'''Crowd Control (CC)''' refers to [[Status Effects|effects]] that alter an opponent's capability to function, including their movement, ability use, weapon firing, and many others. Some CC effects have reduced duration when applied shortly after other CC effects; see [[#Diminishing Returns|Diminishing Returns]].
=Overview=
Crowd Control (CC) refers to effects that alter a target's capability to function, including their movement, ability use, weapon firing, and many others.


They can be applied both by [[Heroes|Hero]] abilities and [[Items]] from the [[Shop]].
They can be applied by [[Heroes|Hero]]'s abilities, or [[Items]] from the [[Shop]].


==Types of Crowd Control==
Crowd Controls can be paired together to no end such that their effects overlap, such as the [[Curse]] [[Items|Item]] which applies nearly all negative CC's at once.


===Movement Slow===
=Crowd Controls=
Reduces the target's movement speed by a percentage.


For example, a 30% slow reduces a 10 meters / second movement speed to 7 m/s.  
==Slow==
Reduces the target's movement speed or fire rate.


Movement Slow cannot reduce a target's speed below 2 meters / second.
For example, a 30% slow reduces a 10 meters / second movement speed to 7 m/s.


===Stun===
==Stun==
Prevents the target from shooting, using abilities, using items, and moving. Stun also causes the target to be [[Crowd Control#Interrupt|Interrupted]].
Prevents the target from shooting, using abilities, and moving themselves. Upon stunning the target, they are also [[Crowd Control#Interrupt|Interrupted]].


Examples include {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}' {{AbilityIcon|Concussive Combustion}}, {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}}, and {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Singularity}}.
Examples of stun include Infernus' [[Infernus#(4)_Concussive_Combustion|Concussive Combustion]], Ivy's [[Ivy#(3)_Stone_Form|Stone Form]], and Dynamo's [[Dynamo#(4)_Singularity|Singularity]].


===Sleep===
==Sleep==
Similar to [[Crowd Control#Stun|Stun]], it prevents the target from shooting and using abilities. However, unlike Stun, it '''does not''' prevent movement; instead, it slows the target to 2m/s.  
Similar to [[Crowd Control#Stuns|Stun]], it prevents the target from shooting, using abilities, and moving themselves. However, it does not [[Crowd Control#Interrupt|Interrupt]]. Receiving any damage wakes the target instantly.


Sleep does not [[Crowd Control#Interrupt|Interrupt]] channels. Receiving any damage wakes the target instantly.
Examples of Sleeps include Haze's Sleep Dagger.


Sources of Sleep include abilities such as {{HeroIcon|Haze}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sleep Dagger}} and {{HeroIcon|Rem}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Naptime}}.
==Root==
Prevents the target from jumping or moving themselves, but can still be moved by others. Additionally, it prevents the use of movement related abilities, such as Vindicta's [[Vindicta#(2)_Flight|Flight]]. Lastly, it removes all upwards acceleration, making them fall to the ground.


===Immobilize===
Examples of Roots include Warden's Binding Word and Grey Talon's Immobilizing Trap.
Reduces all speed to 0 and stops all voluntary movement, though the target can still be displaced by others. Additionally, it prevents the use of movement related abilities. It removes all upwards acceleration, making airborne targets fall to the ground.


Examples include {{HeroIcon|Warden}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Binding Word}}, {{HeroIcon|Paige}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Captivating Read}}, and {{ItemIcon|Arctic Blast}}.
==Silence==
 
===Silence===
Prevents the target from activating abilities, though they can still use [[Items|Item]] actives.
Prevents the target from activating abilities, though they can still use [[Items|Item]] actives.


A common cause of confusion is that {{Silenced|Silence}} does not [[Crowd_Control#Interrupt|Interrupt]], meaning abilities that have started will always continue through Silence, such as {{HeroIcon|Seven}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Storm Cloud}}.
A common cause of confusion is that Silence does not [[Crowd_Control#Interrupt|Interrupt]], meaning abilities that have started will always continue through Silence, such as Seven's [[Seven#Abilities|Storm Cloud]].


Examples include {{ItemIcon|Silence Wave}}, {{ItemIcon|Silencer}}, {{ItemIcon|Focus Lens}}, and more.
==Item Silence==
 
===Item Silence===
Prevents the target from using [[Items|Item]] actives, though they can still use abilities.
Prevents the target from using [[Items|Item]] actives, though they can still use abilities.


Examples include {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}} (disables all items) and {{ItemIcon|Slowing Hex}} (disables movement items).
Examples include the [[Curse]] [[Items|Item]].


===Disarm===
==Disarm==
Prevents the target from firing their main weapon but melee attacks can still be used. Note that abilities that use weapon-damage can still be used while {{Disarmed|Disarmed}}, such as {{HeroIcon|Haze}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Bullet Dance}}.
Prevents the target from firing their main weapon. Note that abilities that use weapon-damage can still be used while Disarmed, such as Haze's Bullet Dance.


Examples include {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sand Blast}} and {{ItemIcon|Disarming Hex}}.
Examples of Disarm include Mo & Krill's [[Mo_%26_Krill#(3)_Sand_Blast|Sand Blast]] and Bebop's [[Bebop#(2)_Sticky_Bomb|Sticky Bomb]].


===Interrupt===
==Interrupt==
Interrupts instantly cancels all ability casts and channels. It alone does not prevent further use of abilities. When targets are [[Crowd Control#Stun|Stunned]] they are also Interrupted.  
Interrupts instantly cancel all ability casts and channels. It alone does not prevent further use of abilities. When targets are [[Crowd Control#Stun|Stunned]] they are also Interrupted.  


Examples of Interrupt (other than Stun) include the {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}} and {{ItemIcon|Knockdown}} [[Items]] and {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Spirit Snare}}.
Examples of Interrupt (other than Stun) include the [[Curse]] and [[Knockdown]] [[Items]].


===Displace===
==Displace==
Exerts some force on the target that modifies their acceleration or velocity, moving or knocking them around.
Exerts some force on the target that modifies their acceleration or velocity, moving or knocking them around.


Examples include {{HeroIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Ground Strike}}, {{HeroIcon|Bebop}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Exploding Uppercut}} and {{AbilityIcon|Grapple Arm}}, {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Stake}}, the {{ItemIcon|Rescue Beam}} and {{ItemIcon|Knockdown}} [[Items]], and more.
Examples include Lash's [[Lash#(1)_Ground_Strike|Ground Strike]], Bebop's [[Bebop#(2)_Exploding_Uppercut|Exploding Uppercut]] and [[Bebop#(3)_Hook|Hook]], Vindicta's [[Vindicta#(1)_Stake|Stake]], the [[Rescue Beam]] and [[Knockdown]] [[Items]], and more.
 
===Time Stop===
The target acts as if time is frozen or slowed, slowing their movement, animations, casts, channels.
 
The effects of time stopped abilities can still function. For example, if {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} is time stopped during his {{AbilityIcon|Singularity}} channel, it still pulls and stuns enemies. Note that this technically lengthens the duration of the {{AbilityIcon|Singularity}}.
 
Examples include {{HeroIcon|Apollo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Itani Lo Sahn}}, {{HeroIcon|Paradox}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}}, and {{HeroIcon|The Doorman}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Hotel Guest}}.
 
===Hex===
The target is transformed into a rabbit.


The target gains a smaller model and hitbox and moves faster, but will take increased damage. Hexed targets cannot use their weapon, melee, abilities, or items. Abilities and heavy melee attacks will not be interrupted when hexed.
==Time Stop==
The target acts as if time is frozen, pausing their movement, animations, casts, channels, (and even voice lines? need confirmation).  


The only source of Hex is {{HeroIcon|Sinclair}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Rabbit Hex}}.
The effects of time stopped abilities can still function. For example, if Dynamo is time stopped during his Singularity channel, it still pulls and stuns enemies. Note that this technically lengthens the duration of the singularity.


==Crowd Control Reductions and Immunities==
=Crowd Control Reductions and Immunities=
Mechanics and effects that reduce the duration or intensity of crowd control, either partially or completely.
Effects that reduce the intensity of crowd control, either partially or completely.


===Diminishing Returns===
==Slow Resistance==
Only some CCs are subject to this reduction: [[#Stun|Stun]], [[#Sleep|Sleep]], [[#Immobilize|Immobilize]], Chain (tether), and [[#Silence|Silence]], the same set of debuffs that triggers {{ItemIcon|Reactive Barrier}}. Applying one of these to an enemy affected by another of them within the last 9 seconds reduces its duration. The reduction starts at 15% and scales to 35% with the number of recent CCs. The maintained list of sources is at [[Reactive Barrier#Barrier Triggers|Reactive Barrier's Triggers list]].
 
Abilities that apply multiple CCs as part of one action count as one CC (e.g. {{HeroIcon|Abrams}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shoulder Charge}} grab + stun, {{HeroIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Death Slam}} grab + stun).
 
===Slow Resistance===
Reduce the effectiveness of slows.
Reduce the effectiveness of slows.


<math>\mathit{Modified Speed} = \mathit{Base Speed} * (1 - \mathit{Slow} * (1 - \mathit{Slow Resistance}))</math>
<math>\mathit{Modified Speed} = \mathit{Base Speed} * (1 - \mathit{Slow} * (1 - \mathit{Slow Resistance}))</math>


For example, {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}' {{AbilityIcon|Flame Dash}} normally moves at 12 meters per second, but with a 30% slow and its innate 50% slow resistance it is slowed down by 15% to 10.2m/s.
For example, Infernus' [[Infernus#(2)_Flame_Dash|Flame Dash]] normally moves at 12 meters per second, but with a 30% slow and its innate 50% slow resistance it is slowed down by 15% to 10.2m/s.


===Invincibility===
==Ethereal==
Become unable to be hit or targeted. All projectiles and area effects phase through while you also can not be targeted by [[Items]] such as {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}} or [[Abilities]] such as {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Combo}}.
Become unable to be hit or targeted. All projectiles and area effects phase through while you also can not be targeted such as by the [[Curse]] [[Items]].


Examples include {{ItemIcon|Ethereal Shift}} and {{HeroIcon|Calico}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Return to Shadows}} and the transformation phase of {{HeroIcon|Yamato}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shadow Transformation}}.
Examples include [[Ethereal Shift]] and the transformation phase of [[Yamato]]'s Shadow Transformation.


While {{HeroIcon|Yamato}} cannot move during the transformation phase, both {{ItemIcon|Ethereal Shift}} and {{AbilityIcon|Return to Shadows}} allow limited [[movement]].
Currently all Ethereal effects render the activating hero immobile; it is not confirmed if this is part of the etheral effect or another spereate effect.


===Purge===
==Purge==
Instantly remove all debuffs.  
Instantly remove all debuffs.  


Some debuffs delay the crucial negative effect, such as {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}}. Therefore, if the mark is applied, then the target purges their debuffs, the mark never detonates.
Some debuffs delay the crucial negative effect, such as Bebop's [[Bebop#(2)_Sticky_Bomb|Sticky Bomb]]. Therefore, if the bomb is attached, then the target purges their debuffs, the bomb never explodes.
 
Examples include Viscous' [[Viscous#(2)_The_Cube|The Cube]], [[Debuff Remover]], and [[Rescue Beam]] [[Items]].
 
==Immovable==
Immune to displacements, such as [[Viscous]]'s Puddle Punch.


Examples include {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|The Cube}} (Tier 3), {{HeroIcon|Yamato}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shadow Transformation}}, and {{ItemIcon|Dispel Magic}}.
Examples of Immovable include the [[Unstoppable]] [[Items|Item]]. <br>


===Unstoppable===
Note that Immovable is not displayed in game texts anywhere, and is therefore a hidden mechanic.
Become immune to all forms of crowd control.


For example the {{ItemIcon|Unstoppable}} [[Items|Item]], {{HeroIcon|Abrams}}' {{AbilityIcon|Seismic Impact}} (Tier 3), and {{HeroIcon|Yamato}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shadow Transformation}}.
=Other=
Other effects commonly confused with Crowd Control effects include:
* [[Invincibility]] - Cannot receive damage, but can still receive effects and be targeted
* [[Unkillable]] - Unable to die, but can still receive damage, effects, and be targeted
