Can we get some kind of true damage reduction please?

Maybe per 100 of armor or magic resist you get 5% true damage reduction? (Can be lowered on certain champions like malphite.) It most if not all situations this would max out at 30% or we could simply put a hard cape at 25%. This would help combat certain true damage burst champions whose main damage output is unblockable. Vayne MasterYi Darius (Less on darius though) I get the point of true damage at times, but I don't believe that a champions main source of damage should EVER be true damage. It should be a supplementary or additional damage source. To clarify; 50 armor and 50 mr = 0 reduction. 100 armor and 50 mr = 5% reduction. 100 armor and 100 mr = 10% reduction. 300 armor and 300 mr = 30% reduction. (or 25% if a cap is implemented.)

EDIT: This will NOT effect ignite.

True damage can not be reduced.

Well besides by these things....

True damage is only true if it cant be reduced, but plenty of items have activatable shields that can soak the damage for you.

I need a bigger shield then. MasterYi 40% true damage from wuju style. Vayne 56% damage from silver bolts. When you got 4k hp, that's one hell of a shield.

No way its called TRUE damage. Any reduction would nerf champs such as Chogath and Irelia. It would also make chilling smite and ignite worthless.

"chilling smite" for the damage is already worthless. It will win you effectively no fights. "ignite" I will specify that this is exempt. "Any reduction would nerf champs such as Chogath " I can see this effecting him, but he would still deal a minimum of 750 true damage to super tanks and full to squishies which is really his goal. So it wouldn't hurt him that much in all reality. and "Irelia" She has a reliable damage output and really doesn't need the true damage tbh.

That would beat the purpose of it. They just need to get rid of health scaling true damage, because that's sort of dumb.

i understand all that but that isnt as power when they stack armor as true damage.

You asked me how you killed them. i suggested items. Yes % true damage is better (and the most stupid thing in the game), but that wasnt what you asked.

Well since they won't remove %health true damage for some retarded reason, something needs to happen.

No.

I bet a rioter is going to reply with something like 'but then ignite would become worthless'.

You know what? I'm fine with ignite dealing it's damage guaranteed. I'm mainly talking about the champions mentioned above.

ZT Xperimentor1 votes

I know, just mentioning that it'll also impact ignite too. Though you forgot about fiora, her passive is basically a melee version of vayne's.

the only true damage I dislike is percentage, flat true damage can be mitigated some by health.

shield's block true damage, including vayne's

true damage is called true, because its not reduced, well maybe item 3046 would negate, but still. Answer to true damage is as simple as stacking health

It's true damage... it's meant to be true bruh

True damage should not be blockable, since that's the whole point of true damage. Try building health. And for Vayne/Fiora, most of their damage is still physical.

LatetotheRace1 votes

I won't touch Fiora in this instance as her ult allows her to do almost 50% of your max hp (in true damage mind you) with 300 AD. Vayne on the other hand has been pressured/encouraged to build more crit and AD as a whole while building less attack speed. That being said it would only make sense for her to be doing MUCH LESS true damage as her physical damage would make up for it right? So if we could deal with % health true damage, then we wouldn't need damage reduction on it.
