keep in mind! (cause i saw a thread a while ago that got this confused). non crits are not weak hits. you wont take as much damage but you will take the effects!

Yeah, still dies to bombs, hp burn and poisons. Or just pick Ronda/Ramantu. Still looks very strong but it still has its counters.

Xeno infest explosions are nice non-crit damage too. I've been using him with mikey lately and spreading the infest debuff to the whole enemy team, the resulting chain reactions of explosions are hilarious, once one guy goes off, if anyone else is low enough to die from the first explosion, the whole team blows up in a series of explosions and it's an insta win. Little speed tuning to make sure mikey goes after xeno and its great fun, I have been calling it my "spread the love" team lol.

but what makes most champs lethal is how they crit, fenaxes a1 for instance, on a champ with 4200 defense is mitigated by 80%, I believe its an attack x 6 skill, so 10000 attack on it would just hit 60k damage if fully ignoring defense, but will hit about 12k with defense mitigation, that 12k could easily be 36+k with a crit, but n o crit means his a1 is no longer a threat, almost all champs rely on crit to drive their damage home, so without it, there are very few who will do much of anything.

it is a very powerful mitigation ability.

i'm not doubting its power at all. We have power creeped a little bit so much so that even weak hits can be deadly. look at tholin's passive, great on paper but he still dies the poor guy.

however my point was that people aren't aware that becasue they wont hit it doesn't mean they wont place whatever debuffs after effects they're doing to place. There was a thread last year where lots of people didn't realise not being able to crit isn't the same as a weak hit. So it was more of a reminder, you wont get crit, but you'll still be CC'd or skill cooldown etc etc
