Notes

• Movement includes basic movement and mobility abilities (i.e.  dashes and  blinks, such as Ezreal's Arcane Shift).
  •  Ground does not impede basic movement.
• Attack refers to a champion's basic attacks (by default right-click).
• Ability refers to a champion's castable spells (by default , , , and ).
• Spells refer to summoner spells.
• Actives refer to items with actives.
• Interrupt refers to whether or not the effect will cancel  channeled and charged abilities.
  •  Roots will not interrupt channels, with the exception of movement channels, unless otherwise stated.
•  Airborne,  Knockdown, and  Stasis are the only crowd control effects that interrupt  dashes and  displacements.
• Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way (neither reduced, resisted, nor removed), with the exception of self  slows (e.g, Pyke's Bone Skewer, Rammus' Defensive Ball Curl, Galio's Shield of Durand) which are reduced by  slow resist.
•  Brittle is a  debuff uniquely applied by Ornn. It reduces a unit's effective  Tenacity by 30% and increases the duration of  Airborne effects by that percentage. It is consumed by  immobilizes.
•  Forced Action crowd control effects end prematurely if the Source is  killed.
• All crowd control effects that inhibit attacking also  interrupt attack windups. In terms of crowd control,  unstoppable basic attacks are interrupted by  polymorph only.
•  Spell shield blocks all components of an ability including crowd control, unless otherwise stated.

Airborne

EditA unit is made airborne alongside undergoing a forced displacement in a specified direction or to a specific point. For the duration, the unit is also  stunned and cannot move, attack, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash.

Interrupts:	The accompanying  stun interrupts attack windups ( unstoppable basic attack exception) and all  channeled and charged abilities, as well as Anivia's Glacial Storm. The accompanying displacement interrupts all  dashes and overrides previous airborne effects.
Reduction:	Airborne duration and forced movement's execution time are unaffected by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity and  Unstoppability.
Removal:	The forced movement that comes with airborne effects cannot be removed by cleansing effects. However,  Cleanses can be used to remove the underlying  stun, allowing the user to cast abilities: a  dash or  blink ability can be used to overrule the forced movement. Note that Cleanse and Mikael's Crucible, specifically, cannot be used to do this.

To expand upon the countering of airborne effects, consider that the effects are made up of two components: a movement modifier (called a "move block" by Riot, referring to a chunk of code) and a stun (which is responsible for disabling the actions of attacking and casting). As a general rule, the most recent move block will over-rule any previous move blocks, which is how Alistar's Headbutt and Pulverize combo functions. This rule also extends to all beneficial movement modifiers, such as  dashes and  blinks, which is why Rocket Grab and Rocket Jump will over-rule each other depending on their order of activation. Most beneficial movement modifiers do not prevent the activation of abilities, allowing Tristana to still activate abilities during Rocket Jump but not during Rocket Grab.

• In some instances, the stun duration is longer than the move block (e.g. Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught), but in most cases they are the same duration. There have been cases in the past where the stun duration was shorter, but this usually lead to bug-like interactions and was later "fixed" (e.g. Azir's Emperor's Divide did not apply any stun at all in the initial charge on the ability, which allowed his enemies to use an instant movement ability to supersede the charge's knockback and get over the wall).

Knock Aside

• The target is made  airborne in a direction perpendicular from the source.
• Champions with knock aside: Corki, Draven, Urgot (minions and monsters only), Taliyah, Vi.
• Monsters with knock aside: Rift Herald.

Knockback

• The target is made  airborne in a direction directly away from the point of cast.
• Champions with knockback: Aatrox (champions and large monsters), Anivia, Alistar, Aurelion Sol, Azir, Camille, Fizz, Gnar, Gragas, Graves (minions and monsters only), Hecarim, Janna, Jarvan IV, Jayce, Kled, Lee Sin, Maokai, Ornn, Poppy, Quinn, Rammus, Shyvana, Syndra, Sion (minions and monsters only), Taliyah, Thresh, Tristana, Trundle, Vayne, Vel'Koz,  Vi,  Xin Zhao, Yorick, Zac,  Ziggs.
• Monsters with knockback: Baron Nashor, Dragon, Rift Herald.

Knockup

• The target is made  airborne on the spot.
• Champions with knockup: Aatrox, Alistar, Blitzcrank, Braum, Cho'Gath, Fizz, Galio, Ivern, Janna, Jarvan IV, Kalista, Lee Sin, Lulu, Malphite,  Nami,  Nautilus, Ornn, Poppy, Rakan, Rek'Sai,  Riven, Rhaast, Sion, Sejuani,  Taliyah, Vel'Koz, Vi,  Wukong, Xin Zhao, Yasuo, Zac, Zyra.
• Monsters with knockup: Baron Nashor.

Pull

• The target is made  airborne in a direction toward the point of cast, and in some cases over the point of cast.
• Champions with pull: Aatrox (champions and large monsters), Blitzcrank, Darius, Diana, Kled, Orianna, Mordekaiser, Nautilus, Pyke, Sett, Singed, Sion, Skarner, Syndra (minions and monsters only), Thresh, Urgot, Vi (non-champions only), Volibear.

Blind

EditA unit that is blinded will "Miss" their basic attacks, similar to when attacking a target with dodge or block. Missed attacks will fail to deal damage or apply on-hit effects, with the exception of some empowered basic attacks. Unlike  Disarm, Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks.

Blind causes Graves' shotgun to fire pellets with a random spread, excluding the direction of his target.

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any abilities, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered unless otherwise stated. This does not consume the effects, however, (provided they are consumed on-hit) and they will simply wait until a successful attack lands or their buff times out.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses, with the exception of Mikael's Crucible.

• Champions with blind: Teemo.
• Thornmail's passive deals damage before the attack is reduced by any effect, including blind, meaning it will apply even if the attacker is blinded.
• Blinded enemies will only miss if they attack while blinded;  ranged units still hit if the  projectile fires before the blind.

Cripple

EditA unit that is crippled has reduced  attack speed for the duration.

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any abilities.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity, Master Yi's Highlander, and Sejuani's Fury of the North.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses and specifically Master Yi's Highlander.

• Champions with cripple: Fiora, Malphite, Nasus
• Items with cripple: Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Thornmail, Warden's Mail

Disarm

EditA unit that is disarmed is unable to declare  basic attacks.

Interrupts:	Interrupts basic attack windups with the exception of  unstoppable basic attacks.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses, excluding Mikael's Crucible.

• Champions with disarm: Quinn (non-champions only).
  • Reloading is mechanically similar to being disarmed, which is featured on Graves and Jhin, but is considered a self-lockout.

The following crowd control types combine Disarm with another crowd control type:

•  Entangle combines the effects of  Root and Disarm.
  • Champions with entangle: Amumu.
•  Polymorph combines the effects of  Silence and Disarm.
  • Champions with polymorph: Lulu.

Disrupt

EditWhen a unit is disrupted, it has their  channeled and charged abilities interrupted. Unlike  Silence, the unit can still cast abilities.

Disrupt is not and does not apply a  status effect.

Interrupts:	Interrupts all  channeled and charged abilities with the exception of Lucian's The Culling. It will also interrupt Anivia's Glacial Storm.
Reduction:	The effect is instantaneous. There is nothing to reduce.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	The effect is instantaneous. There is nothing to remove.

• Champions with disrupt: Kassadin, Viktor, Camille.

Forced action

Charm

For the item, see Faerie Charm

EditA unit that is charmed will walk toward the Source (the unit that casted the Charm spell) for the duration, during which time they cannot control their own movement or attacks, and cannot cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash. All charms also apply a  slow, with the strength depending on the spell.

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups ( unstoppable basic attack exception) and all  channeled and charged abilities, as well as Anivia's Glacial Storm. It will also interrupt Rakan's Grand Entrance and Battle Dance, Yasuo's Sweeping Blade and prevent Gnar's Hop from bouncing.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses or when the Source dies.

• Champions with charm: Ahri, Evelynn, Rakan.

Fear / flee

EditA  champion that is fleeing or feared will move directly away from the Source (the unit that casted the Fear spell) for the duration, during which time they cannot control their own movement or attacks, and cannot cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash. All fears also apply a  slow.  Non-champions affected by Fear will instead move around aimlessly.

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups ( unstoppable basic attack exception) and all  channeled and charged abilities. It will also interrupt Sweeping Blade and prevent Hop from bouncing.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses or when the Source dies.

• Champions with flee: Aatrox (non-champions only), Darius (non-champions only), Fiddlesticks, Hecarim, Nocturne, Shaco, Urgot, Volibear (non-champions only), Warwick.
  • Uniquely to Volibear, fear slows the target by 100% which causes it to stay in place instead of away from the Source.

Taunt

EditA unit that is taunted will attempt to perform basic attacks on the Source (the unit that casted the Taunt spell) for the duration, during which time they cannot control their own movement or attacks, and cannot cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash.

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups ( unstoppable basic attack exception) and all  channeled and charged abilities. It will also interrupt Rakan's Grand Entrance and Battle Dance, Yasuo's Sweeping Blade and prevent Gnar's Hop from bouncing. It can also break  stealth.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses or when the Source dies.

• Champions with taunt: Shen, Rammus, Galio.

Ground

EditA unit that is grounded is unable to activate mobility spells, which include all active  dash and  blink abilities, plus a number of additional cases. The effect does not innately  knockdown a target that is already performing a dash or blink.

Ground is the only type of  crowd control that is most commonly found in persistent area of effects, which will reapply the status effect continously.

Interrupts:	Interrupts  channeled and charged mobility spells, namely Stand United, Vault Breaker, Crowstorm, Elastic Slingshot, and Teleport, and will also prevent Hop from bouncing, but does not interrupt Recall.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses with the exception of Mikael's Crucible.

• Champions with ground: Cassiopeia, Poppy, Singed.

Knockdown

EditKnockdown only affects units that are  being displaced or are  performing a dash. When a unit is knocked down, it has its displacement or dash interrupted and is placed on the ground.

Knockdown is not a  status effect and does not apply  the status effect necessary for Yasuo to cast Last Breath.

Interrupts:	Interrupts all  dashes and  airborne effects (displacement and status effects).
Reduction:	The effect is instantaneous. There is nothing to reduce.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity and  Unstoppability.
Removal:	The effect is instantaneous. There is nothing to remove.

• Champions with knockdown: Ahri, Amumu, Jinx, Lissandra, Malzahar, Poppy, Sejuani, Veigar, Viktor.

Nearsight

EditA unit that is nearsighted has their  sight radius reduced and loses their allied and other external vision (i.e. their ability to see what their allies see;  wards and  traps; abilities that grant vision;  unobstructed vision). This means it prevents  unit-targeted effects, such as basic attacking, from being used outside of the unit's reduced sight radius, requiring the unit to have personal vision of their target. The allied portrait icons do not update while nearsighted unless an ally  dies; the health, resource, and ultimate indicators do not change from at the time of being nearsighted initially.  True sight does not infiltrate nearsight. Multiple applications of nearsight debuffs will only consider the one with the greatest sight reduction.

Interrupts:	Interrupts target commands if the nearsighted unit's target is outside of their new vision area and prevents  automated target acquisition.
Reduction:	The duration is not reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses with the exceptions of Cleanse and Mikael's Crucible.

• Champions with nearsight: Graves, Nocturne, Quinn.
  • The following abilities from said champions apply nearsight:
    • Quinn's Blinding Assault reduces sight radius to/by ? units.
    • Nocturne's Paranoia reduces sight radius to/by ? units.
    • Graves' Smoke Screen reduces the sight radius of ? type of units inside the bubble to/by ? units, but grants them vision of the entire smoke bubble.

Silence

EditA unit that is silenced cannot cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash for the duration.

Interrupts:	Interrupts all  channeled and charged abilities, as well as Glacial Storm.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses.

• Champions with silence: Blitzcrank, Cho'Gath, Fiddlesticks, Garen, Malzahar, Soraka.

Sleep

Drowsy

EditA unit that is drowsy is gradually  slowed over the duration, and will fall  asleep thereafter.

Removing drowsy or being  unstoppable or  immune to crowd control at its end will prevent you from falling  asleep. Activating a  spell shield does not.

Interrupts:	Drowsy does not interrupt any actions.
Reduction:	The duration of drowsy cannot be changed.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses.

• Champions with drowsy: Zoe.

EditA unit that is asleep is unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash for the duration, as with  stun. Sleep occurs after the duration of  drowsiness finishes.

Interrupts:	Falling asleep interrupts attack windups ( unstoppable basic attack exception) and all  channeled and charged abilities, as well as Anivia's Glacial Storm.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses.

• Champions with sleep: Zoe.

Slow

EditA unit that is slowed has reduced  movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below  110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.

Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off.

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any abilities.
Reduction:	The duration is reduced by  Tenacity. The strength is reduced by  slow resist, which  stacks multiplicatively.
Resist:	Resisted by  crowd control immunity and  slow immunity.
Removal:	Removed by  Cleanses, Garen's Decisive Strike, Master Yi's Highlander and Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever!.
