Why you no nerf IE-PD (or Crit) harder?

As long as the damage scaling is that extreme on only one item path, items like Hurricane will just about soundly be suboptimal in all cases.

oh, sorry—that's how it shows up in the character sheet in games. "x | y" translates as "x flat penetration and y % penetration" when i use it. so the scenario to which i was referring would be 7.8 | 8% before and 37.8 | 40% after, and both get applied in damage calculations with the % happening first.

example of the former case versus a target with 100 magic resist:
100 - 8% = 92
92 - 7.8 = 84.2

example of the latter case versus a target with 100 magic resist:
100 - 40% = 60
60 - 37.8 = 22.2

so you'd be penetrating 62 more magic resist with those items against a target with 100 magic resist.

What about an upgrade for QSS for AP Carry?

Do Riot have any plans for buffing armor?

Is Riot happy with the current state of the game?

this red, utterly clueless, im done with this thread lol.

as shown by the release of that monstrosity known as black cleaver, it looks like riot really did their homework when it comes to s3

Xerath works pretty great with the new magic pen calculations. While the champion might be good, he's just not very fun to play.

Thank you... yeah, that is really strong!

P.S.: About your post: I share the same feelings with you.

thats my eve delete-champion core build D;

Xerath's trouble is requirement-based gamplay.

He requires the player to perform a hardlocked combo in order to be effective, rather than having a baseline effectiveness and rewarding the player for combos.

Zed is an excellent example of reward-based gameplay.

All of his abilities do something very effective-- but when combined through the skill of the player, even better effects are achieved.

it's 8 for levels 1-6, 7 for levels 7-12, and 6 for levels 13-18.

the tooltip should be updating appropriately, but sometimes there's a slight delay so it might not happen the exact moment you hit 7 or 13.

This is my eve build.
