Move SpeedGive feedback

Move Speed is a stat that heroes start with and can obtain more through items. Move speed dictates how many meters per second the hero will move.

See also: Movement Slow

Overview

Heroes will accelerate up to base movement speed velocity from a standstill. Move Speed bonuses from items and abilities stack diminishingly, meaning adding more speed provides progressively less value.

While firing, a hero's movement speed is reduced to 75% of its normal value (a 25% slow), which can be mitigated by Fleetfoot. There is no penalty while zooming in. While crouched, all heroes have 4.8 m/s crouch speed not affected by the movement speed penalty, except for Grey Talon and Warden, whose movement speed penalty while firing applies while crouched, becoming 4.4 m/s.

Grey Talon's move speed scales with Spirit Power at x0.0084, Seven's scales at , and Sinclair and Vyper's scale at x0.0138.

Move Speed is an important stat in overall movement, as it affects how quickly one can reach their destination.

Sprint Speed

Sprint Speed is a related stat that is conditionally added to a hero's move speed when a hero is out of combat for five seconds, and persists until entering combat or zooming in. Zooming in while sprinting resets the player's speed back to base move speed.

If the hero has more than 2.5m/s Sprint Speed, the rest of the sprint speed will be added to the hero's movement at a rate of 0.6m/s as the player moves. While capped at the hero's Sprint Speed stat, sprinting will continue building up past its current max value, meaning bonuses applied while sprinting (e.g. Healing Rite) will instantly increase current Move Speed. Sliding, taking damage, getting Stunned, Immobilized, Displaced or Slept, using a Zipline, or stopping movement input will reset this counter.

Wraith's sprint scales with Spirit Power at x0.05.

Slide

Heroes moving above 8.9 m/s can slide on a flat horizontal surface by crouching.

Calculation

Calculating Move Speed

While items often display movement speed bonuses as flat values (e.g., +2 m/s), multiple sources of move speed do not simply add together. Instead, they stack multiplicatively using a similar formula to resistance, meaning each additional source provides diminishing returns.

To find your effective move speed bonus, use the following formula:

$\text{Effective Move Bonus}=11\times (1-(1-\frac{B_1}{11})\times (1-\frac{B_2}{11})\dots )$

Where B₁, B₂, etc. are individual move speed bonuses.

Then calculate your total speed:

$\text{Total Speed}=\text{Base Move Speed}+\text{Effective Move Bonus}+\text{Base Sprint Speed}+{\text{Sprint Bonus}}_1+{\text{Sprint Bonus}}_2\dots$

Example: If you have two sources of move speed, one providing +2 m/s and another providing +3 m/s:

1. Divide each bonus by 11: ≈0.182 and ≈0.273.
2. Subtract from 1: (1 - 0.182) = 0.818 and (1 - 0.273) = 0.727.
3. Multiply the remainders: 0.818 × 0.727 = 0.595.
4. Subtract from 1: 1 - 0.595 = 0.405.
5. Multiply by 11: 0.405 × 11 = 4.46 m/s (or 4.5 m/s rounded).
6. Your Effective Move Bonus is 4.5 m/s (not 5 m/s).

If your hero has 6.5 base move speed, 1.6 base sprint speed, and no sprint bonuses: $6.5+4.5+1.6=\mathrm{𝟏𝟐.𝟔}\text{ m/s}$

Sprint Speed Stacking

Unlike move speed, sprint speed stacks additively with no diminishing returns. If you have base 1.6 sprint speed and get items with +2 and +5 sprint speed, you simply have 8.6 sprint speed.

$\text{Total Sprint}=\text{Base Sprint}+{\text{Bonus}}_1+{\text{Bonus}}_2\dots$

Combined Example

A hero with:

• 6.4 base move speed
• 1.6 base sprint speed
• +2 and +3 move speed bonuses
• +2 and +1.5 sprint speed bonuses

Step 1: Calculate Move Speed $11\times (1-(1-\frac{2}{11})\times (1-\frac{3}{11}))=4.5\text{ m/s effective}$ $6.4+4.5=\mathrm{𝟏𝟎.𝟗}\text{ m/s}$

Step 2: Calculate Sprint Speed $1.6+2+1.5=\mathrm{𝟓.𝟏}\text{ m/s}$

Step 3: Add Together $10.9+5.1=\mathrm{𝟏𝟔.𝟎}\text{ m/s}$
