Whenever you hear this, what it means is that a certain effect has an increased percentage, but not directly increased. If you have 20% of something, and an item or skill that gives another 20% of that something, if it stacks diminishingly, it will not equal 40%!
The way to work out diminishing returns is to use this formula:
T = C/100 + (100-C)/100 * E/100
T is the Total percent, C is the Current percent, and E is the Extra percent.
1St of all, multiple Burizas on a hero will cause the critical strike chance to stack diminishingly. To calculate the chance to critical strike, for a hero with two burizas, we use the Diminishing Return formula:
T = 0.20 + (100-20)/100 * 0.20
= 0.20 + 0.80 * 0.20
= 0.36
With two burizas, a hero has a 36% chance to Critical Strike.
A hero with Critical Strike as a skill who gets Buriza will be Critical Striking a lot, but it is important to note that when the infamous "double critical" occurs (when you see two criticals appear at one time, on your screen), they do not stack. The hero's skill will take precedence over the item's effect, which can be a good thing sometimes, or a bad thing others.When a hero has a Crystalys and Buriza, again, when the infamous double critical occurs, it doesnt really happen - the criticals do not stack! In this case, the Crystalys's critical strike will take precedence over the Buriza's critical strike, so you will actually deal less damage than you would have, had you just got a Buriza
alone
This Excel file is dedicated to those that knew the formula but are to lazy to count by themselves and also to dota-freaks that wanna know precise numbers on most dota situations.
The Spreadsheet contains these sheets:
* Bashes
* Stout or Vanguard?
* Criticals stacking (Average damage with criticals and innate crits and images)
* Buriza vs MKB DPS (damage per second) based on IAS & Damage
* DPS based on IAS & Damage
* Reaper-Scythe Exact Kill Zone (for the derivation see my guide in dota-allstars.com Mechanics>Guides&Lists)
* Sunder
Enable Macros as they serve functionality and i assure and guarantee you that the file is clean. (code and formulas aren't protected, you can see them)
