My thoughts on Ninja Tabi's

Ok sure but why··1 votes·274 views

Boots should have more synergy with actual builds. All of them, but mostly Tabi's. Boots should be something to enhance a specific playstyle instead of just a bit of cheap stats.

My idea for how to balance Tabi's some more: item 3047 20 Armour + Take (12% per 100 bonus armour) less damage from basic attacks.

Other ones like item 3020 item 3117 are kinda fine, but those other ones are just ones you get as an early, cheap, mild steroid. You really want a Ninja Tabi's Draven walking up to you, taking 50 damage from your auto attack, dealing a 400-damage auto attack of his own and running away? Well, the joke's on you: Yes, because if he doesn't run away, he's already killed you.

Inversely, when you're playing someone like Malphite, Draven's late-game Q WON'T deal 5000 damage to you.

So, it would help tanks whilst not making "squishies" too unbearably protected.

LOL 12% per 100 armor? Hell no.

Well, I'd rather a Malphite take 48% less damage from auto attacks if that meant Draven only took like 2% less.

Who knows? They could mercifully meet in the middle and make it 5% (+5% bonus armour) less damage instead. Exact numbers don't matter. It's the principle! It's the point that things should shift towards that direction!

the idea is good imo, but 12% is straight up broken. How would you kill a rammus with 400 armor and a helmet?

Almost 50% less aa dmg, a thornmail + shield that kills you in a few hits and 70+% overall damage reduction as well. ALSO, the 48% aa dmg reduction can't be penetrated at all, so a last wisper is pretty much pointless anyway

Well, if they made tanks less liable to die, Riot could then start a chain reaction of tweaks to their damages, to thornmail, and to all other items and runes that would make tanks less liable to deal tons of damage as well!

Also, it would make things like the Black Cleaver and Garen even more supportive tank-weakeners for the ADC's, which would actually be a nice thing to see
