Could someone explain this to me without using advanced math?
If someone deals 300 physical damage to me, and I have 100 armor. Do I take 200 damage?
And If so, Late game if someone lets say Leblanc, does 1300 damage and I have 200 Magic resist, am I taking 1100 Magic damage?
TehNACHO2 votesNo, you take 150.
The equation is:
Opponent's Damage*(100/(100+Armor))=Health Lost
To plug in your first example:
300*(100/(100+100))=150
And in your second
1300*(100/(100+200))=433.3...

Mysticman892 votesThe above is simplified since it's ignoring penetration.
It's not a simple do-in-your-head kind of calculation even in that simplified form. It's just multiplying by a fraction so it's not hard math, just kinda messy in practice.
1 800 Top Lane1 votesI see, thank you
TehNACHO2 votes...
I feel like if you don't know how to read these equations, you're not in any situation where you actually need them.
1 800 Top Lane1 votesYou do not need to understand something, to master it.
hey daddio 1 votesBasically Armor shields you from Attack Damage based attacks/abilities and auto attacks. and Magic Resists shields you from Ability Power based attacks/abilities.
For example: the more Armor you have the stronger you resist champions like 
.
The more Magic Resist you have the more you resist champions like 
.
Hope this helps.
1 800 Top Lane1 votesRight, I appreciate the effort, but I do understand what they accomplish. I'm just not sure how the equation takes place, as I do not excel in math. 1300*(100/(100+200))=433.3... is hyroglyphs to me

tbh. you dont need to excell at math to understand them.
this is very basic math, that a 6th grader should understand.
ill try to explain it to you like this.
every point of resistance increases your hp effectively by 1%. means if you have 1000 health and 100 armor, you can take 2000 physical damage pre mitigation before you die.
1 800 Top Lane1 votesSchool is very much different in 2016, than it was in 2000. But yes I understand what you are saying.
Michael Sykes1 votesafter 100 armor/mr the effectiveness of it decreases. 50% damage reduction with 100 armor/mr 66,6% damage reduction with 200 armor/mr 75% damage reduction with 300 armor/mr

its not THAT different. this is basic multiplication.
do your homework.

Basically Armor shields you from Attack Damage based attacks/abilities and auto attacks. and Magic Resists shields you from Ability Power based attacks/abilities.
I do agree with what you are saying here, and for the most part this is true, but I believe what you should be saying here is
Basically Armor shields you from Physical damage attacks/abilities and auto attacks. and Magic Resists shields you from Magic damage attacks/abilities.
For the most part, abilities that deal physical damage typically will scale on Attack Damage and abilities that deal magic damage scale on Ability Power, however that is not always the case.
Again, I know what you're saying, but this is just something that is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
VivaLaKitten1 voteswho builds armor or mag res anymore? penetration just saps right through it just go a damage dealer with a lot of health
1 800 Top Lane1 votesOnce you hit high silver and scatter through gold, team comps actually exist. It's not all 1 man carries and teemo tops anymore.
VivaLaKitten1 voteswat . - . first off, you're assuming I'm a low rank second I don't even play ranked and could care less about it third, you aren't noticing the sarcasm in my comment illustrating that penetration is really strong atm and resistances aren't affective against it

Stop believing dumb shit the boards say. ADC builds that stack armour pen scale worse against tanks than builds that go a single percent armour pen item with crit and attack speed.
1 800 Top Lane1 votesYou would have to at least play 10 ranked games to even be a "low rank" so I'm not sure where you are coming from. This is about Armor and Magic resistance.
