So I'm reading through this post on a facebook group.
These two guys are arguing over the effectiveness of the magic damage passive of
Liandry's Torment
One of them says something about how "even pre-mitigation, the amount of damage it deals at lower amounts of health is laughable".
well ok, I suppose that's techinically true, but you're ignoring the idea of percent damage vs. flat damage.
so I offered the comment: "pre-mitigation, 5% of 1600 or 5% of 400 the
percentage of health dealt in magic damage is identical, regardless."
he's got to understand this point, right? it's just basic fractions...
to which he responded: "5% of 1600 is 80, 5% of 400 is 20"
apparently not.
so I said: "Arguing about how much smaller the numerical value gets makes no sense. The effectiveness of the damage, in terms of damage dealt in relation to the current health the target has (premitigation, as you said before), is identical."
this should explain my point, right? this is basic math? oh...nope.…
