Attack or Damage?

I see people refer to the first stat as attack and others refer to it as damage. I've always referred to it as damage, attack is a stat that has been discontinued.

 

Strength.

 

Voted attack and damage.

Where is your God now?

 

God is dead. I was raised a Catholic, but I became an atheist the day of my confirmation.

 

Once upon a time, many years ago, champs had both an attack stat and a damage stat. Damage was the damage they dealt and attack was a number that was calculated against the opponents defence. Defence worked completely differently back then, champs had like 15 def.

 

That's why I call the current stat Damage not Attack. Occasionally you'll still see champs with 15 def, but it's a lot more work to get it that high.

 

Damage, attack was a defense ignoring mechanic in an old iteration as I recall.

 

God is dead. Long live God.

 

32 defense acid ele never forget

 

Calling it attack destroys the historical distinction between the two. It's damage.

 

Dammit man, you know I can't vote right when there is a Tar option.

Edit: 2 choices, your a god.

 

I just had to go with tar, there was no other way.


EDIT: yeah, just noticed the multi option thing too, so I went with dmg. Thing is, historical distinction aside, think about stuff like the difference between arrow eater and elusive. I think of the attack as the attempt to inflict damage and if it goes through whatever might resist/dodge it, then it inflicts damage. A unit can have a damage stat referring to its ability to inflict dmg, but it may never attack for whatever reason.

 

I chose all 3 choices

 

Well it definitely isn't tar, and we all know that. Some people are intentionally disrupting the outcome of this survey. Shame
