Does Armor/Magic Resist affect percentage damage?
Is % based spell damage like Liandry's Torments passive or Amumus Despair (W) affected by Magic Resistance? Same goes with Botrk and armor.
Best Answer
Yes, physical and magical damage will get reduced by armor and magic resistance.
There is also the common misconception that you "have" to buy percentage damage against Tanks. While this is true to a certain degree, it will only help if they have a lot of HP without resistances, If someone has 200 Armor and 3000 life, a Bloodthirster with some crit will often do just as well as a BotrK.
The percentage is calculated first and the damage reduction after. So if you have our favorite spin to win champion with 100 armor (50% dmg reduction) and 1000 HP, your blade will do a passive 40 physical damage.
The same goes for effects like Brand Passive and Amumu W of course just with Magical damage and magic resistance.
