My quick maths makes this Garen dead. But he lives in game?

So firstly I'm here hoping that someone with more game knowledge than me will be able to clarify why the Garen in question lives.

_Scenario _- Garen on low health, hit by Kayle E and lives with ONE hp. (I have been suspicious of this games mathematical models for some time now, so decided to test it as this Garen was one lucky bugger).

My Quickmaths (Abbreviations used)

Garen Max HP = 2497 Garen Current HP = 118 (2379 missing health) Garen MR = 57% Kayle E = 16% missing hp as magic damage

16% of 2379 = 380 --> 57% (mr) factored = 217 damage --> Garen DIES with overkill of 99hp

_"Oh wait, what if Garen used his W" _

Garen W = 60% REDUCED damage

Factoring in the 60% damage reduction from the initial calculation leaves Garen, you guessed it, DEAD with an overkill of 12!

Conclusion

Maybe my quickmaths is flawted, or maybe there is some funny business going on. Either was I am looking for another quickmathematician to help me get to the bottom of this :)

Thanks, Trolltountilt.

If garen is taking 57% reduced damage from his Mr, then your 380 damage becomes 163, not 217.

And Garen still dies?

Not with his w up he doesn't.

How much would he live by?

60 something. I haven't seen everything on new kayle, but that's about the amount an auto attack would do, so if e also applies auto damage then that would be ballparked to super low hp

Yes but I was building crit with Triforce meaning I should then have an empowered sheen hit with AD? Surely there is no way that kind of auto would do 59 damage?

Triforcr would be more, but it doesn't take into account w reduction or the fact that garen gets armor from csing. I think it would be ballpark

And his HP regen in increasing his current hp, making kayle’s e deal less damage than the OP initially thought. And garen has a doran shield to increase his hp regen for a short bit.

Im pretty sure my initial numbers were correct, the point of contact was 118

I also forgot to add --- That I was building a heavy AD build this game, and my quickmaths does NOT add the auto damage that accompanies the E spell. JS, I think there is something up here
