Mages have been doing True Damage to squishies with just boots literally for years.

Hey, since people might not know, I figured I would point out that Mages have been doing True damage to squishies for years now with absolutely nothing but Runes, Masteries, and Boots.

How?

Well lets take a look at something that you might not know. As it is currently, half of the champions in LoL have a base MR of 30 at level 1 and get ZERO MR/Level. This leaves them with 30 MR from levels 1 to 18 unless they go out of the way to build some.

So lets take a look at the numbers.

Starting with 30 MR:

• minus Sorc Boots = 15

• minus Magic Pen Marks = 7.2

• minus Precision (Mastery) = -1.2

So with just runes, masteries, and 1100G boots, Mages have been capable of dealing true damage to squishies for years now.

For comparison, The LOWEST base armor at 18 is Orianna with 68 Armor. With the exceptions of Thresh who has his passive and Gnar who has different values in Mini/Mega.

So if we're going to be fair about this, True Damage to squishies has existed for a very long time.

Some food for thought.
