Rammus item 3075 item 3075 item 3075 item 3075 item 3075 item 3075

I'm pretty sure that's about 300 total AD at least, probably higher.

Krinu15 votes

115 (base AD) + 26.125 (base armor) + 150 (thornmail armor) + 15 (runes) = 306.125

Yup, about 300.

what about when u activate w, the armor it gives scales with armor no?

Krinu1 votes

I didn't factor in activated abilities or things like the rift buff. If you want to include those, his W increases his AD by 35, bringing the subtotal to 341.125.

Throw in the 6% AD buff from Dragon and you're sitting at 361.59.

What if it's dragon five with baron and you have a Taric and AP Janna on your team?

Time to petition Riot to add items with negative attack speed, so we can itemize against Thornmail Rammus.

If Hecarim built pure 100% AD possibly. not sure what the max speed is with a full out team, so cant really do the math.

I think you missed the "without building AD" part.

Graves gets reload speed. Yasuo does 20% less crit damage.

what?

TheLastShadow4513 votes

I was answering his questions. Graves doesn't really get AS from building AS, instead he gets reload speed. Yasuo has 20% less crit damage.

So I don't know why you would say what because what I said is fairly simple to understand.

didn't know yasuo does less damage. its 10 % off crit. so 20% total damage. he does full crit. and graves does get attack speed. its a combination of reload speed and attack speed between his attacks.

A little more info, the attack speed he builds only affects the reload slightly, the rest of it is front loaded into the time between his attacks.

10% on autoattacks,which is a joke compared to double crit chance

Ariel the Cruel3 votes

his Q also does 25% reduced crit.

TyroneWatermelon3 votes

But his core damage deals 10% reduced which is nothing.

Ariel the Cruel3 votes

I'm not defending his crit passive, it leads to counter-intuitive power curves that make him incredibly frustrating (more so when you add the bonus armor pen from his ult). But the crit reduction isn't "nothing".

He deals 180% AD on crit - 225% with IE. His Q does 150% AD on crit - 187.5% with IE (+20-100 damage based on rank). He does pay for the double crit-chance with his late-game DPS. Personally, I don't think his late-game DPS is worth the early-game safety net; but that's not a numbers issue.

TyroneWatermelon1 votes

Don't forget that combined with lord dominik's regards you have almost 0 bonus armor

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

Last whisper Actually applies after Last breath - they're not added. So 100 armor -> 50 -> 35 200 -> 100 -> 70 It's special cased (I think - Can't see the code).

But his ult is still gives a lot of stats which contributes to his awkward power curves.

TyroneWatermelon1 votes

You are wrong m8. Copy pasting the wiki content I see. Lord dominik's regards has changed by the way. Yasuo's ult effect combined with 40% bonus armor penetration penetrates 70% of the target's bonus armor,so if a target got 200 armor,and the bonus is 120 as usually most champs got 80 armor at level 18,means you penetrate 84 armor,and then 7% armor left thanks to mastery,then 100% crit chance with 15% bonus overall damage(because no chamoion would get 120 bonus armor without more than 500 health built in. The 15% bonus damage to targets with more 500 health than you completely shatters Yasuo's crit "penality"

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

I never factored LDR. You talked about bonus armor, so I only factored the LW passive (30% bonus armor pen). I also didn't factor base armor because it was irrelevant to the discussion. Though on second glance, I did overlook that LDR and MR have an extra 10%. (I need to play AD's more often.) So... 100 -> 50 -> 30 200 -> 100 -> 600

LDR's damage amp in general is kinda silly. That's not really on Yasuo.

Celeste Benal1 votes

10% reduced damage on AAs is 10% reduced damage. You can't crit without an AA or ability. It means that a crit with IE that would normally do 250% damage deals only 225%. A crit without IE deals 180% damage instead of 200%. Its pretty substantial.

I feel as if item 3142 will be an incredibly good item on him after he gets typical crit items.

I dont think he is out on pbe yet, so how do you know he gets more AD from building things like item 3046 than from building straight ad?

Because thats what has already been said on the information he was revealed with. It's been said that he gets AD from AS items. So a standard AD build that would include AS items to increase AS, they would instead increase his overall AD and leave his AS the same. item 3046 item 3085 item 3087 item 3094 So supposedly he can incorporate these standard ADC items that are supposed to give AS and crit are supposed to give him more AD. DId you not read his information?

Penns2 votes

Nah I know he gets "more" AD, but I meant: How can you know he gets more AD from building AS/ crit items than any other champ would get from building full AD? Because OP wrote "the highest AD in the game without building AD".

Celeste Benal1 votes

I'm willing to bet that since AS and crit chance both increase dps multiplicatively by their respective cumulative bonuses, that it will be a 1.0 ratio for both AS and crit chance. ie: total AD x (1+bonus AS) x (1+crit chance). This is already how to calculate AA damage over time anyway. So I see no reason to change it.

The interesting part will be if it actually increases his AD, or if it is just some sort of AA modifier or on-hit. If it actually increases his AD, then any AD-scaling abilities will also see amplified damage. Building something like Bloodthirster late could theoretically double his damage across the board.

It all really depends on how his damage will be calculated. Until we know that, its hard to theory craft how to itemize Jhin.

When he launches on the PBE I will check the scalings and let you know. This is probably one of the biggest questions about him.

Penns1 votes

I havent seen him with only attack speed/ crit items, but he probably wont reach a lot since it increases his AD by x% and not by a flat amount.

yeah

a ideal build would be 2x zeal item 3x b.f sword item and boots

replace a b.f sword item with LDR if the enemy stacks more than 2 armor items

So basically, we want a bunch of attack speed and critical strike on this guy, with a little bit of AD mixed in there.

So, a build like: item 3006 item 3087 item 3094 item 3085 item 3153 item 3031 This gives him 110% critical strike chance, 175% attack speed, and 90 extra attack damage. Im assuming here, but if he gets 1% extra attack damage for every 1% critical strike chance and 1% attack speed, thats 285% increased attack damage, making this give him 346.5 attack damage, excluding base AD. Average ADC base AD is around 100 so that,s about another 385 plus 346.5, so that's about 731.5 attack damage, rounded to 732. That's a LOT of attack damage. Then again, he will likely be shooting a little bit less than once each second since he can't gain attack speed or critical strike every attack, just every 4th attack. That 4th attack will hurt like hell with Infinity Edge... likely. He also gains movement speed per critical strike which I'm not even gonna try and calculate. If he does it right, he will likely be getting the 4th proc and then going super sonic speeds for a short few seconds. I personally can't wait to see how this works.

Tis a nice day2 votes

I'd probably swap out BotRK with something else due to his inevitably slow AS. RapidFire cannon would be amazing on him though especially if he can time in his 4th attack.

He also gains MS on crit and he gains more MS the more AS he has

Hay5eed1 votes

It's not a riddle. It's really simple. Take Graves remove buckshot add two shots add Caitlyn's passive, but instead of 7 shots, it's 4 fourth shot is a guarenteed crit Crit's provide MS.

Granted, it's a lot to take in, it isn't hard to understand. It's not like an ADC that gains AS from max health, or does damage based off of armor, or gains movespeed off of AP. His build is going to be a TAD different then most ADC's, but it will still be recognizable as an ADC build
