I just don't understand why it exists?
Is it to counter strategic building?
Did rito feel creative making their own source of damage?
Why isn't there a defense item that defends only vs true damage?
In the damage logs out of game, why isn't true damage listed?
If so, is it listed under magic damage or physical damage?
Is Yi a main true damage champ now? xd
Just curious :)

KillerKell1 votesCountering tanks?
That was the intent. It's where the real divide between Tank and Beef came in.
KillerKell2 votesWhat counters True Damage? Pure HP.
Nothing, however, counters %Max HP True Damage... equally efficient vs. every Champion it faces.
Now, that's just the Counter to Base True Damage... but the real counter is in how to counter the Champion. The ONLY League that Fiora blew up in was NA... everyone else held her either in check or curb stomped her.
So with Fiora it was a flaw in how NA was playing against her, until Huni figured out Quinn is a Skill Match Up vs. her and whoever found out that Malphite and Maokai are two tough hombres vs. her in spite of her Max Health Percentile True Damage.
Yi? Chain him down and burst him. Tank Yi? Chain him down and Sustain him.
Same for Vayne. Just one Hard CC is all it takes, and POP goes the Vayne.
Cho? Dude, are you mad man? Why are you trying to 1v1 a Cho? HE EATS WORLDS. ENTIRE PLANETS. Are you greater than an entire planet? So CC his big, slow azz and dump a ton of Ranged Damage into his body until you and your Allies DEFEAT THE EATER OF WORLDS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Seriously, only certain Champions are fit to Solo a Cho'lo. Use 'Team'.
Vel. Dodge. Then destroy.
Wolfess1 votesusually the counter depends on the champ that's being played
yi: heavy crowd control hurts him bad. Stuns, roots, suppresses.
vayne: high burst, preferably with some cc. Combo her with champs like LB, annie, Talon who can kill squishy champs in a single rotation. also try to not be near a wall when you face her and if possible pack a pink ward or sweeper.
fiora: max % hp true damage that scales with AD, has an all-skill-blocking ability, dashes, and a massive heal ult.... riot dun goofed. Best way is probably to play a champ with strong disengage and team up on her.
Cho'gath: high hp and resistance to avoid being chunked by his skills and then having your remaining hp chunked to zero by his ult. Very weak to CC like slows and being kited properly.
vel'koz passive: try to let stacks wear off before attempting to engage. decent amount of hp to counter flat true damage. be good at avoiding skillshots.
i'm probably forgetting a few here.
Verxint1 votesFioras main counter is defending vitals/punishing her for striking them, dodging lunge so it goes on a long CD, and saving important spells for when she uses W (which has a really long cooldown, over 20 seconds at rank 1)
Chake14u1 votesFirst: It's "sole" not "soul." Sole means only, while soul means the spiritual part of a person.
I just don't understand why it exists? True damage is very hard to obtain, only a few champions actually have it (And dragon gives it against monsters/turrets). It allows for Cho'gath to have a very unique execute, and it gives Olaf a trade off for losing health. Master Yi has it because it synergizes well with his kit (passive, along with junglers now going that fancy new jungle item I can't remember the name of and BotRK). Did rito feel creative making their own source of damage? I'm not sure what you mean by "their own source of damage" Why isn't there a defense item that defends only vs true damage? Because true damage is very niche, and would screw over people like Cho'gath and Olaf, but nobody else. In the damage logs out of game, why isn't true damage listed? True damage is listed indirectly. You have to do math, where you add your magic and physical damage and subtract that total from the total damage dealt Is Yi a main true damage champ now? xd Not really. Yes, he has some forms of true damage, but he's not one that comes to mind when you say "true damage"
SKT T1 LaFlame1 votesI can't really answer your question but I'm surprised Irelia hasn't been mentioned over Yi. Irelia is actually an abomination of a champion. I'm not saying she's overpowered or "broken" necessarily but her kit is a fuckin mess and while I understand thematically why she has it, it doesn't make the absolute most sense in the context of her kit gameplay wise.
