Viability / General Use: High viability. Tank item specifically used to counter enemy basic attackers and reflect a portion of damage back to them.

Advantages: Very high physical protection. Mana and MP5 are helpful.

Disadvantages: No magical protection, no health.

Restrictions: None.

Discussion: This is a counter item for tanks to reflect damage back at basic attackers and put more pressure on them. With no magical protection or health, it is typically best to combine this with other items that provide other needed stats.

Situationally purchased early to mid game for Solo-laners when facing basic attackers in their lane, or by any tanks in the late game to counter basic attackers. More functional against critical damage. Useful for tanks in all other modes.

Quoted:

Popular for Supports in Conquest, and situationally for Solo-laners when facing basic attackers in their lane. Useful for tanks in all other modes.

For solo laners (who I believe this item is predominantly built on), this can be built not just to counter their lane opponents. In the late game, solo usually looks to dive and pressure/zone carries out of a fight. The ADC will be more of a threat the later the match goes on, and Nemean can be a good option for adding more pressure.

In my mind this is less of a support item.

Hmmm, I can agree with that. Adjusting.

Is the damage reflected calculated before or after protections?

(46) |

Before. Its not explicitly stated in the description.
The one exception to this case is spectral armor. It gives diminishing returns to the reflected passive.

Check out my fenrir guide. I dud some testing with pappsi on this.

I believe (but am not sure) that is NOT supposed to reduce the passive function from . It seems like a coding error by HR.

Ok. I was wondering how useful it was to stack physical protection items with this against a crit building god. Now I know.

Bran, I don't think you understand what the word "in game" means. The picture you uploaded is from smitefire, which is NOT what I am referring to. But it's ok. I understand. You're old.

All jokes aside, this is what I'm referring to:

Just kiss and make-up already.

Also I was paying 1/5th attention because we had a party at our house, I was drinking, and I spent 2 minutes doing that.

It's pretty good to counter lifesteal as you do remove 20% of it. neamean is strong with that active yeah but with the new anti lifesteal armor it's probably also going to be stronger (or tottally the opposite)
