Daily vs Daily
Questions that came up before, side by side. Different days have different players, and some had seen the question already.
Questions asked before
- October 2924% right · about 40 players
- November 40% right · about 30 players
- November 9 (this Daily)24% right · about 35 players
- November 440% right · about 30 players
- November 9 (this Daily)22% right · about 35 players
- November 622% right · about 35 players
- November 728% right · about 25 players
- November 9 (this Daily)16% right · about 50 players
Kinds of question that keep coming back
- Ability cooldown flat questions came up on 3 of the Dailies in the 14 days before this one. Across them, 26% of about 210 first answers were right (different questions of the same kind, all in Quiz mode).
- Role quest questions came up on 8 of the Dailies in the 14 days before this one. Across them, 30% of about 290 first answers were right (different questions of the same kind, all in Quiz mode).
How these numbers are made
- Only official first attempts count: bot opponents, replays, owner takes and test runs are excluded, and each player counts once per question.
- Every community number comes from at least 20 players; player counts are rounded.
- Each mode is graded differently, so mode rates are not comparable with each other.
Mechanics Lab
Try it yourself
Each lab starts from one of the day's questions and shows every number the formula gives at that point.
Armor lab
A champion has 100 armor and buys Thornmail, which gives 75 armor (now 175 armor). Ignore penetration and every other effect. By how many percentage points does the purchase increase the percent of incoming physical damage their armor reduces? Round to the nearest whole percentage point.
Answer: 14 percentage points Read question 23
Of about 35 players, 24% chose the right answer and 46% chose 27 percentage points.
Starting at 100 armor and buying Thornmail, the question moved to 175 armor. One purchase, four different numbers:
Damage taken as a share of raw damage. Dashed line: 100 armor, where the question started. Gold line: the armor you picked.
- Damage taken
- 36.4% of raw
- was 50% at 100
- Blocked by armor
- 63.6%
- Gain in percentage points
- +13.6 points
- What the question asked
- Less damage taken
- 27.3% less
- Effective health
- +37.5%
- 275% of your health bar, against this damage type
damage taken = raw damage × 100 / (100 + armor) (Mogzy damage engine). Each extra point of armor adds the same 1% of effective health, which is why the percent blocked grows more slowly as armor rises.
Ability haste lab
Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Lich Bane, what is its cooldown?
Answer: 90.9 seconds Read question 19
Gragas R (Explosive Cask): 100 s base cooldown, 10 ability haste in the question. The solid line is the real cooldown; the dashed line is what you get if you read haste as a flat percent off.
Cooldown in seconds. Solid line: the real cooldown. Dashed line: the flat-percent misread.
- Real cooldown
- 90.9 s
- What the question asked
- Cooldown cut
- 9.1%
- If haste were a percent
- 90 s
- the common mistake
cooldown = base × 100 / (100 + ability haste), rounded to the nearest 0.1 s (Mogzy cooldown engine). 100 haste halves a cooldown; it never reaches zero.
4 ideas from the November 9 Daily
The clearest, most varied lessons from the day, each one an idea you can reuse in your own games. The complete list of questions follows after them.
Idea 1
Stat check
Hp Higher wins
- Doran's Blade80 HP
- Kaenic RookernAnswer400 HP
Difference: 320 HP
Bars start at 0.
Hp: Doran's Blade 80 HP, Kaenic Rookern 400 HP. Kaenic Rookern is the answer (higher wins, difference 320 HP). On this day's Daily
Which item gives more Health? Doran's Blade or Kaenic Rookern?
Answer: Kaenic Rookern
Kaenic Rookern has 400 HP and Doran's Blade has 80 HP, so Kaenic Rookern is higher.
Worked out from the recorded question data.
Idea 2
Compare champion stats
Base stats are what a champion has before items, runes and other bonuses are added. Two champions can differ clearly in a stat such as health, armor or attack range, and those differences shape how each one trades in lane.
Attack range at level 1 Higher wins
- Ivern475
- JannaAnswer550
Difference: 75
Bars start at 0.
Attack range at level 1: Ivern 475, Janna 550. Janna is the answer (higher wins, difference 75). On this day's Daily
At level 1, which champion has more attack range: Ivern or Janna?
Answer: Janna
Ivern has 475 and Janna has 550 attack range at level 1, so Janna is higher.
Remember: Compare base stats at the level the question gives, before any items or runes.
Idea 3
Cooldown under items
Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.
How ability haste shortens a cooldown Gragas R (Explosive Cask), rank 1
100 sBase cooldown×100 / (100 + 10)10 ability haste=90.9 sFinal cooldownFormula: base × 100 / (100 + haste). Exact value 90.91 s, shown as nearest 0.1 s.

Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Lich Bane, what is its cooldown?
Answer: 90.9 seconds
Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a cooldown of 100 seconds at rank 1. Lich Bane grants 10 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 10 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 100 seconds x 100 / (100 + 10) = 90.9 seconds.
- 100 × 100 / (100 + 10) = 90.9 s
Remember: Add up the haste that applies to that ability slot, then scale the base cooldown by one hundred over one hundred plus haste.
Idea 4

Smite timing · question 6You are holding two Smite charges and you cast one. What is the shortest time before you can cast Smite again?Answer: 15 seconds
Lesson 6
Smite timing
The idea
Smite's timing involves three separate ideas that are easy to merge: how long a charge takes to come back, the short lockout between two casts, and the moment the recharge clock starts. Telling them apart is what lets you plan Smite for a contested objective.
The question as asked
You are holding two Smite charges and you cast one. What is the shortest time before you can cast Smite again?
- A.15 seconds(correct answer)
- B.90 seconds
- C.60 seconds
- D.10 seconds
The explanation
With a charge already banked you are not waiting on the 90 seconds recharge — you are waiting on the 15 seconds lockout between casts. Smite holds up to 2 charges, and that lockout is what stops you spending both at once.
Remember: Keep Smite's recharge, its lockout between casts and the start of its recharge as three separate things.

Lesson 12
Resistance mitigation percent
The question as asked
A champion has 40 armor and buys Bramble Vest, which gives 30 armor (now 70 armor). Ignore penetration and every other effect. By how many percentage points does the purchase increase the percent of incoming physical damage their armor reduces? Round to the nearest whole percentage point.
- A.41 percentage points
- B.30 percentage points
- C.13 percentage points(correct answer)
- D.18 percentage points
The explanation
Damage reduced by armor = armor / (100 + armor). Before: 40 / 140 = 28.6%. After: 70 / 170 = 41.2%. The difference is 12.6 percentage points, so 13 percentage points. (Percentage points are a difference of two percents, not a relative change.)

Cooldown under items · question 19Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Lich Bane, what is its cooldown?Answer: 90.9 seconds
Lesson 19
Cooldown under items
The idea
Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.
The question as asked
Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Lich Bane, what is its cooldown?
- A.77.3 seconds
- B.90.9 seconds(correct answer)
- C.83.3 seconds
- D.90 seconds
The explanation
Gragas R - Explosive Cask has a cooldown of 100 seconds at rank 1. Lich Bane grants 10 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 10 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 100 seconds x 100 / (100 + 10) = 90.9 seconds.
- 100 × 100 / (100 + 10) = 90.9 s
- Why not 90 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.

Lesson 23
Resistance mitigation percent
The question as asked
A champion has 100 armor and buys Thornmail, which gives 75 armor (now 175 armor). Ignore penetration and every other effect. By how many percentage points does the purchase increase the percent of incoming physical damage their armor reduces? Round to the nearest whole percentage point.
- A.14 percentage points(correct answer)
- B.75 percentage points
- C.64 percentage points
- D.27 percentage points
The explanation
Damage reduced by armor = armor / (100 + armor). Before: 100 / 200 = 50.0%. After: 175 / 275 = 63.6%. The difference is 13.6 percentage points, so 14 percentage points. (Percentage points are a difference of two percents, not a relative change.)
