Removed content
MeleeMelee champions have a basic attack 
range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like 
Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.
RangedRanged champions have a basic attack range usually beyond 300 units. Many deal damage through projectiles, which are subject to mitigating effects like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for ranged characters.
Slow
movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below 110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.
| Interrupts: | Does not interrupt any actions. |
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by  Tenacity.The strength is reduced by |

AirborneA unit that is knocked airborne undergoes a forced displacement in a specified direction, to a specific point, or for a set duration at its current location, during which it is also unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the 
summoner spells 
Flash, 
Teleport, 
Hexflash, and 
Mark / 
Dash.
Airborne is an 
immobilizing effect.
| Interrupts: | Interrupts attack windups (excluding  uncancellable windups), and all  channeled and charged abilities. The accompanying displacement overrides all other previous displacements, including dashes and other airborne effects.
|
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration of airborne and its forced movement execution time is unaffected by Tenacity.
|
| Resist: | Resisted by crowd control immunity,  displacement immunity, and  Dr. Mundo's  Goes Where He Pleases.
|
| Removal: | The forced movement that is applied alongside airborne effects cannot be removed by cleanses, which innately disables attacking and moving and can be overridden by dashing, blinking or  lunging. Cleansing effects, with the exceptions of  Milio's  Breath of Life,  Cleanse,  Mikael's Blessing, and  Quicksilver, remove the airborne status effect.
