Status Resistance is a mechanic that
reduces the duration of debuffs.
Only effects the negative buffs placed by
opponents and does not reduce the
duration of buffs placed by allies.
All heroes start with zero base status
resistance but strength heros receives
0.15 percent status resistance per point in strength.
Status resistance stacks
diminishingly. This means that the
resistance value increases diminishingly with higher percentage of status resistance.
Status resistance affects the durations
of all stuns, hexes, roots, single targets
slows, taunts, fears, silences, mutes.
Status effects like maim and disarm.
It also affects steal based status effects
like Slarks Essence Shift and OD's Arcane Orb.
It also affects spells which work based
on ticks but it increases the tick rate
which means that the overall damage /
effect is the same but over a shorter
duration.
Skills would change your status
in a certain AOE.
Negative status
resistance works pretty much in the same
way as status resistance except it
inverses the effects increasing the
duration of negative buffs.
It is the
same mechanic with negative values.
Currently Bane is the only hero who can
apply negative status resistance with
his first skill enfeeble
