yea i know, but true damage makes those calculations easier. Thanks for the answer!

Sorry for the bad title but i couldnt think of anything better.

Anyways my question is: Can you heal for more hp through lifesteal or spellvamp than you have actually dealt damage? For example, if you are lasthitting a minion with a 100 true damage attack, while the minion itself has 50hp left, will you get the lifesteal from the 100 damage your attack dealt or the 50hp which the minion lost?

Thanks in advance

Fact is, nearly every archetype outside of support has a champion that can - and often does - function as a hard carry.

This may be right in DotA, which i haven't played tbh, but in league (or at least in riots champion notes) a carry is defined as an auto-attacking champion. Karthus and Anvia are not considered carries. So from the Aatrox champion notes we can guess that he's very reliant on auto-attacks (just to make clear why this discussion is actually relevant for the topic).

The other definitions of carries don't matter for this topic, which is what people need to understand.

Well as you can guess from the champion notes, he is meant to be something like fiora (" melee, carry"). He may have other options, but i feel like guessing about these goes a little too far for a champion that isn't even released.His main role surely won't be comparable to xin zoah, this guy is meant to deal damage not to be a utility bot for his team.

ah you're right. I'm still not used to the new categories it seems.

why would you say that maokai has to buy expensive items? I feel like he will stay relevant no matter what he buys.

You guys just dont have the same definition of a carry . The one definition deviates from the term "carrying a game", while the other one describes an auto-attacking champion(The last one seems to be Riots definition for the champion notes). Ezreal for example can be a carry, but at the moment he is more often played as a caster(Blue Build).

"AUTO ATTACK focused melee carries with no survivability do not work."
I guess thats just how people tend to define a carry: Someone who deals consistent high damage with his auto-attacks. It is not necessarily related to the term "carry a game" tho. Zed and Khazix are obviously casters and thus do not fit the definition of a carry.

I honestly think this is more about the definition of a carry, than the points you brought up, though they were valid too of course.

ezreals autos are actually pretty good, but with the pulsfire skin they arent quite as good, especially if you're going towards a high attack speed build.

While those items help her kiting potential a lot, she scales better with high attack-speed builds. Also sheen is better on bursty adcarries like ezreal, as there are better options if you are aiming for sutained damage, especially on vayne.
