True Damage

So I was playing Rammus, pure tank, health, and armor. My team and I were outplaying the enemy all game. We had all the dragons, two Barons, more towers, but we couldn't finish. Every fight was worse and worse until every fight became a loss.

The enemy had two tanks, two supports, one of which was Soraka, and their one DPS was VAYNE.

The Vayne had a guardian angel, quicksilver sash, and the rest attack speed.

Every fight I get melted, I check the damage done to me and it's around 2k to 3k true damage. I can't get near her, I can't taunt her. If I do taunt her she can just sash out of it.

There is literally nothing I can build to counter the Vayne damage because it is mostly true damage. This "zero counter" play to me is pretty bull shit and needs to change. Maybe if the Thornmail was doing massive damage back to her or something. I don't know.

There is just something really wrong with outplaying your opponent all game and still having no chance of winning because they can dish out infinite true damage which can't be countered.

Personally I'm in favour of removing true damage from the game completely. I can't think of another mechanic that lets you negate gold spend of another player.

Not every situation is supposed to have solid counterplay other than just general good play. Its about making calls and decisions. Vayne can be shut down by cc and focusing.

You let Vayne get item 3153 item 3124 item 3046 core. The moment you let her get those 3 items(one which let's jer spam true damage every second AA, aka item 3124) was the moment your game was decided. And guess what? It was a defeat, how predictable.

im not defending vayne but she is ment to be a tank destroyer.

and (outplaying) all game dont matter since team comps and such will effect the out play chances in diff times during the game.

their line up 1v1 is not amazing as its mostly supports and tanks but they had amazing team fight powers with a lot of aoe CC/heals/shields with one massive damage dealer while your team was just nukers/damage dealers

its really the team comp that lost you the game

Vayne was made to kill tank and thats the whole point of her true damage. Also if she was killing you as rammus over and over, you sick at the game. You didnt get your bot lane ahead so since your bot was trash, vayne got ahead.
