Armor Pen is getting out of hand

So armor pen is just a bit broken to me.

With 1 item you get 45% pen item 3036 item 3033 and a good effect. With another you get to remove 30% armor get AD, HP, CD, and a speed boost.item 3071 Then if you don't need to remove large amounts of armor there's item 3156 item 3142 item 3147

Assuming you get Black Cleaver, Duskblade, and Lord Dominik's that's 50% + 30% removed + 10

While mages onyl get 4 items item 1311 item 3151 item 3001 item 3135 All of this removing 35% + 15 + 15 + 20 removing no where near as much as AD champs and you get a lot less effects.

Honestly I feel Riot has over done it with AD champs. I assume these items were aimed at mostly assassins but it makes it to where tanks cannot be played since you armor is cut in half with 1 time and mages are just out classes. Someone gets 1 MR item and your damage is cut my almost half and then you have to build void staff since all the others don't do much of anything for pen.

IDK maybe I'm just garbage and don't understand the mighty ritos thinking but to me this season has been so annoying since every match has a zed, talon, yi, jax, or previously rengar before the nerf. And even if I build 300 armor I feel like I'm squishy.

Just my thoughts I'll stick in my cardboard 5 and try to enjoy the game. What does anyone else think?

There is also usually a lot less MR built as the enemy usually builds 1 MR item and tanks usually have 1 MR item +2-3 armor items.

Armor is easier to build than MR. Also void staff reduces their total MR.. The last whisper and it's items only reduce bonus armor.
