Ninja Tabi

2 Axes 1 Victim·Apr 18, 2017·3 votes·732 views

Hi Riot. What sence does Tabis make? It gives everyone Kalista passive and makes AD's do 0 dmg. It's not a coincidence that every ADC and assassin buys it. Please watch the video i linked from 27:10 to 29:20, it explains the problem really well in my opinion. And also a well known Challenger player tweeting about the reduced damage you take from Ninja Tabi in comparison to Randuins Omen.

I hope you will answer me. :) Kind regards. PS: This is not my main account, so I do know a lot about the game. :)

Ninja Tabi is currently the ONLY option for AD champions to get any Armor without building tanky items. That's why everyone buys it. The new GA will hopefully relieve the reliance on Ninja Tabi a bit

I would add to this saying that the trade off in reduced damage from not getting the AD specific boots means most likely the AS boots aren't doing their job well enough to make that sacrifice feel impactful.

Are you stupid? The reason why everyone buys it, is because it is broken as hell, your auto attacks against someone who has tabis, is 88% of your ad, not 100%.

I see no link.

Pretty sure only Riot can see it, since it was on one of the optional things you could add into your discussion.

RalanrApr 18, 20172 votes

So...the entire post really gives little to discuss unless Riot engages in a video only they can see?

Linked it above now so you guys can see it too.

Hi Riot. What sence does Tabis make?

It makes you a flippin' ninja. Everyone wants to be a flippin' ninja.

It gives everyone Kalista passive and makes AD's do 0 dmg.

No, and no. Kalista's passive makes her autos deal 90% of their damage. Ninja Tabi make you take 12% less damage from other people's autos. And please stop exaggerating if you want to make a point. 0 damage? Really?

It's not a coincidence that every ADC and assassin buys it.

No, they don't. Caster ADCs have no need for it, and Assassins need it so that they can actually kill the ADC without them getting killed in the process.

There is nothing linked.

As I said, only Riot can see the link. You are Silver elo, pretty sure there is a lot of other players out there knowing more about the game than you, so stop pretending you have gameknowledge. As all high elo players says:Ninja Tabi is broken. It is simple, it is way too cost efficient.

You srsly post with a so called smurf on boards and than mock people based of their elo... nice attidude... scared about actual high elos proofing you the fool of the month, huh?

Besides that, 12% reduction =/= 0 dmg - therefore tabis are a nice tradeoff - you counter the Carry but be prepared to get destroyed by their peeling Teammates.

Obviously noone would like staple Tabis on Carrys but infact, they're not. Right now they're an option especially against Teams without AP-Threads (which deserves to be punished) but definitely not more than that.

For short, they're strong but fine and scale with the opponents Teambuilding-Fails.

Sigh kid. First of all, threats*. Second of all, you are not a high elo player, so in-fact you don't know how strong they actually are. If you think it is a coincidence that Challengers and pros want it nerfed, then you are definitely on that 420. All of you who thinks they don't need a nerf, should watch Beyond the rift, don't ask why, just do it. Imaqtpie:''I think that Riot has solved the ad role so it's at least decent, the only thing that needs to be nerfed is Tabis and then I think they finally solved this shit role.''.

That's because these challengers all want ADCs buffed without thinking of the consequences that will happen when/if game times increase.

What is the Kalista passive?

TyrekGoldenspearApr 18, 20171 votes

Her autos deal 10% less damage.

You know, but item 3047 make you take 12% less damage from autos.

Not the same thing.

Edit: Right, 12%. I don't know why I typed 10% despite knowing what it was.

2 Axes 1 VictimApr 18, 20171 votes

Tabis make you take 12%* less damage.

Hi again. For you guys that want to see the most important link, here it is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF2U-tf00TE 27:10-29:20. They are Challenger, so don't pretend that you guys know more and have gameknowledge, thanks.

....Did these challenger players seriously suggest armor pen boots? You know, the one kind of pen that was a nightmare in preseason 7 and everyone wanted less off? That armor pen?

RebonackApr 21, 20171 votes

Tabi is strong right now because there's only one significant magic damage source ( Ahri ) in the top ten most picked champions. So of course grabbing armor boots is going to be attractive when the whole enemy team has stacked AD.

And before the OP starts waving Elo around, I commonly kicked the shit out of Imaqtpie over in Dominionland before Riot went and deleted it, so I'm not particularly moved by your appeals to authority.
