Armor pen runes only work on Zed.....

Every champ I have tried armor pen runes the only one it seems to work is Zed. For some reason Vi doesn't even benefit from them at all. Is this a bug or something because every ad champ even Khazix and Kled don't benefit from the runes themselves. The items work but the runes don't seem to do anything. I found this because a zed with just a serrated dirk can burst the crap out of anyone lvl 4-6. Yet any other AD champ with full runes cant burst at all untill they get 2 completed armor pen items. And the runes don't count at all considering they should count as a completed armor pen item.

So you take ad champ that isnt zed give him Ghostblade, Duskblade, and his burst is crazy. If you give that same champ runes+ Duskblade, BF sword his burst is poop even though the lethality is higher.

And somehow Vi doesn't seem to benefit from lethality at all.

Lethality runes scale so they are weaker early. Lethality runes have to be stronger on Nasus than AD. Armour pen is probably strong on Garen Illaoi and I think they are a choice for Yorick

lethality is ls only good after a couple items as it scales with your level. so unless you can play safe and poke and farm then they are bad. zed can do both so they work on him and yes once you get 2 - 3 items and 10 levels boom your damage is off the charts
