Cheat Sheet
- CC Categories and Removal Mechanics -
Riot's official gameplay articles distinguish hard CC (e.g. stuns, roots) from soft CC (slows, blinds). Active removal items completely purge all hard CC effects, while Tenacity-only items and effects merely shorten durations by a percentage. Think "hard vs soft" and "purge vs reduce" to solidify this concept (Riot Games Developer Guide).
- Active CC Removal Items -
League's primary CC breaker actives include Quicksilver Sash (QSS), its upgrade Mercurial Scimitar, and Mikael's Crucible (supports-only). QSS and Scimitar cleanse every applied debuff instantly (3500 g total cost), and Mikael's Crucible also heals 70 HP and grants 40% Movement Speed. Check the Riot Games item database for exact stats and upgrade paths.
- Tenacity Versus Active Removal -
Tenacity reduces the duration of CC by a flat percentage (e.g. 40% tenacity turns a 2 s stun into 1.2 s), whereas active cleansers remove CC entirely. Formula: Effective Duration = Base Duration × (1 - Tenacity %). Mercury's Treads provide +45 MR and 30% Tenacity, ideal for consistent CC reduction but unable to free from current effects (Official League Wiki).
- Mnemonic for Item Recall -
Use the phrase "Quick Mercy Makes Clears" to remember Quicksilver Sash, Mercurial Scimitar, Mikael's Crucible - and Cleansing Potion for summoner synergy. First letters Q, M, M, C make it easier to list every CC breaker under pressure. Pair it with flashcard drills using the Riot item database screenshots for maximum retention.
- Situational Purchase and Cooldown Management -
Deciding when to buy a CC removal item depends on enemy composition strength and your build path; calculate cooldowns using CDR formulas (Cooldown = Base CD × (1 - CDR %)). For example, Mercurial Scimitar's 90 s base CD becomes 63 s at 30% CDR. Plug numbers into online CDR calculators (sourced from Riot's API documentation) to plan midgame spikes effectively.
