Ability Velocity
Ability Velocity is a stat that decreases the time it takes for certain abilities to land — applying to both projectile and non-projectile abilities. It affects two main aspects: Projectile Speed and Activation Time.1. Projectile Speed
Abilities that travel a certain distance are affected by this stat, causing them to move faster.
This makes projectiles easier to land and harder for enemies to dodge. For example Greytalon's Charged Shot (1).
2. Activation Time
Abilities with a cast or activation delay will activate faster based on Ability Velocity.
For example, Paige’s Captivating Read (3) normally takes about 1 second for the sword to land and hit enemies. With 25% Ability Velocity, this time is reduced to 0.75 seconds.
This effect also applies to abilities such as Yamato’s and Calico’s ultimates, as well as Lady Geist’s Life Drain (2) and Infernus’s Afterburn (3).
3. Damage and Healing Over Time Effects
For abilities that damage or heal over time, Ability Velocity increases the rate of effect application without changing the total amount of damage or healing.
For instance, Infernus’s Afterburn deals 100 total damage over 5 seconds (20 DPS). With 25% Ability Velocity, it would deal the same 100 damage over 3.75 seconds (26.6 DPS).
This also applies to abilities such as McGinnis’s Medicinal Specter (2) and Mina's Nox Nostra (4).
