You know what's funny?

You build one MR item, and you take much less damage. I'd actually believe that tooltip.

You build five armor items, and the tooltip says you take 78% less damage minus another 12% from Ninja Tabi... and you're still being autod for 400-600 twice a second, and you die within a second or two to any AD champ -- even champs that don't build any AD at all, like Yi, but still somehow miraculously one shot squishies and melt tanks like they're not even building armor. I don't think that tooltip actually tells the truth.

I find that just a bit funny.

Note: Armor needs Health to function, same with Magic Resist. Also, of course Yi is going to melt you if you build armor, he deals true damage on true damage, and his true damage is probably doing true damage. The man is so true that he was banned from Polygraph tests.

Note: Most tanks who build 5 armor items will have 3500+ health. You'd think you would last more than a second or two in a teamfight against a full AD team.

And if Yi is building, you know, no AD... you would think he'd do very little damage to you. Unfortunately, he seems to have passive 300 AD every game or something.

We're gonna need some in game proof to both of those claims please.

arent you the same person that complains about LB does too much dmg? Lmao what an ironical post.

MarshbouyMay 6, 20182 votes

Nothing is good enough to OP. They're just a salty complainer.

OnotoriMay 6, 20181 votes

You're right, I should be happy when two entire classes were made useless.

MagicFlyingLlamaMay 6, 20183 votes

More or less, yes. Seems like 1-2 QQ posts a day.

OnotoriMay 6, 20181 votes

Look, I get it, the rest of the flock doesn't think LB is broken, so you can't either. But a targeted statcheck that does well over 2k damage in the blink of an eye is not fair in any way.

But you just said that MR counters ap users too much ?!?! Am I seriously missing something??

2k damage

Sciela why did you have to make another account to continue your legendary shitposting? Why cant you just leave? Nobody wants you here. Nobody listens to you seriously. Riot probably makes jokes in the office about you. Your opinions are always such complete bullshit. You made your last account into a complete laughing stock and you did the same to this one. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

OH THIS IS SCIELA?

THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH!!!

Yi does True damage on hit, and often brings Conquerer.

ADCs often build Lord Dominik's.

And your math is bad. Tabis reduces 12% of what's left over.

you're still being autod for 400-600 twice a second

And this is just bullshit. ADCs don't even deal that much damage per hit against unarmored targets, let alone ones with 300+ armor.

... what game have you been playing the last two years?

DuskDaUmbreonMay 6, 20183 votes

The one that's actually live.

Most don't pass 250 AD. With a 100% critrate (for ease of calculation) and IE's live passive, you'll hit a zero-armor target for 625 damage.

The average champion has at least a 1/3 damage reduction from base armor at level 18. 625/(2/3) is just slightly under 417 damage. And that's with just base armor. Tanks have higher base armor (except Thresh), and stack far more than zero.

So they barely pass 400 damage. By not even a full 17 points. Once you realize no ADC gets over 80% crit on live, you have to reduce damage by a relative amount.

And, again, that's to an average squishy with zero armor items. Not to a tank with five.

Armor and tabi are multiplicitave I'm pretty sure, it doesn't matter what order you do them

OnotoriMay 6, 20181 votes

They're multiplicative, yes.

DuskDaUmbreonMay 6, 20181 votes

The way OP put it it implied that he thought it was additive, meaning that it'd reduce 90% of auto damage.

You are correct, however. It doesn't matter if armor or tabis count first, you get the same damage total.

VerxintMay 6, 20181 votes

Ah I do see your point. When you said "Tabis reduce 12% of what's left" I thought you were implying the order mattered but now that I actually use my brain I see your post makes sense.

MagicFlyingLlamaMay 6, 20185 votes

The issue is AD champs have too much armor pen/shred/true damage. AP only has void staff and sorcs.

Which is really backwards, since AD also has better sustained damage and less resource costs.

Fixing it would mean rebalancing half the game, though.
