Someone explain how Annie's molten shield stops ignite dmg?

Was just playing a game with a super-fed Annie, I was Vlad (I was top, not mid vs Annie) and there were times where she'd have literally a sliver of health left, I would ignite her thinking that was that, then she'd toss up her molten shield and somehow survive the full ignite.

I was under the impression that molten shield simply raised her MR/Armor and did dmg back to auto attacks, so how was it blocking ignite's TRUE damage which armor/mr should have 0 effect on?

Seriously though, sounds like a bug. You sure Annie didnt have Barrier?

most likely it didn't have enough damage to kill her and she used her shield for no reason.

Molten shield shouldn't mitigate ignite damage. Maybe she had a potion or dangerous game?

She had Rod of Ages, so maybe she leveled up and gained enough bonus health and the healing to survive it?

she might have gone health first for item 3027 also, ignite's damage early game is very low. I think if you're up to level 6 it only does 110-150, maybe 200, but ignite and flash are my least favorite spells

if you were level 6, your ult would have killed her though

Was it the last tick of ignite? Because that doesn't actually tick. It is really awkward, actually...

The graphic of molten shield prevented you from noticing that she used barrier at the same time?

Judging by the game I see in your match history chances are she either got a heal from the Nid, an ult from the Shen, a summoner heal from the Ezreal, or she leveled up and got healed by her Catalyst. The only other option as to why she would survive an ignite when that weak would be you miscalculating how much damage it does vs how much Hp she had.
