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 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's win rate has slipped by about 0.6 percentage points over the last few weeks, now sitting at 49.4%. Something in the meta is punishing this item right now, worth reviewing the matchups before forcing it into your next build.
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.
