Hello League of Legends players, I am Gray Brother, and today I want to talk to you about the shadow flame equipment. The basic magic is second only to the hat, and comes with a high amount of law wear, the shadow flame was quickly sought after by mage players after it was put on the shelves, and now many people are accustomed to the second piece of it, but in fact, there is a big "loophole" in the law wear provided by this equipment.
Before explaining, we must first understand the concept of law wear, law wear is divided into two kinds, one is fixed method wear, the other is the percentage method wear, shadow flame belongs to the former, fixed method wear can directly offset the magic resistance, such as the target has 20 magic resistance, the law wear shoes provide 18 fixed method wear, then when the target is damaged by spells, only 2 magic resistance can produce defensive effects.
Shadow Flame's law wear is "pseudo law wear"
After mastering the basic knowledge, let's look at the shadow flame, its passive effect is to provide 10-20 spell wear when the hero causes damage, and when the target health ≤ 1000 will get the maximum benefit, so in theory to attack the health value of 1000, the magic resistance is 0, 10, 20 enemies in turn when the damage caused is the same, but the actual situation is not the case, with the continuous improvement of the magic resistance Victor E skill Damage is constantly decreasing, which shows that the shadow flame's law wear and normal law wear effect is different.
In order to study the damage bonus of the Shadow Flame, Gray Brother did several tests, when the target magic resistance is 0, Victor hits 120 damage with an E skill, and the damage caused by the Shadow Flame is 0 at this time, there is no problem here, when the target magic resistance becomes 20, Victor hits 117 damage with an E skill, at this time the display damage of the Shadow Flame is 20, and the damage caused by the inability to wear the Victor E skill is 120 * 0.83 (20 magic resistance = 17% damage reduction) ≈100, that is to say, the actual damage of the Shadow Flame is only 17, Does not match the display damage.
So why is this happening? After many calculations, The gray brother found the answer, the damage displayed on the original shadow flame panel was only a "scam", and the actual damage was multiplied by the magic resistance reduction percentage on the target, such as the above is 20 *0.83≈17, plus 100 after the right.
In order to ensure accuracy, Gray Brother increased the magic resistance to 70, and the hero level was also slightly increased, at this time, the damage hit by the E skill that could not wear Victor was 165, the shadow flame Victor was 178, the difference was 13, and the damage shown by the shadow flame was 22, with 22 * 0.59 (70 magic resistance = 41% damage reduction) ≈ 13, which also conformed to the previous inference. In this way, the Shadow Flame's spell piercing can be seen as a secondary attack effect, its damage will be calculated independently, and the higher the target's magic resistance, the greater the damage gap with the normal law piercing.
There is also a gap between the methods of wearing
Next, entering the damage test link, how obvious is the gap between the shadow flame's method wear and the normal method wear? As you can see from the figure, when the target health is 1300, the shadow flame provides a method of wearing 18, which is exactly the same as the law wearing shoes, at this time, with the 18-level Victor to hit the dummy EQR, the total damage of the shadow flame is 2300, and the total damage of the law wearing shoes is close to 2400! Enough to "swallow" nearly 100 damage points, with the increase in the strength of the gap will continue to expand, I don't know whether the designer deliberately made this or bugs, this phenomenon has seriously affected the experience of mage players.
The battle between the shadow flames of the law piercing stick came to an end
Many people like to compare the shadow flame and the magic wear stick together, which is the high or low bonus of the damage between the two? Through the following set of tests, you can know the results, the dummy magic resistance is 100, the health value is 1000 (let the shadow flame's law wear bonus increase to the highest), the same level 18 Victor set of EQR, the shadow flame three-piece set of damage is only 2064, and the law wear stick three-piece set has 2327, and the higher the magic resistance, the more the lead, the single damage method wears the stick to achieve a complete victory, so everyone must not be brainless out of the shadow flame, before there is no repair, it is really a trap equipment.
Players are also shouting and cheating on this, and have said: "I thought the new equipment must be very strong, but after reading it, I found that I was deceived, and the designer returned the law to me!" In addition, some players said bluntly: "In the case of the penetration of the mythical equipment belt, no matter how many pieces, whether there is a magic resistance on the opposite side, the shadow flame has no advantage over other equipment, it is completely a trap." ”
How, after watching it, did you change your mind about the shadow flame? What do you think is the cost performance of this equipment?
