League of True damage

Noxus235··2 votes·891 views

Took a year off of League, and almost every single game I play now has 2-3 true damage champs(not including conq.) on one or both sides. And frankly, I don't see how this is healthy for the game out side of " We need true damage to keep tanks in balance!". Sure, ya having tanks dominate games being unkillable is a problem, but when the champs with true damage like Fiora /Vayne /MasterYi come around and do 300+ (vague estimation but not far off. Eddit: BuT ThEy DoNt dO ThAt MuCh dAmage. Yes i know i just grabbed a number at random.) true damage in 2-3 hits at level 3 to anyone who's a non-tank. They are almost insta dead.

I'm no game designer, but wouldn't it be better to just have a mechanic scale to the amount of resistances being built? Kinda does the job when you think about it. And on top of that is it me or does no one outside of mages and assasins build any sort of pen because conq. Does the job for them anyways. I feel like I'm missing something, but otherwise is this an issue atm?

Vayne does not do 300 true damage at level 3 in 3 autos, nor does Master Yi.

"BONUS TRUE DAMAGE: 4 / 6.5 / 9 / 11.5 / 14% of target's maximum health"

Silver Bolts is rank 1 at level 3. You would literally need 7,500 HP for a rank 1 Silver Bolts to hit for 300.

During lane Vayne W only hits for the minimum damage.

For Vayne to hit you with 300 damage with a Silver Bolts proc you would need at least 2,142 maximum HP.

NO ONE has 2,142 HP at level 3.

During lane Vayne W only hits for the minimum damage.

  1. Was not an exact number, I even said so. Was an over estimation.

  2. I'm not just talking about Vayne.

  3. Talking about true damage as a whole. Missed the point of the post.

Yi doesn't do that kind of numbers either.

His True Damage at early levels is like 25-30 per hit,

True Damage was in a reasonable spot UNTIL Conqueror was introduced to the game.

And you just jump to the next champion on the list. Ignore the 300 you dunce.
