Anivia E crit for ONE damage

Playing ARAMs on my main account, I rolled Anivia and had this happen. I hit Lux with a Q stun, then followed up with an E. She had been at around 50 health but not only did she not die, her health bar didn't even move. Our Wukong spoke up almost immediately with something like "wtf? did your e not do damage?" and I said that maybe Sona healed an instant before so it just looked like no damage, but I'd check the replay.

It crit for literally one damage. You can see the crit icon and the "1" in the damage floater.

Yea Anivia was just overperforming in aram, it's her stealth nerf.

With the way the rest of that match went, this is actually not that far fetched.

...But I still kinda suspect a bug. :P

Her w had returned just before your e hit her and it seems like it shielded almost as much as your e dealt damage

It does look like that, but something is still fishy with the stats.

Lux had rank 2 W for 75 base and 29 AP for an extra 9, 39 MR (28% reduction), and the ARAM balance of +10% damage taken.

I had rank 1 E for 50 base and 18 AP for an extra 9, Frostbite for double E damage (hence the crit), and no mpen.

So that's a shield of 84 against damage of:

Base: 50 Plus scaling: 9 Multiplied by Frostbite: 2 Multiplied by MR: around 0.72, but precisely 100/139 Multiplied by ARAM buff: 1.1

(50+9) * 2 * 100/139 * 1.1 = 93.38129...

If nothing else, it should've done 9 damage past the shield.

Looking at the replay again I'm also seeing an Aery buff, but that shield is 43 at level 4 plus 0.25 AP, which would block a lot more than 9 damage.

I wish we had access to logging and analysis tools instead of being limited to whatever spectator mode shows us. It doesn't even show dragon progress anymore, now that that's moved from buffs to a scoreboard that that mode doesn't have. :(
