Crowd control (CC) in League of Legends refers to abilities that limit an enemy unit's control over their champion. These effects can restrict movement, attacks, ability usage, or combinations thereof.

Key Types of Crowd Control:

• Immobilizing Effects:

  • Airborne (knockups, knockbacks, pulls)
  • Root
  • Stun
  • Suppression
  • Sleep

• Movement Impairment:

  • Slow
  • Ground
  • Forced Action (charm, taunt, flee)

• Action Impairment:

  • Silence
  • Disarm
  • Blind
  • Polymorph
  • Nearsight

Important Notes:

• Most CC can be reduced by Tenacity
• Some CC types (airborne, suppression) cannot be reduced
• CC can be cleansed by certain abilities and items
• Self/ally CC works differently than enemy CC
• CC effects stack multiplicatively with multiple sources

Countering CC:

1. Immunity abilities (e.g., Olaf's Ragnarok)
2. Cleansing effects (e.g., Quicksilver Sash)
3. Tenacity items/runes
4. Spell shields
5. Displacement immunity

CC is a crucial mechanic in League of Legends, used for:

• Initiating fights
• Peeling for allies
• Setting up kills
• Controlling objectives
• Disrupting enemy plays

Understanding and managing crowd control is essential for success in League of Legends, whether applying it to enemies or defending against it.
