Assassins/bruisers need a new armor pen item to replace old last whisper

A lot of ad assassins/bruisers could barely kill the adc in season 5. They relied on stacking armor pen in order to do close to true damage to squishies. With the change to last whisper they effectively lost 30 armor pen. Junglers lost 40 armor pen.

Now the only chance they have is stacking crit. Unfortunately a lot of champions like kha'zix aren't designed to utilize crit.

Make a flat armor pen item that does more damage to champions with low health pools.

item 3033 ....... what's wrong with this? item 3036 or this for assassins.... both are better than the old LW. Both have UNIQUE – LAST WHISPER: +40% Bonus Armor Penetration. plus extra goodies attached.

Lord Dominik's Regards is amazing on AD assassin's like Zed... And Mortal Reminder is great for countering sustain...

Last whisper gives %40 BONUS, so if you have +20 Armor pen, you get +8 whoop dee do vs 400 armor

As some have said, try Yommuu's or you could always pick up black cleaver, it still cleaves armor like it always did as far as I am aware.

Not Black Cleaver, for the bruisers? Not Youmuu's Ghostblade, for the assassins? Actually, I'm thinking there's no need for this.
