Pugna decrep self and ult to heal more?
I've seen pros do this and don't understand why decrepifying yourself results in more heals (or less damage to self)? Explain please..

Life Drain always heals the same amount it damages

His ult heal weirdly scales on damage received, thus decrepifying yourself makes you take more magical damage so you output more heal. Weird interaction but it is how it is
Does it mean that Pugna with cloak heals himself less ?
No I'm only talking about when he ults his allies, in which case cloak would indeed reduce healing. Same goes for Aeon Disk, Pugna doesn't heal when it procs...
The amount healed with life drain is based off the damage it's done.
If pugna targets an enemy the damage (and therefor the amount healed) will be reduced by the targets magic resist.
If pugna targets an ally the damage done to him self will be lowered by magic res and therefore the heal will be lower.
If he decrepts himself and then heals an ally pugna magic Res will be lower,.so he deals more damage so he heals the target more.
Similarly if he decrepts an.enemy and then drains them he will deal more damage and heal more to himself.
Decreping yourself and then draining an enemy will not increase the damage or heal, but can sometimes be the right decision if:
-you have allies that want to hit your drain target with attacks, but you want to stop that target from attacking you.
-you have multiple enemies that want to physically attack you, decrepon enemey will only stop one, where as decrep on self will stop them all.
It’s not weird,the ability says “pugna drains his life into ally”,and dmg type is magical,obviously he is going to heal faster/slower depending on how much dmg he took,also he doesn’t heal more or less because he is limited by hp,1000 heal over 5 seconds is not more heal than a 1000 heal over 10 seconds,it’s just faster
