Lethality

From the looks of it next season, there is going to be more Lethality than Armor Penetration this season. The runes/masteries/items are all getting buffs for Lethality. Thoughts?

They aren't getting buffs, I'm pretty sure lethality mathematically is worse or same as pen until lvl18.

lethality scales right? so lucian and jhin, etc. will scale better with youmuus rush. Hmm, but they're removing the attack speed form its active. It would still be strong tho right?

Yeah, it's like flat pen but partially scales with the opponent's level. Actually, now that I think about it, you're right. It might be still good for ADs since they are usually leveled a bit less than the opposing tanks.

But since item 3142 won't give att spd anymore, I'm actually not sure who will want that item post-update tbh.

I don't think Lethality will be nearly as bad to deal with since it scales off the level of the target, not the level of the champ who buys the lethality item. So it's a buff to supports, since they rarely reach level 18 so they effectively have more armor (if the enemy team builds lethality items).

It should just be a bit less snowbally, since if the enemy finishes an early ghostblade when you are underleveled they won't do nearly as much damage.

That said the new AD/MR item that gives a spelllshield on a low cooldown will proabably be super obnoxious to deal with.
