Countering-Hp Stack

An item that does extra damage based on the enemies max hp (or even current!).

E.G

GlovesX - +200 mana, +1% Damage (of opponents Max HP).

So this would give +70 damage to a UB with 7k hp and would do only +20 damage vs a 2khp Reg.

Of course figures can be changed (0.8%, 0.2% - whatever).

Personally I think hp stacks are over-rated. In the hands of a pro, it does make DG very hard to kill but pros are hard to kill by definition.

Scream more Ryan. Pretending HP stack is not a problem is bollocks.

I agree with Ryan. Unless you are going against a well cordinated team with heals and shields, there comes a point in the game where you hit a certain damage threshold and you can totally own hp stackers. Even if they have heals and shields you can trick your opponents into protecting the wrong person and still own them.

Hp stacking gives you an early game advantage but if you fail to capitalize on it you will get owned.

This is a good mechanical idea for an item. I`m not sure if there is a need for the facility to counter any particular strategy of Demigod play as discussed here, but nonetheless this is a good idea.

hp stacking creates less diversity in item choice, and therefore makes item choice static and boring.  People not dying is not causing this debate.

yes, thats what bugs me most about the game. i really would like to play another combo than unbreakable, flemish, crown, hauberk and unbreakable and early on these cheaper items, but they are just too good and give too much of a boost for all the things you need. so if i get +weapon damage i would salvage another item thats just better! so perhaps its not the hp-stacking thats too useful, its the damage and attack speed stacking that is far too expensive.

so  k1 from me dalzk. its a good idea though it must be balanced well. 1% propably istn enough later on since you get >30hp/s.

QFT!!!!

learn to team up and gear for team tactics! who is the most focused target? does really any player need hp stackign?

it is not hp stacking the problem. this and calls for overpowerness is what i hear imediatly when someone faces something he cannot handle. don't make it so easy for you. watch ther eplay and start to learn. if you cannot then accomodate with your level.

You know what the easiest way to address HP stacking would be? Replace the HP flag on Cataract with something else.

I think the item in the OP is a good idea. Out of every offensive equip in the gloves category, if this was implemented i would choose this almost every time (if ppl choose to go hp stacking, otherwise id just use slayers wraps).

Hp stacking is no different from anyother strategy, I hate people who spam rooks towers but I'm not trying to get ian item just to battle towers. That's why we og qot XD, wait I've forgotten the point I was trying to make...

Slayer's wraps are expensive and give very little DPS. Why not nature's reckoning?

Why? One costs over twice as much as the other and deals significantly less damage.

HP stacking is too strong because the HP equipment itself is much more useful per cost than attack equipment.  Best solution would be to boost attack stacking through equipment, or nerf HP stacking in the same way.
