'''Cooldown Reduction''' is a [[Stats|stat]] obtainable by [[Heroes]] though [[items]]. This stat is currently a percentage based reduction on the base [[ability]] time.
The '''Ability Cooldown''' of an ability is a period of time after being used that the ability cannot be used again. Cooldowns range from a few seconds, as in [[Lady Geist|Lady Geist's]] Malice, to a few minutes, as [[Dynamo|Dynamo's]] Singularity. Ability cooldowns can be reduced by acquiring the Cooldown Reduction stat, which reduces the cooldown by a percentage of base [[ability]] time.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Ability Cooldown of an ability is a period of time after being used that the ability cannot be used again. Cooldowns range from a few seconds, as in Lady Geist's Malice, to a few minutes, as Dynamo's Singularity. Ability cooldowns can be reduced by acquiring the Cooldown Reduction stat, which reduces the cooldown by a percentage of base ability time.

Charged Abilities[edit | edit source]

Some abilities can acquire multiple charges. In those cases, the ability cooldown represents the time for a charge to become available again after being used. This should not be confused with the time between charges, which describes the delay after using a charge that a different charge can be used.

Stacking[edit | edit source]

Despite being presented in-game as +X% Cooldown Reduction, different sources of cooldown reduction stack multiplicatively, not additively. With different sources of cooldown reduction, total cooldown reduction is given by:

For example, with 12% Cooldown Reduction from Diviner's Kevlar and 16% Cooldown Reduction from Improved Cooldown, total cooldown reduction is:
