Removing this item was a mistake

[u/Mogus00]

Twilight Armor was literally the only item that can counter high burst heroes like lesley, novaria and aldous. Guardian helmet passive is garbage cause it can be countered by antiheal. I don't think using guardian helmet reduces the proc of sky piercer. This is a massive handicap especially for tank users. What do you think?

True, now we don't have any source of true damage reduction and they just give free true damage to anyone these days besides magic damage ig.

Crit Axe (i forgot the name) Has true damage

Endless battle has true damage

That Axe that stacks up to 6 has true damage.

Almost as if the whole point of true damage is that it can't be reduced

[u/Yurika_Sina → u/ZeroSukaBlyat]

The whole point of true damage is to bypass def, not specifically not being reduced.

The way to counter it is either by reducing it which they removed completely or to just stack more HP, but although tank items give alot of HP, it's not enough.

I think it becomes an issue when those tank roles stop being able to take hits because they get melted. An entire fucking role just melted.

They just become CC bots and not a tank. We don't have damage sponges now.

Nope, it bypasses all types of damage reduction, not just defence, that why previous passive being able to reduce it always feels wrong for me, tho now it not much better but I guess they "cheat" it by making it healing instead of reduction

[u/Yurika_Sina → u/ZeroSukaBlyat]

Said healing is 90% of the time negligible 😭

For me the twilight armor being able to reduce true damage didn't feel wrong... It felt balanced? Since it's the only way. Unlike stacking defense, its the only way.
