How many people would quit this game if true damage is removed?

True damage is obviously created as a sales point for those who can't think beyond the small vision they have.

So just how much would rito be fucked if they made LoL into a strategy based game?

Tagts what i thought too, then i started maxing e in lane, and got 300+ true damage on a 6 sec cd.

I had an ARAM game where 55% of my damage to champions as Olaf was true damage. E max is pretty scary.

Honestly, people never expect it. They dodge my q, thinking that its what im maxing, and then i smack em in the face, and 1/4 of their hp melts away.

I once got a guy to actually shit his pants because of how surprised he was

Yeah which is legit countered by Health. The problem with true damage is when they decide to put a %max HP component to it.

True damage has no weakness, has no enemy, it just owns w.e gets in its way.

That's not entirely correct. Vayne's true damage has little to no weakness, same with Fiora. Most true damage, however, can be beaten by straight health. Not saying any true damage or fair or unfair, merely point out that flat true damage can technically be built against.

Edit: Should have read the entire thread. Not going to change anything though, I'll accept the minus 1's.

I'd like Sunfire Cape/Bami's Cinder and Liandry's Torment to give out True Damage instead of Magic Damage.

Yeah, it's too unfair atm, giving true damage to certain champs etc.

Oxbridge1 votes

No it's not. You just have to CC those champs who have it and lock them down. True damage scales down eventually.

True damage has only 1 weakness and thats HP, but hey, Vayne even does % HP damage....

Well, Vayne is the top adc around. And given that her play rate is so high, most folks who play this game are easily going to be able to develop countermeasures against her. It's the same with all popular champions including Yasuo, Thresh, etc.

Yeah, which is what also makes true damage so effective, you have to devise new strategies in order to take her down, which require additional effort and focus, while, your adc, well lets say Vayne's jungle is Vi, she just ults your ashe, and well, gg wp.

Where as vayne has 3 people chasing her, failing to do anything if they miss their stuns etc.

Even if true damage in countered, with cc etc, it has still made the difference since you need the additional focus.

Not unless you have a highly skilled support main at your side. I am, of course, speaking about myself here. :D

How do you get more strategy by removing diversity?
