...slightly reverse damage creep? I know a portion of the community has been on about this for a while, and almost every burst oriented champion brought pen runes to maximize damage early game.

Disclaimer: not a game designer at all (I work in HR) But...didn't everyone else also use flat armor runes and mr/level? So won't it pretty much all be coming out in the wash? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Damage creep escalated pretty hard actually with the new rune sistem ... watched some PBE game and you can easely see champ like the new Eve 100 to 0 ADC in 1.32 sec.

The loss of lethality and pen come with new way to deal even more dmg but there is almost nothing to compensate for the loss of defesive stat.

That feeling when a page full of scaling AP runes does less damage than a page full of magic penetration

Having magic pen does 300 more damage than 80 AP
