Slow (verb slowed), slowdown or slow effect is a state where it reduces the target's Movement Speed by percentage within a time duration.
Despite being a debuff by definition (a special state that can decrease heroes' power), slow is a type crowd control effect, as the effect can be reduced by resilience or ignored by control and slowing immunity.
It is the most common CC effect, with 90 out of first 100 heroes released on the original server have at least a slow effect on their abilities.
