Everybody knows Last Whisper is the problem and not items like IE

You need a lot less AD then you need AP to be effective and with armor and mr having the same value for their relative fields, why in the hell is last whisper shreding as much armor as Viod staff shreds mr?

IE is also a problem

Both of them are problems

Problems that Riot are afraid of addressing

Riot would need to rip their game apart and sew it back together if they want to address critical hits or percentile penetration vs. resistances...

The whole of AD itemization is problematic. IE rush has made marksmen mid games too strong, but after the BT nerf there's not really any other item that is a great first rush without leaving you with negligible damage. The only exceptions are marksmen that scale better with AS.

What is item 3078?

You have a point, there are some that rush it, though I think Corki and Ez are the highest candidates for it.

While last whisper might be problematic (it does solve a couple of problems like the season 2 tank meta) it is not in relation to ap vs ad since getting mr is much harder than armor (there are no 100 mr items while armor has two to not get started on a long analysis).

AD and AP are different because attacks and abbilities work different.

However MR and Armor work exactly the same. That's why LW and VS can work exactly the same.

But yeah they are way more of a problem than DFG or IE.
