'''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. Applying a CC effect to an enemy is reduced in duration when affected by other CC effects within the last 9 seconds. This duration reduction starts at 15% and scales to 35%.

Some CC effects have reduced duration when applied shortly after other CC effects; see [[#Diminishing Returns|Diminishing Returns]].


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

Similar to [[Crowd Control#Stuns|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.

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}}.

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.

===Diminishing Returns===
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).
