So why is this an acceptable state of the game?

+ barrel

370 armor

results in a 1000 damage crit... This isn't just about GP (and before the trolls come in, i won the game, i'm not salty, quit trying to shut down conversation) this has to do with most of the fighters atm

Why do they penetrate so much armor? Mind you, idk how much AD he had. Yet that still doesn't explain why having champions which can do somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 of a tank's health who has stacked resistance against them is a sustainable way to balance the game.

After all, not all champions have access to such insane penetration. All this seems to end up doing is creating extremely hard counters between roles. Where tanks are too tanky to die to say assassins and marksmen, but are wet paper against fighters.

gp barrels ignore armor. dominic ignores armor aswell i dont remember how much they stack together but its a good amount mind you. Other champs have ways of busting armor too. Like shyvana/Vi and alot of champs buy cleaver nowadays which also negates a good amount of armor. Add the overall dmg yehhh

Because of the power creep. Since the juggernaut patch, Riot has been boosting dmg output like crazy. It's how they've been balancing the game lately. It's become highly problematic through all ranks. Ppl have even complain that the LCS has become increasingly boring to watch because it's become just farming cs. It's hard to blame them, snowball potential is far easier to attain and far more dangerous now-a-days than it ever was. It was always an issue in the past, but now it's gotten rediculous. Riot and their balancing team have become reckless.

Most high dmg champions out there tend to shred armor or do some mixed, magic or true dmg. The only DPS champs that really suffer vs stacked armor and item 3075 are Tristana and Tryndamere .
