True Armor?

Bonipherus··2 votes·860 views

Armor that couldn't be reduced or penetrated.

What would happen if this were implemented in some way. Not in an abundance by any means though. Like a mastery that took x% bonus armor and made it true or an item that gave some.

This is just a question I thought of and wanted to know why something like this doesn't exist in some form. Thank you for your time.

No.

DPS Champions are designed to kill Tanks, and if % penetrations aren't enough to get through them, we're going to need to way overbuff their base values in order to allow them to continue their job on a balanced team. We know what happens when a champions base kit is too strong/imbalanced in the wrong areas KogMaw.

and for that matter we have % damage reduction (AKA Bond of Stone, item 3047 , item 3143 )

Some tanks are really hard to kill if they get ahead already because % pens dont work as they used to do.

If anyone is interested you can check my item, it is for AP bruisers. can you see my custom item? I've made an icon for it! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/buOIBEzA-the-phoenixs-talon-icon-made-by-me-3

I think it would be strange to implement. One, it would have to be a unique bonus or an extremely low bonus to prevent abuse on certain full tanks, Malphite comes to mind. Also that it would render armor pen items useless with a player just having an item rendered completely useless.

Yeah that's why I think it would have to be from one item and/or mastery or something.

Because unkillable tanks should never be a thing.

Just look at Tahm Kench.

Well, because the thing that makes true damage scary and worthwhile is that you can't negate it. Let's be honest, nobody picks Vayne because of her roll or displacement.

Also, you may not realize it, but the game needs damage you can't stop more than it needs defense you can't penetrate.

But..if True armor can't be reduced or penetrated, and True damage also can't be reduced and penetrate everything, WHAT'S TRUE?

Pure damage is a thing that fountain turret uses.

Is it? I thought it was hard-coded health loss on the fountain and that turret was just an animation?

Someone can pull aggro and tower dive (you really shouldn't, but you can), so I think it's an actual turret. Maybe you're right, though. Regardless, the fountain does pure damage.
