Here is how to survive the lethality meta:

Build some early armor or health, it will prevent them from one shotting you. Yes, even on squishy mages and adcs. Remember, these assassins are looking for easy targets, don't make yourself an easy target and you won't die.

I thought the problem with lethality was the fact that ADCs were abusing it, not assassins. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can see how assassins could abuse it, but I don't see it as much.

I thought the problem with lethality was that building early armor had no effect

Actually, if the enemy has lethality, building armor will really lower their damage. I would rather have 60 effective armor after lethality than 10 effective armor.

it's quite the opposite, considering that with sayitem 3134 it gives 10 lethality for 1100 gold, and consider that you can completely negate that armor pen and then some, for 300 gold item 1029 like unless you are level 18 then you are getting significantly more armor than they are negating with lethality --for a much lower price point.

But sure, unless you are stacking armor vs someone who is stacking damage, eventually the damage will outscale your tankiness but at least building some armor early will heavily stifle the mid game spike that lethality gives.

Was watching a LCK (korean) match a few days ago and legit 7/10 players bought item 3047

4/5 bought it on one team, and 3/5 bought it on the other.

And yes, it was because of lethality, the teams had things like Jayce and Varus running around

But I need my damage items to kill stuff and my champ builds glass cannon!

While I kind of agree that building a little defense early is a good idea, it's bad timing because rito nerfed rylai's this season.
