Reload Time is the time it takes for a hero to reload their weapons ammo count. There are items that can circumvent Reload time by reloading the weapon instantly or adding an Active Reload mini-game to heroes weapon allowing it to be reloaded faster than normal. For most heroes, this is the time to reload an entire magazine. For some, it is the time to reload a single round of a multi-round revolver or clip.

Reload Speed is a derived measurement, that represents how quickly it takes to reload.
