Slowing hex is too inconcistent.

Slowing hex is incredibly inconsistent, mostly when it comes to Calico.

Currently the description claims that it 'Silences [heroes] movement-based items and abilities.', However are Ava and Return to Shadows movement abilities? Imean they give move speed, but does that make them movement abilities or are they just abilities that buff you?

Currently there are multiple abilities/items that give move speed that do not get silenced by Slowing Hex.

Hazes Smoke Bomb (which is extremely similar to Ava), Fleet Foot and Wardens Will Power all give move speed, and are definitely movement abilities/items, but they don't get silenced. Then we have Vypers Slither (however its a passive) and Doormans Doorway which don't give move speed, but are definitely 'movement' abilities, but they don't get affected either. There are also a bunch of abilities that have upgrades that give move speed like Bebops Bomb, and Minas Love Bites, and Items that don't 'feel' like movement items, but still give move speed, like Heroic Aura.

I think slowing hex should be either made to stop all abilities/items that give move speed, or it should only stop the move speed portion of those abilities/items.

"Movement-based abilities" should relate to abilities that displace your character, not abilities that give you movement speed. I believe it's meant to be similar to "Grounded" from many other MOBAs. The intent of Slowing Hex is to prevent someone from escaping using their immediate dash abilities.

I do find it curious that Return to Shadows and Ava are silenced during Slowing Hex. It seems like an oversight to me.

I'm gonna be real with you, I have no idea why they're so allergic to using standard terminology.
