GreenGoose vs Sammas

[Sammas]

Sorry, it has just been quite a confusing facet of the game for me. Also, when I said "since if you try to rationalise it", I meant "you" in the general sense of anybody trying to figure out a simple way to represent the system - I wasn't making a personal attack.

I understand it now, although other turn-based systems do not have the same conundrum, because in those systems the duration of an effect does not depend on which player receives the effect. ie. the expiration timer for any effect is based on the player who produced the effect, not the player who receives it. The LoL ruleset is pretty much sui generis in taking the latter approach.

I can deal with it now that I understand it, but it's definitely not simple to figure out - for example, if I have Plauge(1), I don't really have the plague, and if I have Stoneskin(1), I won't be protected from the enemy.
