AS slow question

General Veers·3/3/2015, 2:51:46 PM·1 votes·727 views

I'm looking for some help with understanding how AttackSpeed slows (randuin's, exhaust, frozen heart, etc) work. TBH the way the system is "worded" is quite confusing.

Are AS slows a % slow to your total AS, or to your base? IE, if I am at my base AS, will the magnitude of Randuin's AS slow be the same as if I was at 2.5 AS?
Is it possible to "mitigate" AS slows by building above the 2.5 AS cap? IE, If I am at 2.5 AS and everyone on the opposing team has Randuin's, will I gain any benefit from building more AS?

Thanks for your help!

1)Total

2)Not sure, however, it is never worth it to buy another attack speed item to mitigate atkspd slow, remember randuins only slows your atk spd if you attack it, so IF possible, go for the targets without it (unless you're getting chased by a champion with the item).

im pretty sure that when ur max attk speed and nidalee heals you, you get even more atk speed same goes for tristanas atk speed steroids

so your trying to say that if tristana gets 2.5 atk speed her atk speed steroid is completely useless ?

my bad i asumed they wouldnt make an ability wich becomes totaly useless when buying items like that

i gues it be an easy mistake for a new player to make to buy as much atk speed as possible and max out her atk speed steroid asuming the ability will stil help
