There was absolutely no reason at all the completely gut armor like this. When counters like flat pen and last whisper already were massively effective. I have no idea on what to do as a tank now, you get melted no matter what now. Getting armor when behind his like buying overpriced tinfoil armor that wont help even a bit. The new juggernauts get to be unkillable and strong but not tanks? Armor is a complete joke.
IcyPepper2 voteslower armorpen to 30% and raise LW's cost to 2500 from 2300, increasing its AD to 45
BORK on longer lifesteals off its unique active, AD raised to 30 from 25.
Can we get something reasonable like that? :V
Fadedpf1 votesI would say that is reasonable even before these armor nerfs. Now armor is literally nothing to a snowballing AD champion or ADC.
M Dragon141 votesThey are doing this most likely due to the fact that recently adc has been kind of useless in this meta..... And now with riot making fighters more attractive, it makes it harder for ADC's to do anything.
PeachsProperty1 votes% based are unaffected(last whisper) flat pen the change isnt much. as if u read the patch notes they buffed tanks armor stat to compensate.
Fadedpf1 votesAlmost all of those were support champions that cant afford this new armor. So unless every champion got compensated you can not pull that one, and with all the counters for tanks and armor that already exist. There was no reason at all to gut armor unless last whisper was not in the game. Maybe you don't know how good last whisper is, the cost effectiveness of it only gets better with the more armor you have.

more often than not they built tanky. they got mroe armor growth(or health if they are more sup than tank) so they will STILL be tanky while other champs(like assassins) wont be as tanky (Irelia fits someone who will be hurt by the change but thats ok she isnt a tank primarily)
LW does % pen.
1 armor-1,000,000 armor same % is negated.
brutalizer will get a bit stronger, but flat pen isnt easy to stack high(without sacrificing other stats)
TheDogIsOut1 votesSo they nerfed top/junglers juggernaughts/tanks that will now get even more shit on by botlane's kite. And to compensate they buff supports
