Can we finally remove true damage

Soul Dealer··4 votes·1,367 views

I’m getting really pissed off whenever I try and play a tank that half of the damn roster can just insta delete me because of true damage. Oh I’m a tank and this yi is 0/3 oh well he will kill you in 1 second because of true damage and you can’t cc him because of his q. Riot needs to remove true damage from every champion in the game or tanks will never be allowed to exist.

True damage is a necessary thing for the game, but the sheer amount of it IS an issue. FIora for example, her passive true damage. Pyke R.

Vayne W. Both her and Fiora have unhealthy forms of true damage.

Theirs is flat. Vayne and Fiora have % Max Health True Damage, a type of true damage that has no counter.

True damage IS THE COUNTER. You are not supposed to counter the things that counter you. Vayne IS THE COUNTER to champions that want health and armor/mr. They are not supposed to be able to counter her. Complaining about that is like a Pyke complaining that people survive his ult when in Kindred's ult.

She doesnt need % max health true damage to do so. Shes got rageblade and Botrk. If she has to go through armor then she buys IE and crit with the Rageblade. Pretty fucking simple.

Vayne gets target-agnostic damage in exchange for having no AS steroids and being forced to fight entirely within her 550 auto range. Compare her to fellow hyper-carries like Twitch, Jinx, and Kog, who have access to AS boosts and range increases.

Fiora has it because it's on theme for her, being the grand duelist who can strike through her target's defenses with finesse, hitting their vital areas. It also doesn't do much damage if Fiora doesn't build a bunch of AD, so she can't exactly go tanky and still abuse it.

A. In return, its a high amount that gets proced fast once Vayne picks up Rageblade. There are other ways of fixing the AS issue for her, like Legend: Alacrity, Lethal Tempo, Ardent, and anyone with a AS buff like Lulu. She would still be a tank killer if we just swapped her W to flat.

B. Have you seen Fiora? The vitals are what exactly makes her trash as shit. So much power investment in it that the entire kits revolves around a RNG mechanic. Procing one grants so much shit: MS, Health, True damage.

People have no shortage of damage for punching through tanks, so this stat of % max health true damage as a whole isn't needed.

Tanks have been good with true game in the game meaning you're just wrong. Like the amount of true damage from last tank meta and now is not that much different.

Like tanks are not bad, champions like poppy,nunu or sejuani are pretty good. Also the fact most tops will get armor just proves your point is just more wrong since if true damage was a problem NO ONE WOULD BUILD MR OR ARMOR but they do.

True damage is fine that is a fact.
