At this point I'm convinced that Riot don't even play their own game

EDIT: To the people upvoting the first post in this thread: Warrior lost it's armor pen, Last Whisper lost it's armor pen against squishies (approximately 30 against the average ADC's base armor) only to have 10 armor pen added to an item that most Assassins don't even build. Armor penetration was severely nerfed in this update, not buffed.

I think they're shifting Crit away from Assassins. You don't want to bank your entire Assassination attempt to 35% RNG, do you? ADCs can afford it because they also get crit from Shiv, PD, or Rapidfire. Assassins don't.

Armor Penetration is their intended Assassin stat, from the looks of it. It's on Youmuu's still, and they added it onto Maw of Malmortius. With both of those, you'll basically deal true damage to anything without Armor.

Bullshit change, i have to agree here. Lets give ad carries every tool to duel and ignore assasins but nerf the core items for assasins. Whatever, its pretty obvious that riot wants the ad carries to rule for a while again. Their new way of balancing is just making 5-10 champions ridicilously op every patch and then throw out some new bullshit. Its like dota now, we will get used to it.
