Your obsession with % damages and % damage reduction is one of the most bipolar actions ever

And that says a lot, because over the years you have been officially crowned the kings of bipolar statements - actual actions.

Let's see why:

You nerfed tank items because tankiness was "too much" in S2. You increased the effectiveness of penetrations. You then nerfed HP in items. You then nerfed every form of reducing incoming damage, first with the FH nerf, lately with the Randuin's nerf. How Banshee's is still not hurt is beyond me, I assume ADCs aren't hurt much for it, so they didn't compain about it. (yet)

And then I have the bad luck of playing a game where the enemy team had Maokai and Braum on the same team.

Do you understand how tanky they were? Can you just imagine it?

Replace Braum with Gragas or Kassadin and we have the same problem.

Their tankiness put S2 tankiness to shame. And guess what, they did considerable damage as well, since one of them scales with his own HP and the other scales with his opponent's HP.

But there's one catch here. Their tankiness was unmitigated, impossible to deal with and/or circumvent in any way.

After seeing that, I've lost the last drop of faith I had in your balancing team.

I thought you'd learn by now how problematic % dmg reductions are ever since the Gragas fotm craze, I guess not.

This game seems to be heading towards being called "LoL, the game where if you aren't an ADC and don't have a % dmg or dmg reduction skill, bend over"

Can we finally have penetration apply to those forms of damage reduction in SOME way? Even by half the normal amount would suffice.

Sure, Braum and Mao deal some damage. But you should be able to ignore them for the most part - if you kill their carries, those two have no hope of dealing enough damage to win a teamfight.

I take percentage damage increases on percentage health damage to deal with percentage damage reduction.

I've never experienced a high elo situation where this happened, but down here in the *Bronzy-Silvery *area, Mordekaiser item 3128 deals more damage that can be reduced by Braum Maokai

I do however, think that something should be done about Braum/Maoki; they can carry a game too well.
