Disables
In addition to normal damage from Champion’s attacks and abilities, various Disables can be inflicted on units to get the upper hand in battle. It’s best to use abilities with these status conditions on a group of enemies for the perfect crowd control. Some abilities can disable all units within its area of effect.
The table below categorizes what happens to Champions who are suffering from a specific condition. For instance, a Champion who is Airborne will not be able to move, will not be able to attack, will not be able to use abilities, and will not able able to use spells. Blinded Champions will miss all their basic attacks; but their abilities, spells, and movement will still be allowed.

Vision and Stealth
Some Champions can use powerful attacks but might not have the best defense to withstand a frontal assault, that’s where stealth comes in. All Champions have a set vision range they can see enemies. Anything further will be lost in the fog of war, and might not even appear on the mini map.
Additionally, if you hide within tall grass or bushes, you won’t appear on the enemy’s mini map or directly on their screen.
The way to counter stealthy champions is to use special items called Wards. Basic Wards are free in the item shop, but Wards that have other abilities require some gold. Set these items in bushes or down a path you might want to catch an enemy Champion coming from. Some Champions also have special abilities that allow them to hide in plain sight or see hidden enemies!
