Using a 5 Star Rank 5 for Both Examples, Auntm.ai Snapshot shows Pre Buff Stats and Unowned Champions Info Snapshot shows Post Buff Stats.
He got 1130.77 Physical Resistance and 4900 Energy Resistance from the Buff, but...

As in does 500 Physical Resist, 500 Energy Resist, and 500 Armor Rating all block the same amount of damage?
Also let's be clear here I never said to have 1 over the other.
Also, armor only works against attacks. Resistances work against all damage sources (of the right type). In particular, resistances work against damage over time effects, while armor generally does not.
So in a sense Yellowjacket traded 525 armor for 1131 armor against physical damage and 4900 armor against energy damage, and that armor works against all damage sources. The only corner case where the original 525 armor would have been better would be against a hypothetical attack that dealt non-energy non-physical damage that did not bypass armor (like true damage or direct damage which I believe ignores armor). There aren't lots of those out there I don't think.
Outside of that kind of situation, Yellowjacket in a sense upgraded his "armor" to higher values that work in more situations.
Anyways if they all Stack and Scale the same I was wondering why they then just removed it all for only Resistance instead of just keeping the Armor the same then taking that amount away from the Resistances, which would still lead to the same Damage Reduction.
