. Lets run down them pen boots for 1100, Liandry which not only give armor pen but does current percent health dmg perfect for tanks gets doubled when slowed. Then their is void staff which isnt BONUS mr but just straight pen. Lets also take into account that I think most champions, but yas, have a .5 mr scaling per lvl. Thats like 9 mr at lvl 18?
Oh i get ppl are going to take about how many mr options their are
( which wont even have mr next patch)
I think i missed some you can add them. So most adc's dont even buy eon, or maw which i dont know why so lets take Draven and look at his build and how much mr he has alont with scimitar cuz that almost the only mr item he builds, 12 from runes 8.5 from scaling and 35 from scimitar and 30 base = 85.5 now show the mrpen items 35% removes 29.9 so 30 or that 65.5 masteries and runes remove 13.83 so 51.67 - 30 from boots and liandrys = 21.67 mr left with all pen items. its more then enough to get through squishes, ppl dont even build all three and still destory squishies, because in most cases they dont even build mr items especially in lower ranks.
Also Magic pen is flat, while lethality scales with your targets lvl, changing next patch, they dont have boots for it, last whisper only works on bonus armor meaning its useless on ppl with no bonus armor. Also its good that you dont have a lot because its allows mages to build stacks of ap which helps a lot in the long run especially against squishes. Most champions have armor per lvl scalings, draven him self has 81.6 armor at lvl 18 along with
thats 141 armor at lvl 18 compared to his mr build I even forgot armor runes which are only 9 armor but forget that its not even much.
