Data-driven analysis
Slowing Hex delivers 0.5mm sprint speed, 25mm cast range, and 3.5s 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.
Slowing Hex performs strongest on Graves (53.3% WR across 13,177 games), Haze (52.8% WR across 342,816 games), and Ivy (52.8% WR across 97,371 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.
In terms of raw pickup volume, Slowing Hex shows up most on Haze (342,816 games), Paradox (182,912 games), and The Doorman (151,787 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
Slowing Hex is a base tier purchase with no prerequisites, so you can buy it directly from the shop without stacking components first. Slowing Hex upgrades into Vortex Web, so picking it early sets up a direct path into a late game power spike instead of locking in a dead end purchase.
Slowing Hex sits at a 49.5% 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 Hex performs roughly the same across every ranked bracket, so the build advice on this page holds from Initiate all the way up to Eternus.
