Suggestion: Change +50% to +33% on all abilities

I'm suggesting this change for abilities like Hunter X, Crushing blow, Bloodlust, Soulfeast, Resistances et cetera, since I feel these are slightly overpowered. Much like Colossal, they would be more balanced at +33%. Do players agree or do they prefer the current versions?

 

I personally prefer 50% because it's easier to do the math. If Poxnora had a specific rounding system I wouldn't mind it being 33% but Poxnora math is already difficult as it.

 

I just always round up to be safe :/

 

Wouldn't you round down if you were trying to be safe? :b

 

Yes? depends on how you do it

 

Receiving the blow: round up.
Dealing damage: round down.

I guess...

 

why not 25%?

 

I actually like the second option. It's less math. No need to even use the round up system. Easier for newer players to calculate damage.I don't honestly play with a calculator open to calculat specific situations. I pray at times that I calculated my damage correctly in order to one round a champion/s.

 

Personally, I think 30% is the magic number. Considering how relatively easy it seems to be to ramp up DEF and grant resists and neuter damage, I think 'generalist' defensive/offensive abilities would be fine maxing out at 30%. Now mind, that's total.

Colossal- 30% reduced damage taken from small champions
Hunter: X 20% Increased damage, 10% reduced damage taken (Or 15%/15%)
Foe: X 30% reduced damage taken from X

Obviously, some cover more things than others, but that's where I don't envy the job of adjusting their costs (If they even warrant it, which I suspect they would).

Not sure if things like reflexes/evasive deserve to be in that group, but maybe they should?

Surge/Bulwark: X might want to be touched in the same sweep. As fun as it is to walk around with 33dmg Lich Magistrates and Nether Wraiths....it does feel a bit cheesy at times.

 

I would appreciate a change. Right now, the +/- 50% is fairly swingy. 30% seems better.

 

I would personally like to see all percentages get removed from the game.
Also every ability that rounds up or down need to specify if they round up or down. (Or have every ability in the game either round up or down.)

 

That moment when i do the math to one round perfectly, then realize i forgot sl bonus.

 

Why would Flame Surge get +2 DMG from things like Hunter: Wrath or Colossal? I'm probably just misunderstanding you.

 

If you mean from abilities like Amplify, just have them only increase activated abilities, not passive ones.
Could also have things only get boosted if a certain amount of damage is dealt.
Lots of different ways to remove percentages.

 

Passive.
But I do agree adding exceptions would make it less simplified, so finding a better solution would be ideal.

 

I don't get why collossal is 33% ,I did remember saying change collosal to 1/3 damage but I would have thought they would round up to 35% makes more sense since 2% doesn't make much difference and it neatly ties with all the ratios

10%
20%
25%
33%
45%
50%
65%
75%
80%
All those are the current ratios available ( may have missed one)
As you can see 33% sticks out like a sore thumb
