I may be very confused but 3800% less damage??

IAmWoralo··38 votes·7,647 views

https://i.imgur.com/tVvDvfE.png So I came about this in a game. 8 Seconds with 3800% less damage? Ehhh? I mean if damage is 999 and it's 100% less, it's 0 right? So 3800% less is what, ultimate thornmail? Also I couldn't find anything about this in the patch notes, but only in the upcoming PBE, which states a 35% damage reduction?

Am I missing something here?

EDIT: FYI This is not on PBE but live.

Our bad - the experimental PBE version of Locket's description, with a silly DR number, made it to live English servers except NA.

We're in the process of fixing this.

So if we combo'd it with thornmail, it's essentially take 0 damage and they are killing themselves..... sounds balanced.


Jokes aside that would be an interesting item mechanic: For the next X seconds you take no damage and Y% of damage dealt is returned to the attacker. It would be like an hourglass/thornmail item but you can still move, it could impliment a self-silence so that the user cannot cast abilities while the active is being used and if you wanted to prevent ADC and APC's from using it you could use your champion classifications to dictate which champs can and cannot purchase it. It would be something like hiding melee only items when you play a ranged champion and hiding ranged only items when you play a melee champion.

Probably a bad idea to make items purchasable only by specific classes. Specially since the division will be somewhat arbitrary in lots of cases. Gnar, for example, can go full tank, full damage, or a mix in between. Would he be able to purchase the item? What about juggnernauts?

Also, putting Kayle ult on steroids in an item sounds like a REALLY frustrating thing to deal with.

What Is Smite1 votes

I'd say for all intensive purposes, the item wouldn't be purchasable to champions who have access to both Range and Melee forms. Furthermore there are only 3 cases of where the division is arbitrary (Jayce/Kayle/Gnar). So unless Riot reworks a few of the champions to have both ranged and melee auto attacks hiding items in the store for one group of champions is not a big deal but more of a QOL buff as there is a few less items to look through.

I can understand putting Kayle ult on an item seems frustrating, but I never did specify how long it would last, how much damage it would return, or how long the CD of the item would be once used. I specifically omitted that information as to allow for player input on how it could be balanced.

Dayum right it's your bad. at least be lucky to consider that I can tell it was meant to either by 38 or 35% less damage.

either way, this new item 3190 seems to be pretty good against AoE

Well look at the bright side bro, imagineZiggsMissFortune or Karthus ult's you, and you pop the new item 3190 up. then you deny those sneaky AoE ult's in teamfights.

Besides, can't someone have some fun teasing riot for a typo.

Why should they be lucky that random board player xyz could guess based off of previous iterations what it was supposed to be

Yah that's what i thought somebody forgot something when you pulled the changes from the patch oops lol. Hope it isn't very hard to fix.

Fun fact: AD Carries in bronze that build essence reaver and 3 zeal items without building IE or LW because their noob toxic piece of shit jungler is telling them how to play and that's very rude, oppressive, sexist and toxic actually heal with their autos the enemy tanks/drain tanks especially when they run boneplate+second wind, so those numbers on new locket aren't out of reality at all.

Funny thing is my tooltip got fixed once I got the item available to cast (I was dead when purchasing it), but there was someone else saying it didn't fix it for them.

Very much wrong. I just played a game where I used it. It still provides a shield. It is not a damage reduction yet.

Riot confirmed it was accidentally live in most regions but not na.

Where was that?

Look at the red post on this page. The description is live in most places but the active isn't hence the ops confusion. But it is "live" in a way

It's not on live because they pulled it from the patch. Don't spread false information.

It's simple OP, your damage is reduced to 0 and your attack heals them for 3700% of the damage

Does this mean it won't scale with health anymore?

so I can no longer buy it on Renekton? [sg-soraka]

It scales better with health now. 35% of 3.5k is a lot more than 35% of 2k.

Is there a Rioter rocking a Cooler Master TKL in the office? :)

I make that assumption because I own one and occassionally I will press the double zero (00) without using the numlock to shift the key back to a down arrow.

If so, good on ya! It's a great keyboard!

3800% less damage.

You'd have damage so negative you'd get instablapped by even a minion auto.

Yes. This is totally real and not a joke. Don't do the math though.

Actually it's useful against Zoe since she one-shots people.
