Celestial Opposition — the Support Item That Slows
400gold
Celestial Opposition is a 400-gold support item: after a champion damages you, you take less champion damage for 2 seconds, and when that ends nearby enemies are slowed by 50% for 1.5 seconds. Since patch 25.19 the slow no longer fires if you are dead. Every purchase in our count came from supports.

Why, in Riot's words
We’re fixing a long-standing issue with Celestial Opposition that gave it very weird optimizations. Essentially, players could send a clone forward and it would result in a nearly guaranteed slow-bomb on a short cooldown. While it’s fine that clones often mimic items, getting slowed by thin air just isn’t a good experience. So now the champion (or clone) must be alive in order for Celestial Opposition’s slow to trigger. This means that, for example, attacking Neeko W won’t result in you getting crowd controlled.
