Gragas Q 70% damage to minions WTF IS THIS

Laughing FishDec 29, 201521 votes

That is nothing next to Trying to figure out how much damage Lee's ult will do:

collusion Damage: 200 / 400 / 600 (+ 200% bonus AD) (+ 12 / 15 / 18% of kicked target's bonus health)

wut?

WHAT ARE THOOSSSEEE numbers?

SolitairDec 29, 20151 votes

200/400/600 is by level I assume, then (+ 200% of bonus AD ) (+ by level 12/15/18% of kicked target's bonus health)

Try someone like Riven or Garen ult's.

Took me longer then it should have to figure out what a good kill spot would be.

dfg garen had to do the most math

I actually think the % is about 25% for the maximum execute number on Riven's Wind Slash. Either that or 35%.

can soraka permaheal in it???

IcyPepperDec 30, 20151 votes

No.

Kindred's ult does not allow any unit to fall below 10% of their maximum health. Guess what Soraka's W costs?

As a bonus, once a unit has reached the threshold they cannot be healed while in the zone until the zone ends and heals everybody inside. So that means if Soraka spams her W, and falls to 10% health, she cannot use her W at all because she's locked at exactly 10% health. No health regen, her Q can't heal her, and her ult will heal everyone who isn't in Kindred's ult at 10% health but not her.

but it doesnt matter cause if your fighting against kindred u should just use janna to shove her out of her ult along with her team and kill them all. . .cause your janna and u cna do that =D

Why don't more people pick Kindred to gib Soraka and her heals I wonder...the meta sheep haven't discovered it yet perhaps? Too busy trying to one combo her as Lee Sin and be "ONE PUNCH MAN"

IcyPepperDec 30, 20151 votes

Well, to be honest, if you're playing Kindred it's probably easier to kill Soraka than to rely on your ultimate.

There's nothing stopping her from ulting after the ult's duration, after all.

TaoistMasterDec 30, 20152 votes

you mean yesterday when the teamfight was: bard ult, kindred ult, sej ult, then the other teams kindred ult.

No one had any idea what was going on after no one died for 2 mins.

I just refilled my coffee cup, took a few sips.. then morg snared me so i finished my taxes

I love how they act as if they are making extremely calculated and mathematical balance changes like lowering damage per level by 2% and 3% after level 12 with a flat reducion of 1 damage at all levels, and then they do random shit like allow Darius to heal 1k hp with a single q.
