Shrink Ray

Shrink Ray was a generic active Talent that weakened the target enemy by a significant amount for a sizeable duration. It also made the enemy's model size half as large for the duration, although this was purely visual. It was a potent tool for use on a key Assassin such as Illidan to make their movement sluggish and reduce their damage. As a talent purely for use by Support and Healer Heroes, it was a great debuff Ability and could turn the pace of a teamfight with skilled use. The damage reduction had no effect on Unstoppable Heroes, however, if applied before they got the effect their model would remain small. The original version is no longer present on any Heroes.

Modified version

 * Ana's level 7 Talent, "Debilitating Dart", fires a dart that reduces the Movement Speed and damage dealt by the first Hero hit by 50% for 4 seconds. 45s cooldown.
 * Alexstrasza's level 13 Talent, "Pacify", reduces the damage dealt and Movement Speed of the target enemy by 50% for 3 seconds. 60s cooldown, reduced by 30s upon healing a disabled Hero.
