Guardian Stoneplate - Theory

Lil Lewd Witch··1 votes·829 views

A common question I've been seeing about the new Stoneplate item is it's affect on True Damage

Gargoyle Stoneplate Total Cost: X Recipe: X Sells for: x +40 Armor +40 Magic Resist UNIQUE Passive - Stone Skin: If 3+ enemy champions are nearby, grants 40 bonus Armor and Magic Resist. UNIQUE Active - Metallicize: Increases Health by 40% and increases champion size, but reduces damage dealt by 60% for 4 seconds (90 second cooldown). If Stone Skin is active, the Health increase becomes 100% instead.


I BELIEVE that, according to the wording, it means ALL Damage being done by the champion with the item is reduced by 60%

So if Chogath noms Teemo for 500 True Damage BEFORE the item is activated, then while the item IS activated Chogath now noms Teemo for 200 True Damage(60% of 500 is 300, so 500 minus 300 = 200)

Just how I interpret it, I understand the confusion though. We've never had a self-inflicted damage Debuff before this, but True Damage is unable to be negated by the receiver, not the giver. I think.

Thing is we don't know if that'll happen because of how true damage functions for the receiver. We've never had a self damage reduction item before.

Of course not, I am jsut going with my interpretation of the wording for the item. I am guessing that before it goes live(if it goes live) that it will either be reworded or clarifying by the Riot Team

This item shouldn't be implemented. It'd also have to be banned in urf.
