Nashor get melted by Mountain drake
**TL : DR **Mountain drake really change too much the difficulty to take Baron Nashor.
And beforehand, I'll explain what are the number exactly. So, each mountain drake give you 10% true damage to nashor, drake and turrets.
Nashor have 120 armor and 70 MR, irreducible. 120 armor gives 54% damage reduction of physical damage 70 mr gives 41% damage reduction of magical damage
Now, what must also be noted is that the last target attacked by Baron Nashor deal 50% less damage to him. Which give 77% damage reduction if you deal physical damage, and 70% damage reduction for Magical damage.
Now, what is the value of mountain drake ?
- You are physical damage dealer, you don't tank nashor
- Physical, you tank nashor
- Magical, you don't tank
- Magical, you tank
- each mountain drake increase your damage by 21.7 %
- each mountain increase your damage by 43.4 %
- each mountain increase your damage by 16.9 %
- each mountain increase your damage by 33.3 %
So, few things to note
- Having 3 mountains drake and soloing Nashor while being a physical damage dealer increase your damage to Nashor by 130% !
- Magical damage dealer profit less from mountain drake than physical damage dealer.
- Nashor with his high resistances is very influenced by true damage, compared to Turrets or Drakes.
- Even if you are not tanking, the EHP of Nashor is really lowered by mountain drake, and by far more than 10% EHP per mountain drake.
In conclusion, I would say that mountain drake should not increase you damage by 10% true damage, but by 10% normal damage, equalizing this way magical and physical damage dealer, and making it less valuable specifically for Nashor.
