New Patch Going To Release Too Much Magic Penetration

Prison Monkey·2/7/2018, 7:05:45 PM·1 votes·399 views

Most tanks only build 1 - 2 MR items because of how many lethality and armor pen items Ad champs have. But with the new patch coming, this is what there is going to be a total of (including domination rune)

AD: 74 Lethality 24% armor reduction from Black Cleaver when proc'd 6 times 35% Armor Penetration

AP: 53 Magic Penetration 40% Magic Penetration

Some may be saying "This is good, its about time Ap champs get to abuse Magic penetration like Ad players been doing for the past year", but it's not good. Ad champions mostly have long cooldowns even with 40% cd reduction they have 6 second cooldowns. And if they want to auto attack then they have to get in range to do it. While AP Champs get about 2-3 second cooldowns, making it absolutely aids. People are going to have to build Armor and MR every game now because everyone is going to be doing even more damage as if it wasnt bad already.

Thats just my opinion on it. What is yours?

Wait where is this new magic pen coming from? I thought all they did was move it from item 3136 to a new item.

Where is your math? Cause I'm not seeing the "2-3 second cooldowns" on AP champs.

Sheesh. Biased AD main complaints again.

Typical.

And fyi, it is good we are finally getting more mpen cause we didn't even get a rune for it!

If only you spent the time making this thread reading the change list a second time you would've noticed they removed the pen from Liandries.

Maximum MPen values haven't changed.

Isn't that how it was always supposed to be? There was a time when playing a full AD or full AP team meant that you were at a serious disadventage. Now i often see full AD team win because AP aren't just worth the while nowadays. Glad to see them force AP back in the meta.

All I read from this was " WAAAAAA I AM NO LONGER OP AND MAGES NOW HAVE A CHANCE AT DOING SOMETHING, LET ME WHINE ON FORUMS"

I think that it will fine, considering Liandries is no long a must buy on mages. So that will probably see half or less game time than it currently does, plus with the new Lost Chapter items only having 10% CDR we might see people getting CDR boots instead of Penetration.

Also, since void staff got a nerf in penetration, it probably won't come 3rd item every single time.

I think it will work itself out.
