How did Lethality affect ArPen ADC builds?

Obviously there were some direct nerfs, like Ghostblade losing the attack speed, and Duskblade losing some AD and getting a less useful passive for ADCs, but how did the shift from ArPen to Lethality affect the build path overall? Is the damage loss noticeable early game? Does the enemy level scaling keep it from falling off as hard compared to crit?

It basically killed the ArPen builds on ADCs, as it was supposed to. ADCs were never supposed to abuse those items, and now, they really can't. Pretty much the only exception is Vayne and Duskblade, but that's about it.

Personally I feel like they just renamed it from Armor pen to Lethality and all high-fived eachother lol.
