it's not, if i'm going exactly by the wording in your question.
reduction (whether flat or percentage-based) occurs in the form of a debuff to a champion, and directly lowers their defense. your teammates benefit from this as much as you do.
penetration is a personal stat, and will be displayed on your character sheet. it says how much of a target's defense your attacks will ignore. penetration occurs after reduction. when looking at the two types of penetration, flat penetration is factored before percentage-based penetration. your champion's skills/attacks are the only ones that benefit from your penetration.
if your question was about why flat is factored before % in the case of penetration only, then the above reasons are correct. when percentage-based penetration is calculated first, it becomes so effective that those items are 'must buys' in every game and they greatly diminish how valuable defense would be.
hopefully that makes sense. feel free to ask questions if not. ![]( "Smile") |
