Magic pen...

Triggers my OCD because armor pen is now called Lethality so you have almost every stat with it's counterpart:

AP - AD AS - CDR Health - Mana Armor - Magic resist (close to trigger...) Lethality - Magic penetration.......................................

So I propose that we name Magic pen: Hex

while the name might seem connected to Hextech, it's the only thing that comes to my mind when thinking about anti magic resistance... Now magic resistance could be called something else as well like... Veil? I dunno thoughts?

Well Lethality is named so to differentiate it from %armor pen, so...

If we changed the name of magic pen, we'd have more discorrelation with %magic pen being different from %armor pen.

If we didn't, then people might think there's a difference between how %magic pen and flat magic pen work, which would be confusing.

No favorable scenarios D:

well, they do work differently and yes, renaming armor pen did solve that problem which is a plus I guess, though, naturally Lethality works different from Armor pen since it scales towards late game as opposed to being simply flat, so changing the name might imply a change in mechanic which is not needed.

They don't quite work differently, one's a % and the other's a flat, as opposed to Lethality/armor pen with one being scaling flat and the other being just a normal %.

Although that still needs more clarification, since it counts bonus %armor pen into the % armorpen category, which makes it not quite accurate.

yes the differences between all of that can be tricky, differentiating %pens from flat pens would help a bit I believe and would keep a steady pace within stats. As it is now one starts to wonder why Lethality seems to be the foster kid and once you look into it, it kinda is...
