Hey devs quick question: With all the really specific numbers in the rune system, it would be nice to know how rounding works. For example: if I get all 0.65% cd glyphs, then my CD reduction is 0.65 * 9 = 5.85%. Does this round to 6% for the game? My goal is 6% so with masteries and 25% cd reduc item, I hit the 40% cap.


Thanks!

(I'm sure people want to know how magic pen and attack damage, etc. works too.)

It doesn't round AFAIK. But the difference is so minuscule you won't notice it anyway in most cases, obviously.

There is no rounding. Some numbers we round visually so that you don't see a zillion decimal places however when computing the math it uses the full numbers.

That's a lie and you know it hohums. There are an infinite number of numbers the computer can't represent even within the range of 0 and 0.5

Anyways...single precision or double? :P

Way to pick on words and show of your imba CS skills. Oh, and your math skills, there are many irrationals numbers. Cool.

However, do they use irrational numbers on their runes? No? And can you somehow get to an irrational numbers using any of the four basic numerical operators? No. So who gives a **** about irrationals.

Oh, but lol. What about 0.1 in binary. Single representation of that will be adequate enough to not cause a single integer difference in any of the game played so far.

So if I have 10 health and take 9.999999 damage, I won't die and it'll show I have 1 HP?

I know, I was just being a jerk. I just had a Numerical Computing final last night...so it's all stuck in my head.
