T_D I like getting more dodge on my Renekton in the form of Ninja tabi, but then in the later stages when peoples cc scales up to its longest levels I tend to sell my Ninja Tabi and buy mercury treads. Ninja tabi is only 500 gold from boots one so I can get a faster anything else while still being able to have tenacity when I need it in the later stages of the game.

Tabi + some Tenacity item is pretty solid on a bunch of top laners.
If you get boots other than Mercs or Tabi you often don't get Tenacity at all and instead go staight for QSS if you need something against CC.

Partly because you don't even need the Tenacity, partly because you can't delay your big items by relatively weak dead end mid tier items.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Fixed a bug where a capped Leviathan was reducing true damage

according to the lol wiki, no form of damage mitigation mitigates true damage (poppy passive, alistar ult, etc.). True damage that is part of an auto attack will not apply if the attack is evaded or blocked by Panth's passive, and Kayle's ult blocks all damage, including true damage.

edit: I type way too slow

I actually think cloak and dagger is the best item out of the tenacity items. It's stats aren't abysmal for the cost and they scale well off each other. IMO it's a great item for anyone with an AD steroid or who gets IE early.

For me it depends on the role. If I'm playing a ranged Cloak and Dagger is better but id still get Mercs on a melee since theres a higher chance youll get cced as a melee and the tenacity will help more then say the ranged thats in theory thats getting cced at a range so the less tenacity would be alright?

The biggest thing about ad carries is that if you're eating cc in the first place you're probably dead. You need to QSS and flash away or just not get caught in the first place. Tenacity won't save you so there's really no point in buying it.

That's the good part, you can get it on someone like trynd and not lose out that much.

but it doesnt build into pdancer. so you're eventually gonna sell it for zeal, to replace 5% crit and tenacity for movespeed and the ability to make it a better item. dunno, at first glance it seems more worth it to just get mercs or qss, which also shore up your mres, which is typically a weak point for ppl who would like c&d.

IMO Miracle should combine with Aegis to make an OP aura tenacity item. So the support can get me my tenacity and I can use both slots for something more useful. Like a madreds blood razer, and a 2nd gardian angel.

How true is true damage? Are true damage spells affected at all by things like Exhaust, Urgot's passive, Poppy's passive, Alistar ultimate, stacked Leviathan, etc?

And on the topic of Poppy's passive, is it calculated before or after resistances?

  • Leviathan will lower true damage taken as it blocks all forms of damage instead of providing mitigation.
  • Urgot's passive was fixed to not affect true damage.
  • Alistar Ultimate will not block true damage as it provides mitigation stats, not damage blocking.
  • Spell shields will block any spell that has a true damage component so will block the damage.
  • Exhaust will not lower the true damage component of any spell damage, but will lower the rest of the damage.
  • Poppy's passive should not block true damage.
  • Kayle Ult and Panth Passive blocks all form of damage and so will block True Damage.

Re Poppy's Passive: Afaik it is based on actual damage dealt and not pre-mitigation damage, so armour and resistances are taken into account first. Her passive also only applies to the component of the damage that exceeds 10% of her current health. So it doesn't apply to the entire attack, only the part that does more damage than the 10% threshold.

You are 100% wrong on Pantheon passive =\. Also, I have no idea why Leviathan would block when Ali and Poppy wouldn't. Are you sure on all these cases MoonBear.

Just tested it. Panth passive will block the physical component of an autoattack but not the true damage component. Seems a little odd... Will check with QA on this. Not sure if oversight or just unclear wording.

My apologies on mentioning Leviathan as blocking True Damage. As USnip pointed out correctly, was patched over.

Re Mercs: Whenever you get Tabi I guess? HSGG sometimes goes Tabi Cho and then Moonflair or Eleisa. The current non-boots Tenacity items aren't very good though. Design is thinking of allowing you to upgrade them into something else further but no concrete plans.

Pantheon's Passive blocks the physical component of an auto attack and nothing more. It has always functioned this way and has always pissed me off . Seems sucky that I can block Ashe's frost shot and still get slowed by 35%. Should function identically to dodge IMO, blocking all on-hit aspects of the attack in question.

I think the true answer is that if you wore less clothes you could.

A lot of item problems (especially tenacity alternatives) suffer from having no build paths. You could turn some of the worst items into some of the best with just a bigger thing to build into. Look at haunting guise, eleisa's miracle, cloak and dagger, moonflair spellblade, hexdrinker and even soul shroud to a lesser extend. They're all great midgame items, but they're completely worthless the longer the game goes on. Riot tries to argue that they're ok because they give an immediate boost of strength in the midgame, yet they're almost never used because everyone realizes it's almost always better to just work toward a big item. You give them a build path into a stronger item and suddenly they'll get used all the time.
