There is magic penetration boots but there is no armor penetration boots to counter the tanks at the early of game or those who buys zhonyas.

Lethality doesn't counter tanks. That's not what it's for. Lethality makes squishy, low-armor targets even more vulnerable. Building armor is the counter to lethality, not the other way around.

Champions that build lethality (i.e., assassins) are not supposed be able to kill tanks easily. That's the whole point of a tank.

Even though they kill tanks with ease right now. Good ol overkill LW changes.

Armor penetration, percentage of lethality

They're not the same. Lethality is scaling, flat armor penetration. It makes squishy things squishier, and building armor counters it.

Armor penetration is percentage-based armor penetration. It's more valuable the more armor a target has.

We don't have armor penetration boots because they would be busted on ADCs.

You notice how MR is cheaper than armor? How AD is more expensive than AP? Champions tend to have lower base MR and MR scaling than armor and armor scaling, and magic damage is less common than physical damage. Everybody deals physical damage. Not every champion deals magic damage.

Armor pen boots would need to be extremely low to be balanced, and by then, what's the point?

There's plenty of anti-tank items. We don't need freakin' boots that counter tanks, too.

There are so many options to kill tanks now Assassin hardly have at all an issue killing them pretty much once they get item 3071 item 3036 or both the tank is basically an AD carry with a ton of HP nor do squishes need to be one shot any harder

We need smth that u can roam with it and destroy the tanks like if u buy boots 1100 and a lethality item 1100 it cost 2200 but, armor penetration boot only costs 1100 and you can roam with it

BrightWîngsJul 16, 20191 votes

item 3036 costs 2800.... and its all you will ever really need the point being assassins SHOULDN'T be able to deal with tanks tanks are supposed to counter assassins

Then why we have magic penetration boots but we dont have to have armor penetration boots?, It has to be there as percentage of armor penetration to beat up tanks and roam as fast as it possible to win the game fast

Because mages have 3 items options for pen item 3020 item 3916 item 3135 AD champions have 6 options item 3142 item 3147 item 3814 item 3071 item 3036 and item 3033

not to mention conqueror is a thing a good portion of AD champions can take it and only a VERY small amount of mages can take it

AD that it can be used on and be effective Yasuo Aatrox Fiora Irelia Jax LeeSin Nasus Olaf Pantheon Riven Rengar Renekton RekSai Urgot Yorick Udyr Trundle Tryndamere Kled Kayn DrMundo Darius Camille Hecarim Illaoi

AP champs it can be effective on Akali Azir Cassiopeia Mordekaiser Sylas Singed Katarina are the only ones I've ever seen

AD champions have plenty of ways to deal with tanks lethality boots will only make squishes get one shot harder than they already do.

Late game both AD and AP champs can destroy tanks some champs just arnt good at killing tanks for example

Jhin Lux Orianna Ezreal Lissandra Kalista Ahri They can most certainly kill a tank but they arnt nearly as good at other champs because all there damage comes from burst.

You want lethality boots to beat the tanks early when most tanks are already pretty weak early there job is to just not die killing your opponent is secondary and more often required with the help of a jungler.

I agree item 3157 is too strong of an item but the way to fix this is to nerf the armor the item give by a little bit instead of adding more damage to the game.

Cuz i hate magic champions that buys armor

BrightWîngsJul 21, 20191 votes

so you hate counter play yep people should listen to you what am I saying

NY64Jul 16, 20191 votes

Yeah cause if there is one thing we need in this high damage meta is more damage.

DetramJul 17, 20191 votes

Ya exactly to roam fast and beat up tanks with percentage of armor penetration

xDogMeatxJul 17, 20191 votes

I imagine lethality boots to look like cleats.

Lmao, thats silly.

Just like there isnt a QSS item for APs. ... Or Grievous Wounds for AP costing 3000 (Morellos), but just 800 (Executioner Blade) for AD. Or an AP item that gives 300 Physical Dmg (Counterpart to Hexdrinker).

AD items are stronger than AP, you are completely wrong. (I talk to the Original Poster, Btw).
