Every point of magic resistance requires a unit to take 1% more of its maximum health in magic damage to be killed. This is called "effective health."

Lets say someone has 30 mr, classic mr on champion w/o using masteries/runes.'

Then it should be 100/(100+30) = 100/130 = 0.76, so you would have 24% reduced incomming dmg.

Now lets say you use 3pts in masteries that give you 6 magic ressit.

You should have 36 : 100/(100+36)= 100/136 = 0.73, so you would have 27% reduced incomming dmg.

So taking into account the "Every point of magic resistance requires a unit to take 1% more of its maximum health in magic damage to be killed. This is called "effective health."" i was expacting a 6% difference in those calculations, yet its half of it ( 3%).

Am i doing anything wrong or am i missing something?. I'd be greatful if you could explain.
