200-300 armor means nothing....

Why am I not allowed to survive against an ad with that much armor. Please give me a good reason.

you are allowed to survive, you are not allowed to become immune to them though, having a healthy mix of HP and armor is better than just simply stacking armor and building the right armor items depending on who you are facing is also better building random armor items that would do nothing to whoever you are facing

Honestly though, nothing can ignore a Yasuo with item 3036 . Nearly 95% armor pen, plus 100% crit chance from to other items make him really tough to ignore.

Also, Vayne, Fiora, Master Yi and Gangplank really don't give a fuck about your armor. You just gotta kill them first.

Armor penetration does not stack up additively (to my knowledge), so the value is actually lower. I don't see Yasuo build LW.

If you have 100 armour and Yasuo ults you, I believe he ignores what, 45%?

You'll have an effective 55 armour from Yasuo. Then you incorporate* LW which ignores something like 35% of your armour now.

So it's really (100/1.45)/1.35

Something like that.

Yeah, but his it ignores 50%. Which cuts it to 50 armor, then cuts it again by Lord Doms 45%, but it is only bonus armor. It would bring it to about ~30 armor left, but only if it's s mix of bonus and case armor.

In the case of some 300 armor, like with Ramus and Poppy, it cuts 300 into only 150, which is a massive cut, then further ignores 45% of what's left that's been built by items or their passives, which would take it down to like ~85?

I mean, that's still a huge cut in what you've invested in so that you don't die, only for it to be literally worthless in terms of gold and time.

ya you're right. Yasuo tears through armour like no tomorrow, but a 95% shred just seemed way to extreme to me haha

Because penetration,and % hp damage items, just hard outscales armor, especially if you add crit on top of that.

You make a good point, but if you REALLY want to lose your sanity then try to play against them with a 60-70 armor mid lane champion. xD!

maybe because pure stats won't and shouldn't auto win you everything?

GigglesOSep 7, 20171 votes

So you are telling me adc's having 100% crit, and super high damage isn't having pure stats?

ShadòwSep 7, 20171 votes

they still need to stay alive to pull off damage.

ADC's general primary job is to kill tanks as quickly as possible.

Tanks > Assassins Assassins > ADC's ADC's > Tanks

^ That is the general rule with many exceptions and variables.

LIkely because % armor pen as well as the fact that tanks have decent base damage without scaling so if you can get on top of them (Say as someone like Malphite or Maokai) one rotation of your spells will nearly kill them. Their job is single-target damage from range. Tanks are supposed to counter mages, mages counter ADs, and ADs counter tanks. It's a fine triangle.
