Anyone else not looking forward to 80 flat armor pen Zed?

I know lethality is a little bit different than armor pen, but unless I'm mistaken the dmg output will be pretty close.

So Zed will probably build all three lethality items, with 12 armor pen from runes, and I think it's around 8 from the cunning tree mastery...so around 80 flat armor pen. Hopefully supports with shields and hard cc will overtake harass supports to cope with roaming Zed and Talon . Very glad Riot is adding Knight's Vow.

MissFortune will probably have 52 lethality, assuming she still builds at least two lethality items and uses armor pen marks. And then she'll have the 7% from masteries, and Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper in most games. She may be a little stronger bc of the changes. Plus the movement speed pairing with W...she's going to be flying (though not quite QuinningQuinn ) across the map.

Quinn will also utilize the lethality items for the armor pen and movement speed. Maybe see a spike in jg Quinn ?

Just some general thoughts on lethality.

lethality is unique passive on items that have it

logic is invalid

How does this statement have anything to do with what OP posted?

All the items that have it can't stack. Ergo impossible to stack lethality.

False.

Its only unable to stack with the same item.

If you bought 3 ghostblades it wouldnt stack.

Or if it was named like trinity force, sheen, lichbane is all named spellblade.

So if all 3 weapons had lethality - sharpness it wouldnt stack.

is it a named unique passive? otherwise you can still buy all 3 items and get all the effects

That's not quite how it works in this case. Lethality is a keyword, not a passive name, much like armor penetration, and as such it will stack from multiple sources.

Then why does Duskblade scale with lethality?

FantasySniper2 votes

It's actually been majorly nerfed. What was once 15 arm.pen. is now only 6.5 to 15 based on enemy level.

Armor Pen runes are removed.

First of all its Lethality. Secondly it scales with the targets level,so snowballers can'5 snowball out of control.
