All "True" should be deleted

True damage, true invisibility, true it true that. Everything should have a counter nothing can be 100 % good. just balance the things and stop creating "TrUe next bs"

Make a TrUe AoE, will be amazing riot.

Defense is too strong? Balance the numbers stop being lazy. Pink ward can counter invisible? how about a progression cost? the more you buy there more they cost but the will get more range. So you want to counter the invisible guy but you have to pay more but you will get more vision so you dont feel so bad and the invisible guy will make you spend money on wards. (Just an idea I had in 10 seconds probably is not good).

Just stop all the True bs and all that damage.

Just wait for true armor, it reduces true damage

But does nothing against truer damage

True stealth is dumb. Just have a stealth system and stick with it. This is why they did remove obscured.

True damage is fine. You can't beat it through stacking stats, and there's nothing wrong with that.

There are certain things that should be true though. And "true" isnt bad, when done correctly.

Example: True damage is a tank shredding tool, that certain people have because their damage potential would be otherwise unable to scale with the defensive potential. Ahri having it on her return stroke of Q is fair, since the tanks have plenty of time to dodge the return, if not the whole thing. Cho's execute dealing true damage is fair in the sense that it's an execute, meaning you have to effectively land everything else probably multiple times before it's useful. If the enemy isn't low enough, it's not going to kill anyway and you're using an ultimate ability at that point without the payoff. Plus, you have to be in melee range to use it, and he's a giant freaking monster whose entire design is to consume everything. Pretty sure being eaten alive would be pretty much exactly that bad.

Shaco's invisibility is fair because in many cases, he's using it reactively, or as a way to engage a gank. Though it's pretty toxic when paired with such a short cd blink, the invis part isn't the problem there...and honestly, there's another who's like 5x worse. Shaco is more annoying than unfair.

But then...you get to the point it's not used correctly. Post 16 Kayle just casually throwing true damage around like Halloween candy. Vayne dealing %hp true damage while damn near permanently invis and untargetable. That moment they had to change Akali because her "obscurity" or whatever-the-hell they called it was allowing her to bully people under their own towers without taking any damage. Wind Wall's 4 seconds of true nullifying any projectiles from any direction while the cocky bastard murders entire teams since half the enemy can't even hit him anymore. Certain things, yes, are just entirely uncalled for.

True Damage existing reduces total damage in the game.

If you want something to deal 100 damage to a tank that takes 50% reduced damage, that same ability will do 150 damage to a squishy who only takes 25% reduced damage.

It gets even worse when you realize that 100 damage is only 1/30th the tanks total HP pool if they have 3000 HP, where as the 150 is 1/13th of a squishy's total HP pool at 2k HP, making it far worse than just a 50 damage difference.

Where as if you have true damage, you are just doing 100 to everything, meaning squishies are taking less damage total than they would have taken to make tanks take the same damage.

Or just for fun we could forget about armor and magic resistance and just make everything true damage.

I've felt for a while that we might as well at this point. And put a heal on anything that does damage too. Also just for fun.

WE SHOULD HAVE TRUE EXECUTION FROM 100% TO 0 WITH ONE BUTTON!
