He had everything except Arctic Armour which requires 10% reduced mana reservation at least to run Hatred, HoA and main skill on mana.

what do you mean by everything except arctic armour? you mean defensively? He doesnt have block, dodge, evasion, armour, hes not running any defense auras, his fortify isnt up, nothing is blinded, nothing is enfeebled... and he doesnt have arctic armour.

He got bursted down by hybrid attack damage which is exactly the same thing that killed him the last time I saw him die with a kaoms heart life stacking build, which is exactly the same thing I find sketchy as fk when I play kaoms heart life stacking builds. Theres situations where theyre strong, and situations where theyre weak.

the difference is a 1 shot that gets through block, dodge, evasion etc is lethal, a phys 1 shot crushes armour. Understanding that virtually nothing actually 1 shots you is important because this was not a 1 shot, most things are not 1 shots, and burst damage like this CAN be vastly reduced through avoidance and damage reductions.

You doubt anyone could do anything but die? Clearly a life based build with strong defenses would have survived that. This is not path of one shots, that was a fair death to burst damage that any number of life based builds with a lot less hp would have survived. His block based Surrender crit sword build from last league would probably have survived that situation. Hes not playing a bad build, he knows the game, hes an expert player, he just came across a situation that this particular build was inadequately equipped to defend against. 8500 life does not automatically = a well defended character that is capable of taking on everything. Theres situations where a hybrid armour + evasion + block or a coil + evasion + dodge character is going to reduce incoming damage by 80-90%, do the math on how much pure life or es youre going to need to survive something that kills those builds in those situations.

Stacking life defends against elemental 1 shots, true 1 shots. This was not a 1 shot, this is an example of burst attack damage that pure life and pure es characters are woefully weak against. People write off defenses that save characters in these situations because they wrongfully claim the game is full of 1 shots that these defenses wont save you from. Its a very important distinction to make.

"What?" indeed.

... so seriously, what the fuck happened? It looked like a shitton of degen? Beyond mob with unrighteous fire? Chaos degen? Did he get bled by something?
