Does anyone know if you can give anyone negative protection?
lets say you are up against a Loki without Voidblade at lvl 20 (69 physical protection by my math), and you got Warrior Tabi, The Executioner, Jotun's Wrath and Voidblade (witch is 70 flat penetration with 3 stacks of executioner). Would that make Loki have 0 or -1 protection for you?
I would guess it only goes down to 0, but if anyone got a link or something to clarify it for me that would be great (only got my mac with me so can't check it out myself).
What we figured out after testing it out:
The Executioner: Is a debuff which reduces the targets protection by 5 + 7% of the targets max protection (before debuffs etc) per stack. Voidblade: Is a aura debuff which reduces the targets protection by 15 (after the patch when tier 3 was split into two). Titan's Bane: Is a percentage penetration which reduces the targets protection by 33% (after debuffs). Warrior Tabi, Jotunn's Wrath and Focused Voidblade: Is flat penetration items, which is subtracted from the targets protection (after debuffs and percentage penetration).
So lets say we got every penetration item (Focused Voidblade) you can get vs a good with no protection except the natural protection (no protection items): Protection numbers Penetration numbers
A Poseidon would have 8 + (20*2.2) = 52 protection at lvl 20.
First we do the debuff stacks from The Executioner.
First stack 52*7/100=3,64+5=8,64. Second stack 8,64*2=17,28. Third stak 8,64*3=25,92.
Then we got Poseidon down to 26,08 protection with the 3 stacks up.
( Voidblade aura would put him down to 11,08 protection).
Then its down to the Titan's Bane (lets say we didn't have the aura from Voidblade).
The percentage will be 26,08*33/100=8,61
Then we got Poseidon down to 17,47 protection with the 3 stacks up.
And last, but not least we are down to the flat penetration. Warrior Tabi, Jotunn's Wrath and Focused Voidblade puts the flat penetration up to 15+15+25=55 (50 is the cap) flat penetration.
Then we got Poseidon down to -37,53 (0 is the cap) protection with the 3 stacks up.
Your total penetration will be 25,92+8,61+50=84,53
Then the damage would be like this (lets say your base damage is 300):
300x100/(100+52-84,53 (52 because the cap is 0))=300 damage.
I tested out the negative protection myself, and I found out that the cap was 0 (Loki lvl 1 with 100 physical power and 40 penetration did 100 damage to Isis lvl 1 with no extra protection).
Hopefully my math is right now, would be hilarious if I manage to screw it up again xD
I tried your situation in a practice joust. With 3 stacks on executioner I did 317 damage to Loki. Adding a Titan's Bane boosted it to 362 with 3 stacks on executioner. It seems like it can go negative.
Once again, from LoL knowledge, protections can indeed go negative. When they go negative, they do all the sums for damage reduction, but instead of subtracting it from the player's damage, it adds on.
In short, yes, protections can go negative and it multiplies your damage as opposed to reduces it.
Thx guys!
I know that the formula for protection is this:
Original damage*100/(100+amount of protection-amount of penetration you have)(- Mark of the Vanguard) = damage after protection mitigation.
Am I wrong or is penetration the best way to go when it comes to damage output?
And also if anyone can clarify it, when does the percentage from Titan's Bane and The Executioner apply, is it before or after flat pen?
I know that Voidblade comes first because that is a aura debuff so that would come before percentage as well I would guess. The same with the stacks from The Executioner because the are also debuffs.
So with only The Executioner and Voidblade vs a god with 125 protection:
Aura = 125-25=100
Stacks = 100-((100x7/100=7)+5) on the first stack, 88-((88x7/100=5,81)+5) on the second stack and 77,19-((77,19x7/100=5,4)+5) on the third stack.
A total of 58,21 penetration at 3 stacks and Voidblade which makes the target have 66,79 protection. If you put a Titan's Bane on top of that, it will give you 66,79x33/100=22,04 penetration. This will be 44,75 protection, and with the flat pen from Warrior Tabi and Jotunn's Wrath it would bring the protection down to 14,75.
Aura Pen > On hit % > On Hit Flat > % > Flat
going with the correct type of pen is important, thats why bruisers (talking about 4 defensive item bruisers) gets a pen item for whatever purpose he is there for.
your kalkulations seems legit, even tho 100 negative pen is impossible right now ;)
I don't know why people still post this wrong Aura first stuff - so easy testable.... :/
If you walk up to someone with Voidblade you are going to apply the debuff and give the -25 physical protection, and then when you hit someone with The Executioner you will start to apply the debuffs from that one as well (aura-->percentage pen-->flat pen). That's at least the logical way to look at it if you put some thought into it, but if you got a good explanation for aura not to be first I'm all ears. :)
