Cleaver and Starks use Armor Reduction, which technically is different from APen. SotD has 30 APen on its active. Reduction is applied first, then APen, then Whisper. Afaik only reduction can bring someone's armor into the negatives. And since reduction is applied first, it's unlikely to happen unless your enemy has less than 80 defense or his defense is greatly reduced by some ability. Dunno any examples off the top of my head. I would assume that negative armor is capped at something greater than -99 or else the usual damage calculation wouldn't work. Maybe there is a different formula for negative armor, but I haven't seen it yet. The normal formula is this: damage dealt * 100 / (100 + armor) = damage recieved where armor is the final value after applying APen etc. As you can see there is a slight problem with -100 armor. Some jungle creeps have negative MRes, you can check the % reduction that is displayed if you hover over their MRes value. If it doesn't match this formula then there is some other formula at work. But since this really shouldn't matter unless APen actually does bring armor into the negatives... You shouldn't bother. | ||

Pretty sure Corki is the only person that can reliably bring people into negatives(gatling gun + cleaver), and even then it's only going to be people who are maybe just rocking a cloth armor item+aegis aura. Reduction being applied first is simply put, confusing. Maybe they're worried about it being super OP if it were applied last(omg Black Cleaver might see game time on more than one champ). | ||

The new Philosopher's Stone will take just slighly more than 12 minutes to produce the money it takes to build it from a Regrowth Pendant. It's highly efficient at what it does, 1235 value for 800 cost if you value the MP5 based on Meki Pendant and HP5 based on Regrowth. The biggest drawback seems to be the lack of an item to build it into. | ||

HP Quints / ASpd Reds / Armor Yellows / MP5PL Blues, Amplifying Tome + 1 red opening. Golem -> Wraiths -> Wolves -> Blue -> Red gank is about 5:30~, never in real danger of dying. You can dragon at 6 without help if you have blue/red, most likely with help if you don't have them. It feels really dumb tbh. Gonna run it with Sapphire / Meki and see how those work in preperation for MANAMUNE. | ||

I cant tell if its just getting bad teammates (sure feels like it when were 1:5) or if im not doing enough to help win. Im gonna blame Garen. Everytime the opposition has garen our team just folds. Sick of it. It's normal, happens all the time especially if the champ is "not my style" (it took me like 20 games to feel the strength of Kayle, while I started dominating with Galio on the third game I played him). | ||

In pretty much all cases your APen will not exceed their armor. All (?) chars have natural armor scaling, add an Aegis or just 1 Chainmail and you can be fairly sure that you won't have enough APen to get them to 0. So even against low armor targets your APen will not lose its effectiveness. If your target has 100 armor, then 50 APen will result in 33% more damage. If your target has 200 armor, then 50 APen will result in 20% more damage. Unless I messed up somewhere (But since the numbers match my expectations, I'm gonna believe they're correct). That means that APen is better against low armor targets unless it exceeds the armor of the target. And even then it depends on how much APen is lost. | ||

It requires immense amount of luck to hit more than two persons, does laughable damage and has a looong cooldown. I think it would be much better if it was put on a shorter CD so that Malphite could actually use it in every fight. After all, Blitzcrank's ult does more damage in a wider radius and has a much shorter CD than this. i mean thats why all those buffs they did to malph isnt really helping the bigger problem. his ult either needs to be extremely gamechanging like amumu's or it needs to be on shorter CD. as it is now he is just a nuisance. kinda like mord without as much lane dominance and a less useful ult. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Trololol~] + ![[image loading]](http://i54.tinypic.com/2ex3tvs.jpg) I don't know what I was looking for going into this, but I really didn't expect Taric to be this good at jungling. The dragon kill was around ~30 seconds, and I think this might actually be viable. On September 03 2010 23:15 spinesheath wrote: What kind of Dinosaur? T-Rex? Brachiosaurus? Plesiosaurus?

"Concede" My first time playing olaf and our soraka(who is like 0-6) calls me useless at which point WW calls us all useless So at 25 mins i offer a surrender and it fails 2-3 15 minutes and 4 aces later as we're raping their nexus i type "Concede, lololol u mad" and we win. Their team raged hard afterwards | ||

Why would you send him into the woods? edit: ^^^ he said it better Started as an experiment to see how well it actually worked after Juicyfruit's post, since I don't know how to play a jungler at all and I play Taric well. After some really promising early ventures, I bought up a set of flat armor yellows and saw just how much was possible. At least while I still play unranked, Jungle Taric seems like a nice way to play a character I enjoy while also fufilling the jungler role /shrug. | ||
