Hahah cheers mate :)

Enjoy. (P.S... One solution is hitting around 150 resistances or higher and around 3k HP + xP)

Another is finding other ways to nerf damage like dodge, nerfing Attack speed, etc. (This is why Randuin's is so great, does all 3.)

Good luck! :)

Ah, I see what you mean...
Congrats, you forced me to start the day with a new problem to solve ! I'll try to do some other calculations, taking your armor pen/spear/LW into account.
I still love my cool idea, tough :p

Have a nice day =)

Right, I have explained this to a lot of people a lot of times as well.

% armor/magic pen items and skills ruin that graph, and effective health at the end of the day becomes nothing more than a cool idea :P

Thanks for the comment though but that information is irrelevant. :)

Well, sorry for that wall of text, when it wrote it I did put some spaces. Dunno what happened. Also, sorry if there are some typos in my posts, english is not my native :)

Hey Dufftime ! Annoter great guide, this time for my beloved Jarvy :) I just wanted to make you aware that stacking resistances doesnt have diminushing returns as most people tend to think. Let me try to explain : lets compare the effective health of 2 champs. Champ A has 2000 hp and 100 armor, champ B has same hp but 200 armor. So champ A has 100/200 = 50% reduction, B has 200/300 = 66,666666% :). Now lets see what it does for effective health (by effective health, I mean the amount of flat health that corresponds to your health and your resistances : A has 2000/(1-0,5) = 4000 effective health. B has 2000/(1-0,66)= 6000 effective health. As a general rule of thumb, 1 armor/rm corresponds to 1% more effective health.

Btw, your off-tank build works well for skarner, just take Malady or Guinsoo somewhere. A bit too wet cardboard early on, but gets tough later.

Interesting...

Rammus is over rated in EU =P

Rammus without Rylai's is just a sorta decent champion.

Rammus with Rylai's is very strong though, I will admit that.
