Crowd Control (also called CC) is a term used to refer to negative status effects that influence, limit or prevent the actions of the affected units. Crowd control can be extremely powerful, controlling the possible outcomes of an encounter, as it forces opponents to use a smaller set of abilities/actions. Used properly, crowd control often renders an opponent nearly useless, allowing attack without fear of retaliation. In teamfights, crowd control often makes combat safer, easier, or more viable.

There are two main types of crowd-control effects: "Soft" and "Hard" Crowd Control, depending on whether or not the effect prevents the target from taking some kind of action.

Crowd Control Reduction

There are several means of reducing the effectivity of crowd control effects or even nullifying them entirely. Some god abilities provide a temporary immunity to some or all of them, and there are items that can do this as well. For more information on Crowd Control Reduction, see the Statistic page.

A list with all items that provide Crowd Control Reduction can be found here: List of Crowd Control Reduction items.

Diminishing Returns

Diminishing returns is a mechanic that makes hard crowd control effects less effective when used on a recently affected target. When a target is first hit by a hard crowd control effect, they are affected for the entire duration. If they are hit with another effect within 15 seconds, that effect will only last 66% of its normal duration. Any other effects after that will only last 33% of their original duration. A target can be crowd controlled as normal once 15 seconds has past since they were last affected.

Note: Displacement CC (Grab, Knockup, Knockback, and Pull) always last their normal duration, but they will still contribute to the diminishing returns of future crowd control effects. Banishes do not interact with diminishing returns in any way.
