Math behind Resistance

raasdal · April 2016

Hey everybody,

I am finding Resistance numbers quite unintuative, when it comes to figuring out your actual mitigation. So can anyone give me the math to answer below question. I am NO CP, so you can leave those factors out of it;

If i am hit by opponent 5k tooltip attack, and i have Resistance of 10k, how much damage will i receive, compared to 20k resistance?

Notice i am talking 5k tooltip. Would like the math including the battle spirit debuff/buff etc.

Thanks!

33000 physical/spell resist is 50% damage reduction. You need to factor in all the penetration and stuff that exists when calculating but just pure armour numbers wise, every 650~ armour/spell res = 1% dmg reduction.

Like I said resistance and mitigation got screwed over.

Sharpend gold weapons= 14%
Weapon passive=20%
Champ tree= up to 5200 aprrox strait up go thru.
Reduce armor abilities tied into spamable attacks=5200 approx

Basically use armor as a stat mod. If your using it for anything else you will get frustrated.

The finer details can be found here.

The Resistance section goes into how it's calculated.

The Damage Calculation section goes into how damage is computed in the game (and how resistance and other factors figure into that equation).

Oh my dear, thank you for that link. I just jizzed a little in my pants, just seeing all that beautiful math.
