I saw an exhaust thread upvoted

And it asked why we complained about high damage and exhaust reducing dmg output. Sigh... Instead of flaming the OP, Ill take a more rational approach.

Exhaust isnt broken because of the dmg output reduction. It also has elements that allow it to be used offensively. Why does it shred resistances? Why does it cripple MS? If it truly is a defensive summoners, then The AS cripple and 40% dam output reduction is fine, but the resistance shred and/or ms cripple on top is not fine. Exhaust has long been a better option than ignite in most cases. Ignite only ever shined against sustain based champs and early game cheesing.

if you have 800 HP and you get barely killed while exhausted, just remember you would have survived with 80hp without exhaust :).

Could also press tab and choose not to fight someone who has exhaust, if you have TP.

Annies burst at lvl 6 is around 680 damage roughly before MR.

After its around 580~ So if you reduce someones MR by 10 flat their MR will be roughly 23~ which is 18% resistances.

If you're using exhaust offensively you're gaining around 5% damage.

I wish i could downvote more...

This spell doesn't "Shred" it removes 10 armor / mr... and the MS slow is because assassins rely on MS, gutting that MS and lowering AS and damage is a great counter, if it didn't slow your MS then the target you exhaust would just walk away for 2seconds and come back in...

Exhuast is meant to punish your opponent for overstepping. If it gives you an upperhand because of 10 armor / mr, you probably aren't playing well and building correctly
