Notes

• Plating increases the user's effective health against basic attacks by around 11.11% (${\frac {100\%}{100\%-10\%}}$).
• Plating's damage mitigation:
  • Stacks multiplicatively with  armor and other damage reduction effects. At high amounts of armor, this makes the passive more effective than stacking additional armor.
  • Does not reduce damage dealt by turret shots.
  • Does not reduce damage from on-hit effects.
  • Does reduce the damage dealt by all sources (including champion abilities, items, monsters) as long as they are tagged as basic damage.
    • Before V13.5, the effect would not apply if the damage instance also had either proc or spell effects.
  • Does reduce valid magic damage components.
