Damage Falloff

Description

Some area abilities pay full damage to one target and less to the rest, so the big number in the tooltip is the best case, not what every enemy takes. Two shapes ship. Distance falloff measures how far a hex is from the centre of the blast: Ahri's orb takes 20% off for every hex away from where it lands. Pierce falloff counts bodies instead, and every line-shaped ability in the roster uses it — Ashe's arrow, Varus's arrow, Ezreal's blast, Elder Dragon's fire and every version of Lux's laser cut their damage again for each enemy the shot has already passed through. Both shapes stop at a floor written into the ability, usually somewhere between a fifth and half of the listed number, so the last enemy in a long line still takes a real hit. The practical reading: line abilities want to be aimed at a long row of enemies for total damage, but if you need one enemy dead, fewer bodies in front of it is better.
