Just remove Lethality/Armor Pen from the game. I don't know what it is, but even at diamond + level these players absolutely do not understand how this stat works.

I'm having d3-2 Zed Telling me till they're blue in the face that item 3142 item 3814 item 3147 Is good vs

Maokai item 3068 item 3027 item 3047 Rengar item 3742 item 3047 item 3068 item 3071 Ryze item 3157 item 3110 item 3047 item 3027 TahmKench And basically shit talk me and ignore me pleading them to buy a fucking last whisper because "lethality counters armor so stfu fucking noob boosted jungler trash kys."

Same goes for the Jhins, and the Quinns, and just about any lethality user in the game. They'll buy lethality items into 5 tanks and do 10,000 damage in a 50 minute game and then blame the jungler, or some other crap.

I'll be 13/1/15 Kindred with 70,000 damage dealt and it'll be my fault we lost because I picked Kindred. And not the combined score of 3/60/4 of the rest of my team that's all lethality, including the Gnar

It has become disgustingly obvious to me that even at a diamond 3-2 level, League of Legends of players are literally too stupid to understand the basic concept of a freaking stat, so just remove it from the game. I'm sure they'll still find a way to struggle and build item 3089 on Darius or some stupid crap, but at least then I'll know they're a true troll, and not some stupid toxic dumb shit KR following meta slave who actually has 0 competence at all and is for all intents and purposes inting down the lane because someone is questioning their KR build they found on MOBA fire that DOESN'T. WORK. IN. AGAINST. THIS. PARTICULAR. ENEMY TEAM.

I don't know how many monkeys I've ran into today, but the fact I've won lane consistently, and dominated each and every enemy team and lose in higher elo SOLELY because my lethality monkeys are too retarded too understand how to play the game at the level they're somehow at and have developed such a high ego attached to their stupidity that trying to win games with them is practically impossible. I don't know man. I'm just done. Remove Lethality from the game. Fuck it all. I don't want to see this stat anymore. IT's just too complex for any player below rank 10 challenger I guess.

I am gold and I still don't get exactly how lethality works. All I know it somehow scales with lvls. Though I am too lazy to do maths and investigate all bits of it. I just want to enjoy the game. REMOVE LETHALITY, IT GIVES NO FUN.

if they built armor, lethality works, im wondering if you understand its effect. Its not confusing at all 100 lethality is 60 flat armor pen upfront and the 40 is scaling(2.2 per enemy level)

These builds did need a last whisper though as %pen will do more against high numbers,

Though the trade off is smaller than you think when comparing item 3035 item 3147 ,,, due to last whisper/doms having a lot less ad , no true damage passive, it lacks a movement speed buff, and does nothing to enemy traps.

Armor Reduction and Percentage Armor Pen apply before Flat Armor Pen.

The more percentage penetration/reduction you have, the more valuable Lethality is.

Unsurprisingly, the Zed's finally build would have probably been: item 3158 item 3142 item 3814 item 3147 item 3071 item 3036

This would pretty much entirely negate the tank's armor.

Honestly, you probably had bigger issues if the entire enemy team was stacking armor (including Ryze and Rengar). That would likely indicate you had a full AD team and screwed yourself in champion select.
