With These to items on there own item 3071 + item 3036 + 7% from masteries, you get the following.

  • 82% armor pen
  • 100 ad + 1.5% per 50 hp difference.
  • 300 hp
  • 20% cd Cost is 5800 gold.

Normally Adc would get item 3087 + item 3031 which gives you

  • 70 ad + 120 magic dmg
  • 50% crit
  • 5% move speed
  • 35% attack speed For a cost of 6200 gold

Now my question is regardless who you attacking is 82% armor pen not more worth it, i mean 82% off of 200 armor or 60 armor is such a major thing. Armor -> whats left 60 -> 10.8 80 -> 14.4 120 -> 21.6 160 -> 28.8 300 -> 54

So can someone please give me their opinion, i mean it looks to me like all AD adc's should rush this? what you guys think

I think it doesn't work that way if you have 320 bonus armor, and black cleaver shreds 30% of that, there's 224 left. THEN LW and the mastery kicks in. that's 107 armor left.

That's closer to 66% bonus armor pen.

honestly all you need after IE and a Zeal item is lord dominik's regards and tanks aren't going to last long. there's no need to build cleaver on an ADC

It all depends on your opposition. if you want to melt tanks, go pen, to burst squishies, go crit

item 3071 reduces total armor by 30% (at max stacks) while item 3036 reduces bonus armor by 45%, so if I'm not mistaken the sum from, BC + LDR + 7% from masteries isn't exactly 82% armor penetration.

item 3071 reduces armor, which is different from penetrating armor (item 3036 ).

Armor reduction applies to your team / other sources of damage and flat reduction can bring them below 0. Reduction actually reduces their armor, as far as I know.

Armor penetration applies to you and is capped when they reach 0 armor...

I think. It's confusing.

Lasst whisper only works against bonus armor, so it is pointless against people who don't build that stat.
