How much do elemental affinities impact debuff chances?

Currently, I use Aothar in arena to lock down healers or support champions that pose a big risk. One thing I have noticed is that if the target's affinity is one that Aothar is weak against (green), the chances of me successfully locking them down drops substantially. Just wondering, how much of an impact does affinity have on resistance, whether weak against him (blue), normal (red), or strong (green)?

Video doesn't answer it entirely, as not every debuff is cast by an attack. If an attack is a weak attack, zero percent chance to land the debuff. Thus debuffs that are tied to an attack have a 35% reduction in being able to land.


However debuffs that arent tied to an attack cannot be a weak attack, therefor these are unaffected. (for example lyssandras cooldown reduction ability doesnt deal damage, therefor is unaffected by affinity)


At least that's what it seems like from the info we have.

debuffs vs affinities is only a problem when hitting weak. then no debuff can be applied


a weak hit is a hit on a stronger affinity (35% chance to hit weak, no amount of c rate can negate that 35%)

for example a blue hitting a red
