Why is there so much lethality in the game?

When magic pen is so hard to obtain?

The only decent magic pen item is . After that you have which is expensive and only builds into which is a bad buy on most mages. was nerfed. gives only magic pen with nothing else.

Compare that with lethality items that all come with powerful passives and/or actives and additional stats like (strong active movespeed) (disable wards and etc) (basically a 100x better version of )

base armor > base mr

It's a lot easier to build armor than magic resist. You can build a lot more AP than you can AD item 3135 35% magic pen is huge, in addition to the 80 ap. item 3151 is really good depending on the enemy comp.

Lot easier to build armor? Lol?

AD champs can literally build item 3156 item 3814 item 3139 and have 200 MR without sacrificing any damage.

35 + 35 + 45 = 200 now? Base armor + item 3157 gets you almost the same amount of armor as base magic resist + item 3139 item 3814 item 3156 gets you MR.

80AP is huge but it's completely stupid that void staff only gets 35% pen instead of 45% like last whisper, add in the fact that you can obtain item 3036 item 3033 Grievous Wounds on 1 Version of it, or a hp melt on the other for cheaper than Liandrys. The Last Whisper also comes with GW which is an additional 2600-2900g. Last Whisper comes with 50 AD as well LOL. The misconception is the fact that everyone thinks its easier to build MR than it is Armor, the reason for that being is because MR blocks more damage sufficiently than MR.

last whisper is bonus armor pen. void staff is total magic pen.

I'm not in favor of AD vs. AP but...

1- Majority of AP champions have ratio for AP, so that 600 AP isn't really what you get as bonus. This is not balance issues because we still see them function fine, this is just to point out the numbers as they don't tell everything.

2- AP champions rely on spells, AD champions rely on spells and auto-attacks.

3- Right now, Magic Resist items build into really good final items (some of them bring out both offensive and defensive stats), i.e. item 3139 item 3156 item 3814 for AD, item 3001 for AP & a whole bunch of item 3102 item 3190 item 3065 item 3512 goodies overall.
