Soo.. why exactly would you want to buff Ninja Tabi?

Penns··3 votes·656 views

2% less reduction from auto attacks meanwhile 10% extra reduction from on hits like bork, bloodrazor, Tri Force and even Lich Bane? And on hits from champs like Kog Maw W? Uh... sure bork is broken but why buff the item thats already bought by everyone instead of just nerfing bork?

Sheen damage isn't on-hit. It's empowered auto damage, and it was already reduced by Ninja Tabi.

This would be a buff to characters who build Sheen items.

And frankly, it would be a buff to my main doge, so I would be pleased to see it go through.

Sheen items say "on hit" and if the damage was already reduced by Tabi, it also increased life steal. Which Im pretty sure it didnt.

Uh, sheen procs do increase life steal, and I'm pretty sure it affects life steal precisely because it is an empowered auto effect.

Also, if it were an on-hit effect it would be doubled by Rageblade.

That's not how rageblade works. Rageblade doesn't double the power of an onhit ability, it causes an auto to apply any and all onhits that it is affected by twice, which means it treats your one auto as if it were two consecutive auto attacks. Sheen only applies on hit to one auto, which means it would not get doubled

This

{quoted} Sheen only applies on hit to one auto, which means it would not get doubled

contradicts this.

And Sheen is not an on-hit effect.

Whether or not Sheen is an onhit effect doesn't diminish the fact that you needed Rageblade explained to you

Rageblade passive once stacked up: "Every other basic attack will trigger on-hit effects an additional time"

Me: Sheen doesn't get applied again by Rageblade passive, because it's not an on-hit effect.

You: NO YOU DON'T GET IT RAGEBLADE MECHANICS AREN'T WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE AND SHEEN MECHANICS AREN'T WHAT YOU THINK THEY ARE

Me: Oooooooooor your basic assumption (that Sheen is an on-hit effect) could be entirely wrong and your explanation of Rageblade mechanics in light of that totally misguided.

You: It doesn't matter that I'm totally wrong, because you needed me to explain that you were wrong so you could point out that I was wrong.

I was just explaining Rageblade to you, If you want to fly off the handle, that's fine. But I doubt it will amount to much

The terminology is rather confusing and inconsistent.

Physical on-hit effects don't usually apply lifesteal (i.e. Kindred's passive, Bloodrazor) and Blade of the Ruined King is an explicit exception.

"Modified" autoattacks (i.e. Sheen, Xin Zhao's Q, Trundle's Q, Nasus' Q, Draven's Q, etc) will generally have lifesteal applies based on the bonus damage.

However, Xin Zhao's Q is apparently an on-hit effect (since it procs after two autoattacks with Rageblade).

In addition, I don't believe Illaoi's W applies lifesteal based on their bonus damage either even though it is a "modified" autoattack.

At the moment, you usually need to know how each individual ability works.

Riot probably has to do a consistency pass for physical damage on-hit effects (for terminology if nothing else) to clear the situation up.

Note: I don't believe Modified Autoattacks are an official term or thing. They do reasonably describe a subset of physical damage on-hit effects, but there are exceptions and inconsistencies.

I think that, at this point, Riot is just shooting blind and hoping they get something right.

I guess they want to find a way to make Bork weaker without directly changing it.

Idk why though.

an item is getting a niche

the horror

Penns1 votes

An overpowered item is getting more power*

Ahristocats1 votes

last time i checked -2% damage reduction is not more power

Ninja tabi is being built against ABSOLUTLY every ad in the game this change makes it weaker against most champions while being stronger against bork+on hit effect champions

Penns1 votes

-2% dmg reduction < 10% on hit dmg reduction imo tho. Why does it even need compensation?

Ralanr1 votes

Probably to make it more niche.

Penns1 votes

Idk.. thats not a very good niche for boots imo. And taking only 2% reduction off isnt really enough to make it go from "buy against everything that has AD" to "buy against on hit only".

Cocho1 votes

tbh if they wanted a niche item for on-hits, tabis isnt it. They ruined a bunch of tank armor items, why not give it to one of those lol
