Shyvana's (R) dragon descent question:

Dremiist·Jan 20, 2015·1 votes·399 views

Come someone tell me why Dragon's Descent doesn't scale AD? she literally land on you physically, it's physical it even says: "Shyvana transforms into a dragon and dashes to a target location"

Enemies along her path take "magic damage"(why magic damage?) and are Airborne icon pushed toward her target location.

Also same thing with singed E or mundo Q they physical not magical.

also ezreal Q should be magic damage since he shot energy and not physical artillery

Game Dev Balance Logic > Whatever Your Logic Is

Dragon's Descent deals Magic damage and scales AP because Riot balanced her around that model. They don't want it scaling AD, and they don't like leaving abilities without scaling.

It doesn't matter if the interaction is physical or magic. Amumu's magic bandages and Ezreal's physical magic exist because of balance.

thats not how it works. Champions are given physical or magic damage for balancing reasons.
