116% Damage Reduction Sona (PBE Changes) [League of Legends]

Quick FYI for those who don't understand this:
Sona's passive has a special effect based on the the last ability she used.
if it was her Q, then her passive deals more damage.
if it was her W, then her passive applies damage reduction on the target.
It it was her E, then her passive applies a slow on the target.
Right now(patch 6.13), the damage reduction value on her W is 20% (+ 2% per 100 AP), but she has a a few changes on the PBE, and one of them is that they changed the damage reduction value to 25% (+ 6% per 100 AP). this video is demonstrating how it works.

UPDATE: as of the 7/7 PBE update, this is no longer possible. Riot nerfed the damage reduction value to 25% (+ 4% per 100 AP) from 25% (+ 6% per 100 AP).
you can still get it with 1875 AP I guess but getting 1875 AP is pretty hard.

life steal is an incorrectly named stat, you arn't actually gaining life based of how much damage you deal, but how much damage you can do with the hit, a more correct name would be life on hit, scaling with how much damage the hit can do

Lifesteal on 0 dmg? What to say, rito coders. Please test zed ultimate. It calculate of AD and damage done during the time frame. Once zed dealt me like 100 dmg during ulti and after that the ult somehow proced me for 2000 damage.

Description is wrong about her Q; she does more damage because its in addition to her base power chord damage ^.^

[OnyxMP]

Damage reduction has to do with intake damage. Lifesteal applies to outbound calculated damage. Hence why you still heal for a buttload with a BT on a ward with 3 HP and only deal 1 damage to it.

What's your point? He does no damage!

[cupofmeep]

Yo ! About the life steal with 0 dmg, it happens with wards as well, sometimes I get to hit wards and I do get hp back although wards have either "3 hp" or none hp, while I get the hp that I'd get for hitting an enemy basically.

[TheAnimefan]

He still got lifesteal because lifesteal is calculated before any damage reduction (%, armor, thornmail reflect). It doesn't work against immunity though.

[Woolie]

"true damage is still fully applied" ... almost like it's true damage

[RobinLSL]

At some point it said dmage instead of damage.

[RyuuMasken]

He continues to lifesteal because lifesteal is calculated from damage before mitigation, not after.

There's a limit on how much you can slow someone - this is why Thresh's Ult (99% slow) doesn't actually slow someone to 4-5 Movespeed. Riot's calculation works as follows:
When the raw movement speed is less than 220 another soft cap is used:
If the raw speed is below 220, it gets multiplied by 50% and added to 110.
(If your raw speed is 180, then this is how you'd math it: 180 x .5 + 110 = 200).

Never played LoL, only MOBA I have any experience with is smite; could someone tell me how difficult it would be to get to this level of damage reduction? And if it's basically just straight up not possible, then how high could you get the damage reduction? I ask because I have absolutely no clue what AP is or how it works or how you attain it

[salimo]

Ofc does he get life steal back, it's the PBE

[thiennguyentruonguc]

Đây là bảng j mà mạnh quá zay chỉ mình vois

[DarthenosC]

Yea it is just like movespeed. These things all have soft/hardcaps.
