Does the RNG get tilted against champs like BW on thorns?
I'll start with a question: Wasn't thorns calculated based on the damage OUR champion did, not the base damage output of the champ you're fighting? This seems like a totally different thorns damage than before but maybe I'm just used to Electro's thorn-like damage.
And like any old timer, I have 4* BW at Level 99 (because you had to when thorns were a thing all the time). They nerfed her signature ability to only not trigger abilities 69.99% of the time. You get another 15% if you're facing a science champ (Ghulk). I went in with the Quake synergy too (that's another 15% ability accuracy).
I know I'm not getting to 100% ability accuracy. If I read the ability description, I'd calculate my ability accuracy as:
(69.99 + 15) * 1.15 = 97.74% ability accuracy... (This is the way I read BW sig ability).
If I calculate my ability accuracy in the least favorable terms, it would be:
69.99 * 1.15 * 1.15 = 92.56% ability accuracy (It doesn't seem like BWs sig ability description supports this method.)
In olden times, days of yore, if you ran BW with the Quake synergy, you'd see almost zero damage from thorns. Was this because the thorns damage was calculated differently or because ability accuracy is a game mechanic we're not supposed to understand?
