Something very interesting that I've noticed...

Whenever there is a discussion about ADCs and someone (thankfully) brings out some math, I see an interesting set of choices made.

This doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough to annoy me.

Someone will compare a full build vayne with items like , calculate all the damage amplifiers that she gets in her kit from her Q, W, and R, and then finally compare that against a 200 armor generic tank.

Can you see an issue with this? Because I do.

Most champions aren't just wooden planks with items slapped on. They have their own abilities with their own damage reduction.

For example, can block AA damage within a zone. this guy's ultimate is pretty crazy for tanking. built in damage reduction+resists. built in resists

Also a lot of vital item passives are forgotten about, like tabis and randuins.

Finally, people usually botch the math a little bit by forgetting that base armor doesn't apply to armor pen.

Forgetting about these important parts of the damage equation can lead to positively ridiculous numbers like 900, 1000, or even 1400 damage per auto when those kinds of damages just do not happen.

Now these mistakes in calculation don't magically make ADCs okay, but fixing these mistakes will help stop the propagation of bad information on the boards.
