True damage/%Health damage - then and now

In Season 5 there were 15 Champions with true damage in their kits (for combat): Vayne Olaf Chogath Darius Ahri Twitch Zyra KogMaw MasterYi RekSai Irelia Corki Gangplank Garen Fiora

Since Season 5 there have been 15 champions released: Jhin AurelionSol Taliyah Kled Ivern Camille Xayah Rakan Kayn Ornn Zoe Kaisa Pyke Neeko [SYLAS]

Of the new champions only 2 have built in true damage: Camille Zoe

However, 6 have built in % health damage: Jhin Kled CamilleKayn Ornn Kaisa

But there were already many champions who had % health damage in their kits (over 20 in Season 5)

I was bored and looked into this, I figured I'd share. I think true damage and % health damage is fine, it's just too strong. Deleting tanks and squishies alike, allowing some champions to build full tank while hitting like a truck, and not having much counterplay when combined with some item passives/actives and runes such as conqueror.

I looked into this because a lot of people have been complaining that every champion being released now has true damage or % health damage in their kit, which isn't true. Hopefully I am not too far from accurate in this post.

Also, Zoe's true damage doesn't really count since it's dependent on the post-mitigation damage dealt by the triggering attack, so the exact value is still reduced by their resistances. It does true damage just to make it so that it actually doubles incoming damage, rather than having their resistances affect the damage twice.

Corki no longer has True Damage in his kit...

Zyra no longer has True Damage in her kit.

Honestly with Infinity Edge losing it's True damage and Conqueror possibly being removed, I feel True damage will be in a reasonable spot.

One word: Conquerors.

But honestly, the problem with it (other than the insane amounts of damage in general) is that most of the champions that have it, do not need it and should not have it. Why does Ahri have true damage? It literally makes no sense at all. And that is just one.
