Data-driven analysis
Slowing Bullets delivers -22% dash distance, 3.5s slow duration, and 0.7% buildup per shot. 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.
Slowing Bullets is a base tier purchase with no prerequisites, so you can buy it directly from the shop without stacking components first. Slowing Bullets upgrades into Weighted Shots, so picking it early sets up a direct path into a late game power spike instead of locking in a dead end purchase.
Slowing Bullets sits at a 50.0% win rate and has barely moved over the last few weeks, which means the item is at its steady state pick rate in the current patch.
Slowing Bullets performs roughly the same across every ranked bracket, so the build advice on this page holds from Initiate all the way up to Eternus.
