Stat Impact

What Slowing Hex actually gives you

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.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Slowing Hex

Slowing Hex performs strongest on Haze (53.5% WR across 306,894 games), Dynamo (52.6% WR across 45,669 games), and Ivy (52.2% WR across 124,507 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.

Most Picked By

Who buys Slowing Hex the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Slowing Hex shows up most on The Doorman (324,765 games), Haze (306,894 games), and Paradox (159,237 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.

Build Context

Slowing Hex build path

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.

Rank Performance

Slowing Hex across the rank ladder
