Silences and ability denial

Items that answer this

• Debuff Reducer vitality · T2 · 1,600 Verified

  Flat debuff resistance: every timed negative effect on you — stuns, slows, silences, roots — runs shorter.

  Buy when: The standard early buy when the enemy team chains crowd control; it is also the component for Spellbreaker and Unstoppable.

  Gotcha: Debuff Resist does NOT shorten the stun from a parry

• Dispel Magic vitality · T3 · 3,200 Verified

  Purges every non-ultimate debuff currently on you and, if it removed anything, heals you and grants move speed. It is the main hard cleanse in the game.

  Buy when: Buy when enemy debuffs — slows, silences, anti-heal, disarms, hexes — are what is killing you rather than raw damage.

  Gotcha: Cannot be used while stunned or asleep

• Indomitable vitality · T4 · 6,400 Verified

  The next hard crowd-control effect that hits you is automatically cleansed, and you get a barrier and a big cooldown refund for free. Unlike Unstoppable it needs no reaction.

  Buy when: Buy when enemy CC lands faster than you can react — it is the automatic, no-timing-required anti-lockdown item.

• Unstoppable vitality · T4 · 6,400 Verified

  On activation you suppress your current negative effects and become flatly immune to Stun, Silence, Sleep, Root and Disarm for several seconds. It is the definitive answer to a crowd-control chain.

  Buy when: Buy when enemy lockdown is the reason you lose fights — it lets you walk through a full CC chain and still deal damage.

  Gotcha: Cannot be used while already stunned or asleep — it must be pre-cast

Which of these is worth a slot depends on how many of the six enemies really press this. The tool works that out from the lineup.
