What is crowd control score in league of legends, and what can you do to increase it?
You can easily view your CC score through the post-game lobby screen. After completing a game, simply go to 'Stats' at the top left of the window and look for 'Crowd Control Score' under the 'Combat' tab.
Keeping your enemies incapacitated – and having a high CC score as a result – is crucial to winning more games in League of Legends. Champions with lots of innate CC in their kit tend to do very well regardless of patch or season. Here's everything you need to know.
How to Increase Your Crowd Control Score in League of Legends
To increase your crowd control score in League of Legends, you need to use more abilities that disable (eg stun, root, slow) your enemies. Try to choose champions with CC heavy kits (eg. Nautilus, Leona, Morgana) rather than champions who completely lack CC abilities (eg. Master Yi, Katarina, Ezreal), and aim to apply your abilities to as many enemies as possible. If support isn't your cup of tea, but you still want a high CC score, consider adding a few CC-based items to your arsenal (eg Everfrost, Randuin's Omen).
Best Roles to Play for a High CC Score
Unsurprisingly, champions with the most CC in their kit are played as supports in the bot lane. These are generally tanks that don't deal too much damage themselves; they stun enemies and rely on their allies to finish the job. While tank supports don't have to try too hard to keep their CC score high, some tank and fighter type junglers can also carry plays with their own CC abilities. Prime examples include Vi, Skarner, Hecarim, Nunu, and Rammus.
You'll often also find plenty of stuns and slows in the top lane. Champions such as Volibear, Wukong, Malphite, and Nasus strike terror into the hearts of immobile mages and helpless AD wielders. Annie, Anivia, and Malzahar are mid-range mages who can keep enemies locked in while they ruthlessly melt their faces.
Exactly because AD carriers rely on their mounts to do the dirty work for them, most snipers typically lack heavy CCs. Notable exceptions include Vayne and Tristana.
Best Champions To Play For High CC Score
Expanding your champion pool is never a bad thing. Here are some champions that will naturally keep your crowd control score high:

Best crowd control items in League of Legends
Of course, active and passive items can also be used to disable your enemies. Here are some of the most useful League of Legends Season 11 CC items:
- Everfrost: A mana AP item that slows enemies in a cone in front of you. Enemies caught in the middle of the cone are rooted instead.
- Randuin's Omen: A defensive item that slows enemies while reducing their attack and critical strike damage.
- Frostfire Gauntlet: A defensive item that creates a field of frost that slows when attacked.
- Striderbreaker: An AD bruiser item that slows enemies in front of you.
- Turbo Chemtank: Another defensive item that slows enemies around you.
