Resistance in the Battle Realm.

NastyPhish

If you have 100% bleed resistance. You can’t take damage from bleeds. That’s how percents work. If you apply a bleed for 135% of defenders attack. That’s still only a 100% bleed were the numbers are calculated by taking the attack x1.35 = 100%.

If we use 100 as the base attack calculation. The total bleed would be 135 damage. If I have 100% resistance. That reduces it to zero. If the numbers are 10x that. It’s still zero. Because everything is -100%. You still get the debuff. But it does nothing.

In our example
In the event the bleed is a 500% bleed, that is still 500% of attack. In that case, the calculation goes attack x 500% = 500 - 100% (500) = 0.

If you get another answer you are literally doing math wrong.

My bleed deals 100% bleed damage. Your resistance stops that.

But I’ve got a super special cool bleed that deals 150% bleed damage. You can only resist 100% of my super special cool bleed. 150-100 is 50. You take 50% of the 150% damage my super special cool bleed would’ve dealt to you.

The attack part is right as that modifies the damage (not the potency) but a 500% bleed is a fraction displayed as a percentage denoting the potency of a bleed not the damage, 500/100.

With 100% bleed resistance the calculation is attack x (500/100 - 100/100) = attack x 400. And that’s math.

I understand kabams standpoint on it. Even if it’s wrong.

The part you guys are messing up is the 100% resistance is at the end. So take any number you want. Reduce it by 100% of that number.

I also understand the “that’s the way it is” thinking. But this game is full of mistakes. This is just one of them.

Kabam math isn't the same as normal math

Yes, but that's not how it works in this game, and there's no point in arguing otherwise

It doesn't seem to be a math issue to me, it's the wording being ambiguous and being open to interpretation.

The OP is quite right, if the champion has a 100% bleed resistance, they should not take any damage regardless of the amount of bleed coming their way.

What is happening here is the analytical use of the term % [Percentage] is being used incorrectly in terms of how it is being used to calculate the damage on the recipient.

A recipient of damage can only accept 100% of any attack. I'll try an example:

If the basic incoming damage is 500, the defender can resist 100% of that, which is 500.
If the increased incoming damage is 750 [150% of the basic], the defender can resist 100% of that, which is 750.

Having said all that, I know how the wording in this game works and it feels purposely intentional a lot of the time.

You are wrong, thinking that percentages wont go above 100%
