When you leave Gameplay boards for a couple of hours...

...and come back to see not one, not two, but THREE posts about infernal drake right next to each other

Like... what? This was just ridiculously fast as to when people started up complaining about it again. It would at least not be bad if it was only one or whatever, but like... I was just looking at it in disbelief and checking them to make sure they were all about the same thing, in about 2 hour's time. And now I feel like i'm about to have to see posts about Infernal Drake for like the next few weeks or something...

But whatever, just had to vent about it, since it was just really fast and I was just like, how.

Thats because one person makes a thread, others see it get upvoted, then they copy paste the thread to try to farm upvotes.

The funny thing is people think they are 8% damage increase a piece... They're not... 8% AD and AP, but not all damage come from that.

And some champions don't even build a lot of, or any AD/AP

Lol yeah. Tank champions like Nautilus Sion Blitzcrank get more out of ocean drakes. Yet people think that infernals are straight up better than other dragons...

Or a support like Soraka, Nami or ~~Singed~~ Leona, who get only the mildest benefits from it.

And on champions such as jhin, 8% more ad is a hella more than it actually is.

No... 8% AD is never more than 8% damage. That wouldn't even make sense... 8% is only 8% as far as autoattacks are concerned, but that is only if you don't have any on hits. On hits like kingsblade and static shiv won't get a boost.

So no, Jhin does not get +8% damage from 8% AD and AP. It won't increase static on his AAs, and it won't increase base damage on his abilities.

jhin is actually one of the outliers that gets a pretty significant boost in damage from infernal....

This man did the complete calculations. Jhin gets a 12% relative damage boost with just one Drake. Draven gets a solid 8% bonus as well.

... Right well if I understand that right a bug is causing it to do something it should never do? Assuming he is right... didn't go through all that massive thing.

It's not supposed to be that way. Mostly an abuse case.
