Damage Over Time?

Help me out here, i don't fully understand how armor and MR works in this game. So is DoT weaker than the numbers say it is? Like, if Teemo hits you and the total damage listed is something like 300 damage total. Would that be the same or less if the damage was just 300 flat. Does MR go into effect every tic and null more damage than if it was just a burst of damage? Or is the MR % based and it would all come out around the same damage anyway?

Mr and armor reduce damage by a % so there is no difference

But health regen does play a role into slightly mitigating dot effects, making them appear weaker.

If you do 100 dmg over 5 seconds or 100 dmg flat and its reduced by 10% lets say.

100 dmg flat reduced by 10% is 90.

100 dmg over 5 seconds is 20 dmg per tick reduced by 10% is 2 dmg off each tick for 5 ticks is still 10 dmg reduced off the 100 for 90 dmg. Or if you want the math 100/5 = 20 per tick - 2 = 18 per tick * 5 ticks = 90 dmg over 5 seconds
