9, Aatrox's Deathbringer Stance could inflict Mutilator against enemy champions.
- In a role-play setting, healing may represent anything from attending to battle wounds to repairing damaged hardware to replenishing a magical spell that holds a construct together, but outside of its physical representation, its effect is always the same - it serves as a direct increase to a unit's current health.
- Healing can be viewed as the polar opposite of damage. Unlike sources of damage, however, sources of healing are uncommon and the majority cannot be used to heal others - and those that can frequently have large ulterior costs to use.
- Any healing in-game that restores less than 20 health is not shown as the usual +X green text.
