Few years after introduction of Lethality what are your thoughts now ?
Why exactly we need lethality rather than just have old school armor penetration ? And why we need armor if Lethality is just better than armor pen items ?

It is good and the rework did its job lethality as a stat gets though base protections while being very bad vs someone building armor and it also can't snowball as hard as flat armor pen riot probably should do the same with flat magic pen.
The only problem is duskblade but that is a item and not a stat.
Duskblade is the only problem lethality item.
And I’d say not even because of the ludacrisly high damage it provides.
For YEARS the main counter to assassins has been vision, and between the gutting of vision and the buffs to duskblade, vision is no longer a counter to an assassin, more so just feeding them an extra minion of gold.
Duskblade is still good even though the slow is rather inconsequential. Ghostblade is good the bonus movespeed out of combat is amazing. Edge is still trash but well we saw what happened when it was good. In a way lethality kinda just turned into 2 items you get on every ad assassin which is extremely bland and well outside of pyke who actually has a reason to build lethality there is no good reason to build edge.
