Reign of Gaming

Hello, hello - DiffTheEnder here again with another mathcrafting analysis that is sure to blow your mind!

Quite often I get requests for specific analysis to be done by several members of the community. This week I had a very special request from Gambit Gaming's mid laner, Alex Ich, who wanted to know if Liandry's Torment outdamages a Void Staff. Unable to say no, I agreed I'll figure it out for him. This article lists the results of the analysis I completed on his request, and I'll tell you right now, Liandry's Torment is the most underrated item in the game. 

Now that I've thoroughly spooked you with the horrific background on that header. Read on to see exactly how strong this item is. 

Hello, hello! DiffTheEnder with a piece of analysis that has been heavily requested. It is, of course, the question on whether Hybrid Penetration marks are better than standard flat Magic Penetration or Armor Penetration. In other words, is double penetration better than standard penetration? Let's take a look...

Hello, hello! DiffTheEnder with some more mathcrafting for you today. I'll warn you right now -- if you don't like rainbow graphs, you might want to skim through to the conclusions. However if you're a fan of them -- enjoy the ride!

So what is today's analysis about? The pinnacle of Ability Power items -- the Void Staff and the formidable Rabadon's Deathcap. Both of these items exist purely to boost your damage output and it's time to figure out at exactly which points each item is better for your damage!

Hello, hello! DiffTheEnder with you again and coming off the back of that surprisingly popular article on Thresh, we head into another support themed article on what's more effective in a teamfight --- the Locket of the Iron Solari's shield or the Aegis of the Legion's persistent armor/magic resist aura. This is something that casters such as MonteCristo have been known to ponder during games and we'll get to the answer of this question by the finish of this article. (And yes, that was a Deman reference <3)

So without any further ado -- let's dive in!

Hello, hello! DiffTheEnder here with you after a long break for a special article on Thresh's passive, Damnation!

 This is one of the quirky champions that Riot produces once in a while, where said champion has a totally unique mechanic. In this case, Thresh is one of these special snowflakes. He does not gain Armor per level and instead picks up pleasant looking green orbs that are actually souls from corpses littered around the Fields of Justice.

And with this interesting mechanic, we beg the question... 

How many souls does Thresh need to keep up in terms of armor with similar champions?

Worry not, you shall find the answer below! Read on for 99.9% accurate mathcrafting.
