Original
30.09.2009
Nasus is an imposing, jackal-headed Ascended being from ancient Shurima, a heroic figure regarded as a demigod by the people of the desert. Fiercely intelligent, he was a guardian of knowledge and peerless strategist whose wisdom guided the ancient empire of Shurima to greatness for many centuries. After the fall of the empire, he went into self-imposed exile, becoming little more than a legend. Now that the ancient city of Shurima has risen once more, he has returned, determined to ensure it never falls again.

League of Legends content
Attack windup
The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content
Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content
Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content
Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content
Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content
Selection height
A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content
Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

  • Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
  • Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content
Top

Within a drafted team, the Top Laner is the champion assigned to the top lane.

Juggernauts, Divers, Battlemages, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Top Lane position.

League of Legends content
Juggernaut
Fighters are durable and damage-focused melee champions that look to be in the thick of combat.

Juggernauts are melee titans who relentlessly march down the opposition and devastate those foolish enough to get within their grasp. They are the only subclass who excel at both dealing and taking significant amounts of damage, but in turn they have a tough time closing in on targets due to their low range and extremely limited mobility.

Examples
League of Legends content
Fighter (Legacy)
Fighters are durable and damage-focused melee champions that look to be in the thick of combat.
League of Legends content
Tank (Legacy)

Tanks excel in shrugging off incoming damage and focus on disrupting their enemies more than being significant damage threats themselves.

League of Legends content
Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content
Melee

Melee 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 An icon for Yasuo's ability Wind Wall Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

League of Legends content
Champion

Champions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.

League of Legends content
Minion

Minions are autonomous units that spawn periodically from their nexus and advance along the lanes toward the enemy nexus. They basic attack any enemy unit or structure they find in their way, but can be killed for An icon representing Gold gold.
There are four kind of minions: An icon representing Melee minion melee minions, An icon representing Caster minion caster minions, An icon representing Siege minion siege minions and An icon representing Super minion super minions.

League of Legends content
Monster

Monsters are neutral units in League of Legends. Unlike minions, monsters do not fight for either team, and will only do so if provoked (with the exception of the An icon representing Rift Scuttler Rift Scuttler, which simply runs away when attacked).

League of Legends content
Uncancellable windup
Some effects cause a basic attack to have an uncancellable windup. Unlike normal basic attacks and similar to the cast time of a spell, the windup of these attacks cannot be interrupted by neither the user themselves nor any status effect, other than death, polymorph and An icon representing Quinn Quinn's An icon for Quinn's ability Vault Vault, and sometimes untargetability and range.

Any effect that would disrupt an attack's windup, aside from the ones noted above, are ignored by basic attacks with uncancellable windups. If the attack doesn't lock out other abilities, they may be used normally, and the basic attack will hit during the ability cast.

Centered range

  • Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
  • It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.
League of Legends content
Slow
A unit that is slowed has reduced  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 slow resist.

Resist: Resisted by crowd control immunity and slow immunity.
Removal: Removed by Cleanses, An icon representing Garen Garen's An icon for Garen's ability Decisive Strike Decisive Strike, An icon representing Master Yi Master Yi's An icon for Master Yi's ability Highlander Highlander and An icon representing Nunu Nunu's An icon for Nunu's ability Biggest Snowball Ever!

Cripple
A unit that is crippled has their total  attack speed reduced by a percentage for the duration.

Sources of cripple stack multiplicatively with each other.

Interrupts: Does not interrupt any actions.
Reduction: The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist: Resisted by crowd control immunity and cripple immunity.
Removal: Removed by Cleanses and specifically An icon representing Master Yi Master Yi's An icon for Master Yi's ability Highlander Highlander.

  • Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.
    • The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.

League of Legends content
Tenacity
Tenacity (or Crowd Control Reduction) is a stat that reduces the duration of all incoming crowd control effects except displacements, drowsy, nearsight, stasis, and suppression. If tenacity is reduced below 0, the crowd control duration increases.

  • Tenacity stacks multiplicatively or additively based on the combination of effects.
  • The duration of a crowd control debuff is calculated when it is applied, and tenacity can reduce it to a minimum 0.5 seconds.

Untargetable
A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content
Death
Death occurs when a unit's  health is reduced to zero, thereby being killed. The unit can no longer act and is removed or becomes a corpse.

League of Legends content
Sight
Sight is a property of units, structures, certain summoner spells, items, and abilities that represents a team possessing vision of a target area or unit. It is always center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.

Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or brush, allowing them to be targeted. Standard sight cannot see stealthed units, but True Sight can.

  • Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
  • Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
  • Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.
  • All effects that use unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.
