Cooldown Reduction (abbreviated as CDR) is a champion statistic that reduces the cooldown of abilities, or the amount of time before an ability can be used again after activation, by a percentage. There are some items that separately reduce the cooldown for summoner spells or item active abilities, but do not grant cooldown reduction.
Cooldown reduction can be granted by items, , runes, and masteries. CDR stacks additively and is capped at 40%, which can be increased to 45% with the mastery.
Cooldown reduction is determined at the moment an ability is activated. Increasing/decreasing cooldown reduction while the skill is on cooldown will not affect the cooldown.
Cooldown reduction does not apply to:
- Static cooldowns
- Item active abilities (e.g. )
- Item passive effects with cooldowns (e.g. )
- Summoner spells. provides a separate cooldown reduction for spells.
Although not a basic item, is the item from which the cooldown reduction gold value of 24.75 per % cooldown reduction is derived.

Champion Abilities
Some champions have abilities that decrease their cooldowns by a flat amount, either their base cooldown or current cooldown, or entirely refresh their cooldown.
