So what exactly happens when nami does 100% slow ?

TheOvermind·Jun 11, 2016·7 votes·3,338 views

A 1200 ap nami can make her spells apply a 100% slow. Now I know there is a soft cap to movement speed so that it never goes below a certain point (117 I believe ) from let's say zileans or thresh's 99% slow( the point of those slows is to shut down extremely fast moving targets like a hecarim or a rammus ( a 99% slow will turn a standard 350 ms to 117 as well as hecarims 715 down to 117) but what does a 100% slow do?? Does it reduce the movement speed down to 0 (root) ??? Or the exact same thing the 99% slow does? Anyone know?

100% slows act as a soft snare, this was actually a thing on a Sona PBE build for a while where she needed about 600 AP. It's kind of like a snare that doesn't disable mobility moves.

This is actually very interesting

Same scenario as a Thresh Ult wall: you are brought to the Movement Speed Floor (112) and not allowed to move any slower. Stronger slow, even at 100%, is still categorized as a slow.

Also how the hell would you even reach that level of AP?

Actually there's a unique code for anything equal to or greater than 100%, your MS actually does go to 0.

Well color me surprised...

Well it's all theoretical but I've gotten 1100 ap on velkoz; I'm sure a couple more infernal drakes and some heavy ap runes would do the trick on nami reaching 1200 ap.

Im serious. You get something like 600AP from the seraphs passive, 80 from seraphs, 120 from rabby.

Since you cant buy boots with cass, you get like 800AP pre-rabby and almost 1100 post rabby.

You movement speed gets reduced to 0, there was a video about this on Reddit a while ago.

That's actually a really interesting mechanic I've never thought about. I'd love to see this used on a champion in the future. Maybe a decaying slow, that has the soft root last longer the more they scale with AP?

There was a video of that somewhere. She basically snares with E empowered autos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvpZhXOlU2U

A rioter commented on this on an ekko discussion (where people were suggesting to make his CC scale from his AP as to nerf tank ekko).

He basically said that a 100% slow turns into a root, but IIRC it doesn't stop the target from using mobility skills (a classic root is a 100% slow + Grounded effect - like cassio's new W)

Theres a cap of around 73% on slows. the extra slow percent is just to reduce speed buffs etc... When they reach 100% though it jsut acts as a snare.

You can still dash.

There is a hard cap on how slow you can actually go. The slowest you can possibly go is 110MS.

The equation looks like "X × 0.5 + 110 = Y". X is your resulted MS after the slow and Y is what your MS would actually be.

In the link you provided, you missed this very important statement. Under the "Movement Speed Caps" section it says: "The only exception to this is when the slow exceeds 100%, in which case the target ends up with 0 movement speed."

An example of this in play is a level 3 Nunu ult, with Rylais, channeled for at least 2 seconds. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Nunu So at 2 seconds of channel, a max level Nunu ult will slow for 85%, plus 20% of that from the Rylais, which equals 102% slow. The calculation works out like: .85 (ult slow) x .20 (Rylais slow) = .17 (this is the total amount Rylais will add to the ult slow) + .85 (ult) = 1.02 aka 102% slow.

From 2 seconds to a full 3 second channel, this ult will reduce a champion with NO SLOW RESISTANCE OR TENACITY to an MS of 0. With so many combinations and items, its no wonder Nami and Sona are able to do the same thing.

First, don't necro threads. Second, you're just plain wrong on multiple accounts.

Slows no longer stack. And even if they did, it wouldn't be 102%, as slows stacked multiplicatively, not in whatever weird way you were trying to do.
