Could we theoretically...

...Calculate how much damage a special 'Would do' in certain circumstances?

How you ever been in the situation where you kill the opponent with a huge special and think, "Man that would've crit for so much!" Well I think there is a possible way to figure how much the hit would've crit for.

I thought of this was because I was going through ROL and I threw an sp with Colossus where none of the hits crit. The damage for every hit was 7,777 and the final hit was 15554. 15554 is exactly double 7,777. This could mean that there's some kind of ratio with the hits of a special where hit 1 does X damage and hit 2 does exactly 2.5x the damage and 5x as much on crits.

So does this mean that there is a way to calculate a big crit or am I just overthinking.

idk, it might work if it is the same numbers again and again.

I think I'm too stupid to understand what you're saying

SpideyFunko

I feel like DNA or Zola would be able to crack the numbers

I don’t see why not, but to what end?

Thicco_Mode

yeah each hot of the special does have some sort of ratio/proportion for each hit. I don't remember exactly, but ghosts last hit is either 1.5 or 2x the first two

Yeah the last hit of ghosts special one is double the amount of the first few hits. Don't know about the special 2 though.

There is a base damage for every hit in the game that is mitigated by armor, resistances, masteries, abilities etc that is also modified by effects like fury and cruelty, masteries, abilities, etc. So yes you can calculate if you know those values at the moment of impact and you could even calculate what would’ve been based on the unmodified hits displayed after the KO but it’s simply not worth it given the presence is so many potential damage modifiers.

Ghost's special 1 does exactly the same damage as her medium attack on each hit, and the last hit does double damage. It might not seem that way if you're running Suicides because of recoil, but that's the case.

As for her special 2, the first 2 hits are for the same amount, but the last hit is 133.3% of any of those 2 hits. In other words, if the first 2 hits are 24k each, the last hit would be 24k + (33% of 24k). Which leaves you with 24k + 8k; giving you 32k. In total, that SP 2 would hit for 80k.
