Lethality needs to seriously be looked at.

Listen, I get we needed a way to shred tanks or something, but Lethality is by far the dumbest thing in the game. Flat armor pen vs people who build 0 armor. Why? Why does my enemy Kalista buy 1 seratted dirk, come back to lane, Q-E me and I die outright. At like level 4!?

I don't understand how this is a balanced stat. People who never built armor pen b4 build full lethality, and suddenly do 2x the dmg they originally did.

This stat genuinely makes no sense as to why it was implemented, how it works, or why is it disgustingly broken.

So someone please effing enlighten me on why im getting 2 shot at level 4 with half an item. Because this game is just a shit show now.

why is kalista coming to lane lvl 4 with a dirk, i think you may have messed up a few times leading up to that point.

wait is not lethality meant to be anti low armor item and not the other way around? flat number decreases are much much more effective against someone without armor then someone with tons of armor because armor value decrease the more you have of it.

item 3036 would be the anti tank item because % will be more effective on high armor

Lethality ruined AD assassins. Lethality ruined AD assassins. Lethality ruined AD assassins and made them braindead.

Because without lethality we would get flat armor pen, and I really don't think anyone is looking forward to having to deal with a Zed or a Kha'Zix ignoring 20 armor as soon as they get their first item, which is a lot more armor pen than lethality gives, at least for the majority of the game.

How am I changing it up lmao? Whether or not she had any first blood or assist gold is irrelevant. That doesn't change the fact that she did what she did at that level with only 1 item. It's all means to an end.

Level 5, Only item is upon further investigation a duskblade, she did 500 dmg to this brand in 1 Q.

So my initial of only a dirk may be off, but at 5 minutes in at level 5 dealing 500 dmg is not.

(inb4 oh but its urf it doesnt count)
