Type of Bug: Gameplay bug, Tenacity not affecting slow duration

Description: Blitzcrank Blitzcrank's W - Overdrive will still slow him for 30% for full duration (1.5 seconds) with Mercury's Treads or any other Tenacity item.

Video / Screenshot: https://youtu.be/MiTC_1CU3ZY

Steps to reproduce:

  • Buy Mercury's Treads or Zephyr.

  • Activate W - Overdrive on Blitzcrank.

  • Get slowed at the end of the speed boost.

Expected result: Slowed by 30% for 0.975s seconds.

1.50s * (100% - 35%) = 0.975s

Observed result: Slowed by 30% for full duration (1.5 seconds).

Reproduction rate: 10/10

System specs: AMD Phenom II CPU + Radeon HD 7870XT GPU + 6GB System RAM

I am unaware if this affects other champions or slows.

I think this is because Blitzcrank's slow is a self-CC. Self applied CC ignores Tenacity, therefore the duration will not be reduced.

However, the slow strength can be reduced through Boots of Swiftness and the Swiftness mastery.
