:Quick search in the internet gives arguments for either side, for example, decreased is usually preferred when used as an intransitive verb, but "reduced" is preferred when we talk about numerical values and intentional changes about the subject. Maybe "decreased" is "more correct" in the way we use it as an intransitive verb.

::Personally I think "reduced" looks more natural in most cases. It is usually used intransitively on these pages, but there is the context that these changes are made by NK and don't just materialize from nothing. Though, it might be less natural for changes that are unintentional (bugs, improper implementation, side effects of other changes, et cetera). I could go either way.

== Ability cooldown == | |||
For balance changes involving ability cooldown reductions that include non-instantaneous attacks, like Turbo Charge, or maybe all activated abilities in general, how should we format ability cooldown? | |||
*'''Ability:''' Ability cooldown reduced - 45s -> 40s | |||
Above is what I think the format would be, but Update History does not explicitly say how to deal with Ability and Ability Cooldown, as this might be one common scenario of when to include the same word or not.
