Just wondering, I got 1300 armor with Rammus and it only went to 93%.

The formula is 100 / (100 + armor)

The percentage equivalent of the answer is the % of physical damage you'd take.

To reach 0% damage taken, or 100 % damage reduction, your armor value would have to be infinite

There's a formula somewhere on google. My maths are really poor, but basically you can never reach 100% due to the equation form.

There's diminishing returns on defenses.

Meaning?

The more of the stat you have, the less effective it is. In a lot of cases once you get to around 150-200 Armor / MR, it's better to start getting health as that health becomes more effective per point due to the damage reduction from defenses.

Damage Dealt = 100/(100+Armor) * Raw Damage

You would need infinite Armor to make the first number actually equal zero, and thus take 0 damage.

Well Amumu E passive lets him take 0.

The maximum amount of souls Thresh can collect is 999,999, granting him 749,999 bonus ability power and 749,999 bonus armor (99.99% damage reduction, reduced to 99.98% when hit by Last Whisper)

From the wikia.

For all intents and purposes thresh is the highest at 99.99% with his passive as said before and amumu with his E passive and a lot of armor is capable of taking 0 physical damage from minions (if were not counting baron empowered/super)
