Can Darius's W attack speed slow no longer be reduced by tenacity?

This seems to be a left over from the days when tenacity reduced the dual effects of slow moves. Sion's E armor shred is not reduced by tenacity, for example, despite being on a slowing move.

This would be a targeted buff to exactly where Darius needs it: Peeling in team fights for his team.

I would rather they just straight up remove the AS slow since it makes him able to destroy many Melees without even trying

What??

Tenacity affects the duration of a CC, not the actual effectiveness of the CC.

Unless it works differently for slows?

Oh, so you are talking about the tiny-duration-aura effect...

yeah, that makes sense then. Same with Singed slow and other AoE slow effect right

Attack speed slows are considered 'Slows' by the game's coding right now. So if you get a Frozen Heart anywhere near Yi you'll see CANNOTBESLOWED spammed over him. Since IAS slows are considered the same class of effect as MS slows they get booped by Tenacity.

Also means Frozen Heart amps Torment damage.

As much as I want Darius to be buffed, Riot won't do it because he's melee and they don't want him to be oppressive vs other melees when ranged cancer top is worse than Darius ever was.
