Pryotra's Mathcrafters Club! League Mathcrafting inside! Request at will! Feel free to join in!
I was inspired by a recent post asking about the value of a certain item passive, and thought, "You know what would be cool? A place were lazy or busy people could ask others with time on their hands to do the hard math to help them with league!" Hence, this thread!
#IT'S MATH TIME!
The idea here is to help one other with math, or request Math Problems related to league balance. This is NOT a place to get people to do your math homework. Trust me, we will know the difference. If you are good with math, FEEL FREE TO HELP! Just to make it easier on everyone, lets get some base rules to help each other get more MATH solved!!!
#RULES Requesters:
- Be polite - No one needs to help you find out just how many minions you need to last hit in order to afford a Trinity Force. Keep in mind that you are the one asking for a favor, and if people don't feel like you appreciate it, they do not have to answer you.
- Be patient - Just because you have to leave for school/work in 5 minutes doesn't mean anyone is on, or can even type fast enough to show you the way to find out just how many times Baron can spawn per match. When you post here, just realize it might be a little bit before someone is on to see it and answer it.
- Keep it League related - I've already said this, but let me reiterate. This place is to find out math relating to league and balance. Not a place for someone to do your Cal III homework. If you word questions trying to get around this rule, people will know, and most likely will not help. That said, If you are just curious about just how much AP it is possible to get on Fiora, then ask away!
Examples: Good -
Hey, at how much health does buying armor become more effective, or vice versa? Thanks!

Hey Buttholes, I need you to answer this Question quick, as I gotta be places. Anyways, If I have 20 Teemos, and they each bought 5 Rabadons each, how many Rabadons would have been bought?
Mathmaticians:
- Show your work - This might sound weird, but alot of people really benefit off of seeing the steps. While I'm very impressed that you can know exactly how much AP that Galio will get after a rabadon's and a Guardian Angel off the top of your head, but just posting the number might not help the guy who is asking all the way. Which means he asks more questions. Which means more MATH. Maybe that's not a bad thing though...
- Be Gracious - Congrats! You discovered the cheapest way to max out Yasuo's crit chance possible! While it's great that you accomplished this, there is no point in being rude about it. Simply show them how you got there, don't spend a paragraph gloating. If you want to pat yourself on the back, there is ALWAYS instagram.

Good question! We can start by finding the value of those two stats, then comparing effective health values to find your answer!
Insert math here
Now, lets cross refence those values so that you can find generally where that change happens!
Mathing intensifies

The answer is 100, dummy! I can't believe you had to even ASK, I did it in my head. It took longer for me to type this than it did to figure it out!
Alrighty, let's get this party STARTED! Start asking question that myself and others can MATH our way through! Have fun guys!
