Another thornmail discussion...

Ok so if I did this math correctly 25% of 127 plus 15% of 130 is 51.25. So tell me why sivir took 158 from thornmail. I would have a pic to go with this, but it's on my phone and idk where to put it. In the pic I'm riven and I have 5 thornmail and 1 hextech gunblade, my total armor is 591, and sivir did 130 to me and took 158 from thornmail. Also the 158 has (20) in white above it. Maybe it's because I didnt factor in the damage that was reduced, if so whats the math for that. I was thinking that maybe since it don't stack it reads each thronmail individually turning 51.25 into 256.25 (51.25×5) and boom hits sivir and gets reduced to 158.

your math is off. 591/4 is 147, take that and add it to 15% of 130 which is 19.5, what she took was 166.5, take into account her MR, 158 sounds about right. my math is also off because I didn't take into account your natural armor, the passive is based off of bonus armor.

I understand the numbers now and how 127 came to be and my theory was wrong. It wasn't 591/4 it was 509/4, 100 armor for each thornmail plus my 9 runes. The 591 includes the base armor. In the "25% of your Bonus Armor (127) plus 15% of incoming damage" the bonus armor math is already done for you and is the yellow number in the ( ). For the incoming damage you just need total damage of the attacker basic attack. I was confused at first cause I thought they took 25% of 127 and 15% of 130

so we are at an understanding, glad we could work this out.
