How much armor would you have to have for Iceborn Gauntlet to cover the entire map?

Obviously not possible but I'm genuinely curious

Let's do maths! Summoner's Rift is 19000 units diagonally, Nexus to Nexus. Let's say you need around ~20000 Units to cover the entire map, diagonally.

UNIQUE – SPELLBLADE: After using an ability, your next basic attack (on-hit) creates an ICY ZONE under the target for 2 seconds. This zone has a radius of 180 (+ 55% bonus armor) units. (1.5 second cooldown.)

The formule is Icy Zone = 180+ 55% Bonus armor. We need 20 000 units. So, 180 + 55% Bonus Armor = 20 000 We take the bonus armor as X, since that's what we are searching for. 180 + 0.55X = 20 000 0.55X = 19820 X = 36036.3636364

You'll need 36037 BONUS armor to cover the whole map.

which is ~ 720740 worth of gold, or 48050 Tresh souls.

EDIT: It's probaly WAY more tresh shouls, as the comment says. I couldn't find the proper maths so it's without the diminishing power.

EDIT II: Diminishing power is removed, it is 48050 Tresh souls

Did you calculate the power diminishing of Thresh souls? The more souls you have, the less armor they give

EDIT: The Armor/AP per soul is flat for a while now.

I didn't, I didn't find the proper maths to calculate that, but I'll try to find it!

Actually that was removed. It used to be that Thresh souls gave 1 AP/armor and then diminished as you collected them, but now they give 0.75 armor and AP each and never diminish.

what are thresh souls? is that actually a thing

DeathBot666Oct 24, 20165 votes

Thresh's passive is that occasionally when a minion, or always when a large monster/champion dies, a soul is dropped. These souls give you 0.75 AP and armor. There is also probably my favorite easter egg in this game, where if you kill a champion which has a mount (EX: Nunu ), they drop 2 souls. 1 soul for willump (The yeti), and one for nunu. However, if you kill Sejuani , she only drops 1 soul. The soul of her boar. This is because sejuani is a ginger, and gingers don't have souls.

It's also now dawning on me that you MAY have been sarcastic, but I'm still posting this anyway.

Every Sej I've seen (barring a couple skins) has been blonde?

SSJTribeOct 24, 20161 votes

This is true. It's a joke because of Nunu and Willump giving two souls. When Sej and Bristle only gave one, people joked that it was because Sejuani was secretly a ginger, although it was most likely just an oversight. I think some people took the joke at face value though, and really think that Sej is a ginger now.

I just assumed it was because no one knows who the pig is.

DeathBot666Oct 24, 20162 votes

But she is a ginger. All you have to do is look at her picture, close one eye, stand on your left foot while balancing a gallon of strawberry milk in your right elbow, then go into paint and edit the photo and her true hair color will be revealed.

wasn't being sarcastic, actually didn't know about it

SpoofghoulOct 23, 20165 votes

they give flat power if im not mistaken

Meep ManOct 23, 20161 votes

I thought they removed that and just lessened the amount you gain per soul

akunalOct 23, 20161 votes

Now , who want to play thresh?

Gj with the math.

Life goals.

SpeedphoenixOct 23, 20162 votes

it's 20000 units for the whole map, but the RADIUS of the zone gives you that formula, so it should add up to 10 000 (significantly less)

WoonStruckOct 23, 20164 votes

~25k Thresh souls, then.

Vandrill needs to make a video of this.

Play Thresh and find out.

Gary B EnkelisOct 23, 20167 votes

Someone made those Thresh bots who automatically collected souls to set a record. That would be so hype to see with item 3025 .

Someone get Vandrill and also I want it to cover from Redside krugs to blueside base. Then watch someone die from large iceborn AOE.

He's done the largest possible but I don't think he'll do the entire map

Thresh Not possible you say?

TheDelightedOct 23, 20165 votes

you'll have to wait and see with the sandbox tool :3

WoonStruckOct 23, 20163 votes

item 3025 item 3075 Would give you 565 armor, plus 62 possible from runes, plus 5% from unyielding. So you can start out with 627+5%. With Galio and Orianna, you can add another 120, granting 747+5%. Legendary guardian, 642+5%. Add in Braum, 667.

Now comes Taric. 6 Thornmails and runes+Masteries means 711 bonus armor. Add in base armor, 792. W bonus, 952. 190 armor granted to Thresh.

So Thresh can start with 857 armor. Only 21~k souls to go. (16000 armor) Yeah, that seems too low, but Unyielding gives massive benefits in this case. Lowers required armor by over 1k.
