Does Garen's W work on True Damage?
W says "all damage" but does that include True Damage such as Ignite?

U can even flash a tick of ignite (atleast could)

can somebody test this?
i believe this is separated into the shield category, and shields 'absorb' that damage. If i was to assume the dynamics of it, i would say that the 'shield' absorbs up to 36% of the damage.
shields work against ignite....i dunno
edit: alistar - Removes disables from Alistar, and Alistar gains 60/75/90 Attack Damage and takes 75% reduced physical and magic damage for 6/7/8 seconds. (no shield)
mao - Maokai creates a magical vortex that protects him and allied champions by reducing damage from non-turret sources by 20/20/20%. (no shield)

garens w is definitely not a shield like jannas

As a rule of thumb, true damage beats damage reduction.

No, True Damage goes right through Alistar's Ult, Maokais Ult, all of those pure damage reductions.
This is false. To my knowledge Maokai's ult blocks true damage, as his ultimate specifically states 20% of all damage.
Alistar's ult specifically states 75% of physical and magical damage.
This is why, in combination with good ruptures, his long silence and Feast, Cho counters Alistar.
maokai's ult USED to reduce true damage as a bug. it was fixed a few patches ago.
Sad panda, they should change the tooltip.
Hm, maybe.
I was playing a game as Mao against Olaf, Irelia, and Corki. I was very very sad. I don't know for certain if it was going though but that Olaf HURT.
Needs testing.
League Wiki claims True Damage is not reduced by flat mitigation, as I said. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/True_damage
That's what I figured. Thanks!
