Armor whats the point?

Aitikian··4 votes·1,019 views

330 Armor, Thornmail, Sunfire 3k hp Jinx does 2k damage and takes 0 damage with only 10% lifesteal.

The amount of damage and adc can deal to a high armor target especially one with thorn mail while taking nill damage is completely unbalanced.

armor and MR should be nerfed

Last Whisper and void staff should be removed.

Now there is more pointto building armor and MR

THe role of an adc late game is precisely to destroy people. If not games would last 2 hours. Armor is great to a point. I out trade any Riven with my Taric top with just proper runes/masteries and a cloth of armor. But it downscales the more you get because people would just be immortal otherwise. That said. Last whisper is CANCER for this game.

The misconception people have is that defensive stats aren't supposed to make you INVULNERABLE to your enemy, it just takes them longer to kill you.

Longer to kill you shouldn't be 5seconds instead of 3

It's more like 5 seconds instead of 1.5 seconds in all real situations, but we can't expect people like you to actually pay attention to that sort of thing.

The tank lasts 3 seconds After a Hard Engage, harring the enemy team? That's still better than the ADC who Just got 2 shoted by the Mage/Assassin.

The trick is the Hard engage. Tanks, who don't have Hard engage could potentially get killed before they can actually harry the enemy. And most Engage tanks (except maybe Maokai) are being outclassed by hard engage Mages like Kennen and Lisandra, who substitute the Tankyness with invulnerability, like from a Zonya's. All while leaving them in a better position to carry, which makes them more desirable in YoloQ.

Play taric and have 100 armor at 2 minutes.

well first of all you built item 3068, because that totally inconsequential magic dmg that you can't even get within range to use is soooooooo worth -50hp -30 armor no attack speed slow and no active slow.......item 3143

Should have built frozen heart instead of thornmail since the attackspeed slow is a percentage increase to your huge bulk. Also randuins instead of sunfire ofc.

We are missing a lot of information here.

Key point being, how long did it take for Jinx to deal the damage, how well was she doing at that point in the game (in terms of itemization), how was everyone's positioning, ect.

Sure Jinx dealt a lot of damage to you (it's her role after all), but you should realize that you are way tankier than Jinx (she has little to no defensive stats compared to you). While you might be taking a lot damage, she will die 10 times over to the same damage. So who is dealing the damage to her? If you're building thornmail and sunfire, it isn't you... you would just be distracting Jinx for one of your other teammates to put out the damage on her.

item 3035 item 3135 are cancer that undermines the value of armor/mr. An adc isnt meant to ignore the tankiness of a fully built tank no matter how far into the game you are, except for vayne... you sly devil you.

Try getting a Randuins next time. The AS slow is very, very nice. I think it also gives more armor. Stack that with a Frozen heart and even a Vayne will cry.
