What Metal Skin actually gives you

Metal Skin delivers 12% bullet resist, -1.5mm active movespeed penalty, and -20% dash distance. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.
