=Is the base AD ignored in Thunderlords calculation and is the does the lvl 2-18 growth ad counted in that? or can someone lend me a calculation of Thunderlords to make my friend shut up about it being OP for AD champions?
TLDR BELOW thunderlords works on bonus AD, I beleive. Will look it up.
From memory - 10-180 +30% bonus AD damage +10% AP damage.
EDIT : yeah its bonus AD, AD/ level does not count (Again an assumption im making, because I see triforce damage go up/level so it must be considered base AD.)
For example lets compare an adc, and any champion that builds ap.
the adc will probably get these AD items, in no particular order -> Blood thirster, Infinitey edge, runans hurricane, boots, GA, last whisper
thats around , 195 bonus AD. So, at levl 18 thunderlords decree will do 258 damage.
An AP champion will probably get -> Morelonomicon, Ludens echo, death cap, void staff, sorc shoes, zhonya.
around 634 AP. thats approximately 243 damage.
TLDR; Full build AP champions deal 243 damage. full build adc's deal 258 damage.
Almost the same, BUT BUT BUT, ap champions tend to build magic penetration items, including but not limited too runes, sorc shoes and void staff, so thunderlords will end up doing MORE damage when used by a full build ap champion.
FINAL VERDICT : AP champions deal more damage with thunderlords.
