Too much armor pen for tanks to be useful

Morgy Morgy··2 votes·466 views

Why the hell is there so much armor pen and %hp damage being thrown into so many champs and items? Practically every champ released recently has some sort of %hp damage, not to mention the existence of botrk and the sudden fuckton of armor pen items. It just seems unnecessary.

Actually a lot of armor pen items were nerfed.

%health damage is annoying (specially when it's magic damage that scales AD) but without it health stacking would run rampant.

Just curious - what champion has % HP magic damage that scales with AD? Lee Sin? Poppy?

I believe it's Gnar.

Actually Gnar's %HP scales only with level, but has an additional 100% AP ratio, meaning AP Gnar nukes you for like 1k health every 3 seconds late game.

But it's based off of his AA.

That doesn't mean the % damage scales off of AD. It just means he does physical damage at the same time.

Ahh. My apologies for confusion. It still feels like I need to build MR against a mostly AD kit.

Tanks are really strong right now. Flat pen is meaningless against tanks. Literally an 800g item 1031 counters ALL of most AD assassins flat pen.
