Then what in the hell did you think armour DOES?

??? ???

Is it there to make you look pretty?

???

Armour negates a percentage of the damage that people bought with gold. Thats EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES.

LW ignores 45% of bonus armour?? Armour ignores 45%+ of my total damage. The difference is that armour is EFFECTIVE ON ITS OWN whereas LW is worthless unless you have high damage (ignoring 45% armour means nothing if you're doing no damage to begin with).

Lethality ignores x armour? Armour ignores x lethality too.

The circlejerk is out of control. That "armour is worthless" because its ignored by varius factors, where armour is literally DESIGNED to ignore the damage you bought.

Yeah damage outscales armour but at the same time damage is weaker early than armour - because it needs to scale. If someone builds GB early, for the same gold you can get a sunfire cape. Sunfire cape is WAYY more impactful than GB, each on its own. Its just that you probably don't realize that and don't abuse the power of that spike.

Armor doesnt flat negate stats - and armor actually has diminishing returns past 200 armor.

Gold spent on armor should NOT be valued at less than gold spent on AD, and with the ease at which AD bypasses armor is just far, far to high. If armor items were 500~1000 gold cheaper you would have a very valid point, or if AD was halved.

Did you know when armor was strong ADCs had 200~250AD? And 1.2asp? And 50% crit chance? Right now ADCs have something like 70% total armor penetration (counting lethality, reduction, and penetration), 300AD, and 1.5asp. Did you know a marksman OUT DAMAGES a thousand AP burst mage with 45% CDR over 10 seconds? And thats with a mediocre build of item 3031 item 3006 item 3085 item 3046 item 3508 item 3812 with tank runes and masteries.

Sometimes i wonder if they should just remove arpen and mpen and then nerf armor and MR altogether. Would make the game way easier to balance, and less counter-picky
