Riot needs to rework Armor and Magic Resist pen so you have to make a choice

You either build to kill squishies faster or you build to kill tanks stacking the resist, not both.

I feel a lot of problems would be solved if people didnt stack lethality then get LDR or someone with tons of magic pen then buys Void Staff to deal with squishies and tanks.

and then tanks will just cc the enemy assassins and mages more then they already do, and make it that much more impossible to do anything

Not if we lower all CDR on items.

I agree. That way every member will have a clear objective.

I think getting rid of flat pen on items (maybe allowing certain champs to have some in their kit instead) would be a healthier way to go about it. Put all the Lethality stuff to % pen instead, and have them stack multiplicative instead of additive. Then Lethality runes could give you 15% pen, then LW gives 40%, so it's 51% total (just as an example). Exact values of items and runes would most likely need to be tweaked, but I'm talking mostly about the concept here rather than the numbers.

THIS creates a choice: A) Build Lethality/Mpen to shred tanks or B) Build raw damage to shred squishies

Seems much simpler to design for, and easier for players to understand as well, while still creating an actual choice about who you are itemizing against.
