Atk Spd: % into atk/sec

1 Wing·1/28/2015, 3:59:53 AM·3 votes·668 views

I want to know if there's an easy way to know how much attack speed will improve my attacks per second.

I want to max out at 2.5 attacks per second, and if I'm at 2.25 right now, then it would be nice if there was an easy way to know what item I should get to get me there; or what I should trade on my build to put me right at the max without going over.

Is it the same for every character? Does a character with naturally high attack speed benefit more from attack speed gear?

Thanks.

To answer your two direct questions, no and yes.

As Duke said, % attack speed -> att/sec is based soley on the base attack speed of the character and does not change as you level up or because of runes or masteries (which are all % att speed bonuses themselves). This is why some characters (notably Diana and Azir) have lower base attack speeds but something in their passive that directly buffs their attack speed or a higher attack speed growth. It allows the character to have the attack speed without items that Riot wants while keeping them from scaling as much from runes, masteries, and items.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Attack_speed and http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_champions%27_attack_speed are some good starting points for the information you are asking for. The last column in the table shows how much bonus AS a champion needs beyond their level up bonus to reach 2.5. This includes runes, masteries, items, and any skill buffs.

attack speed is alway relative to a chracters base speed, without level modifier (that is different from all other stats!)

so if you are missing 0,25 attacks.

Shaco needs 0.25/0.694 = 36% (+262% total) Graves needs 0.25/0.625 = 40% (+300% total)

Thats one of the fastest and one of the slowest champs, so you could say for every 0,25 Attack missing get +35 % AS.

But keep i min that the champs have abbilities and get + % AS per level.
