There is absolutely 0 counterplay to % health true damage

Not necessarily.

On it's perfectly balanced because you can play around your Vitals. In laning phase, you can walk off screen to drop a weak Vital, or stand next to terrain to defend it.

On , it's more meant to be an inevitability than something you counterplay. "If you let Vayne keep attacking you, you will die, no matter who you are" type of thing. The counterplay is limited based on your class, so the main strategy is to CC her so she can't attack, and, if you're a Tank, get Frozen Heart to slow her attack speed.

You're right though, not sure why people are even hating...

I feel like Fiora vitals always spawn in her favor. Or it just could be me.

It seems like every time I lane against a Fiora the vital procs always spawn towards her side. I find myself walking away nonstop to make it go away and come back with one in my favor..

Problem is it's never in my favor.

One don't counterplay damage types, you absolute derpwaffle.

You counter-build it.

The counter-build to %HP true damage is focusing more on damage rather than durability to kill the %HP True source faster.

Welcome to one of the reasons I stopped playing league consistently outside of arams for 2.5-3 years.

That's counterbuilding you're referring to.

There's also zero counterplay to flat physical damage.

Are you complaining about those two champions, or percent health damage? Your title makes it seem like you don't like the stat, but the content of your post makes it look like you're just venting over Fiora and Vayne.

What if I told you Fiora's true damage scales with AD?

For her damage to be a threat whatsoever, she must have at least 200 AD...this isnt possible before 20m unless she farms well

I hate playing against . Yet I only have 1 ban, so Vayne it is.

used to outplay her with R. Good times.

the point of the stat is to make it so certain champions can out duel tanks. or to ensure that champion has a certain amount of threat no matter what.

Usually to counter this you build HP and a stack of AR/MR based on who is dealing the true damage. But since your clearly upset vs fiora and vayne i would assume you generally play tanks. Go build thornmail.

Yea. you beat true damage by building HP / MR/HP based on whats dealing the true damage. Even if your not geting as much use out of the HP because true damage. It does not mean that you get nothing out of it. It means that you simply get less value out of those stats, its unfortunate but you need them to survive long enough to get your damage off. Outside of this the other variables are your champion, which champ your having problems with, things of these manner. You simply complaining about a mechanic that's tied to two champions usually means you don't understand how it works or how to fight against it.

If your gripe is about Fiora build . You can also walk away from her to reset her passive if its an easy to pop one (ie the ones south and west if your on red side the opposite if on blue). So do not act like there is NOTHING you can do about her in laning phase if you know how to trade well against her.

Against Vayne well. I'm told focusing her down works quite well unless she vastly out skills you or you lack understand in how she functions as a champion. Generally this one is based on how both your team she she plays TBH. Her harass pattern is usually "auto attack q auto e to proc w" so if she starts on someone generally you have your support provide the harass necessary to stop her from doing it. She will also look to E you into walls for more auto attack shenanigans so you can play around it. There is infinitely more variables than just that but I am not going to type for hours about how to do it when im sure you can find primers about it in places like the lol reddits.

Edit - bit about the cardinal directions, forgot to add that whatever side your on is important

You build both armor and HP against Vayne because most of her damage is still physical, which gets mitigated.

If I'm not mistaken still gets dumped on by it was the main reason her win rate tanked as it did when it was released AFAIK

As for this thread..and counter play.

There is a thing called positioning. Its magical. It counter plays that true damage really easy.

For real don't get caught out, stay in position during team fights, control vision, don't take bad engages, and learn when to back off. That's the counter play, because you wont be taking that true damage very often if you do these things.
