What if slows reduced blink/dash distance??

OK seriously

We have an issue with a little too much mobility

dashes overcome slows but they also have infinite more use, meanwhile slows are becoming less useful overall

so i'm simply putting it forward that a slow should affect a dash

the dash would still be useful but it wouldn't be as game breaking

it would bring champions like back into the meta and provide other top laners with the means to deal with champs like , it would also give mid laners the means to handle

it would give people a way to mess with who otherwise actually have zero chance of winning a 1v1 against them,

This would be good because in order to do it you would have to be willing to counter build , and you would still have to actually fight them.

let me know what you think?

Yes let's just destroy 80% of melee champions because Fiora / Riven and Irelia are problematic, good thinking

That would also make it so graves can't permakite you

80% of melee champions don't have dashes or blinks.

Those items are just for some champions, we wouldn't want a Caitlyn to get frozen mallet to counter a vayne, also confused how slows would affect blink.

What if blinds were on every champ?

dash reduction isn't a blind

It is an effective removal of major part of a champ's kit so in essence it does a similar thing.

As good as it seems on paper, it's a very very bad idea. Have you seen Nasus' slow? Even with a dash/blink, he's right back on-top of you before the slow even ends, there's no reason to make that even worse.

Not to mention Irelia or Fiora as being a problem STILL. For one, Irelia's dash is a point-and-click dash to a minion or champion, so having it canceled because you slowed them would be a little problematic and would either cause Riot to make it so it can't be canceled at all, nerf items/spells that would 'cancel' it, or buffing Irelia in other places to make up for being ruined by one item/spell.

And then Fiora can literally just screw you over by pressing w. Oh, you slowed her? Okay, let her just slow you as well so any dashes/blinks you have just got screwed as well.

I like the idea. Dashes yes, blinks no.

A dash makes sense since it's basically enhanced movement. A blink is a teleport, so it wouldn't really be affected by your movement speed.

It's be interesting if slows would also reduce the length of dashes, not just the speed. It wouldn't be a 1:1 ratio, maybe half as effective (e.g., a 20% slow would reduce the length of dashes by 10%), but it would add more counterplay to mobility.

It would also make Exhaust relevant again.

It would entirely fuck Irelia. Her entire kit revolves around her Q.

Or champs like Galio with already slow dashes.
