What Crippling Headshot actually gives you

Crippling Headshot delivers 125 bonus health and 12s debuff duration. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Crippling Headshot performs strongest on Dynamo (64.2% WR across 21,211 games), Haze (64.2% WR across 77,356 games), and Vyper (64.0% WR across 21,770 games).
