Gah. Please rephrase the question a bit. I don't quite understand — Ritwik Bose, Aug 9 '10 at 4:42
He wants to know if Katarina's abilities do physical or magical damage. Physical damage is reduced by armor, while magical damage is reduced by magic resistance. — Matthew, Aug 9 '10 at 4:47
@Mechko he's using jargon. Most LoL players should be able to parse it. — tzenes, Aug 9 '10 at 4:49
@tzenes lol ok. I looked at it and thought "English parser detects crash imminent" — Ritwik Bose, Aug 9 '10 at 4:51

Thanks! It is as I imagined.. so it justifies the importance of sorcerer`s shoes for the magic penetration.

where do you find these information? I think RIOT should somehow provide these info. I often find myself stuck while choosing armor late game

@nimcap google? I found it across a couple sources as no one source gave me all the information.

I tried googling lots of times, I never found a source that contains all of the skills and their types. I wish RIOT added that information in game.

@nimcap when you pick a character the tooltip says what kind of damage the skills do. i mean ingame, not while chosing
