Remember when armor used to do something?

No longer! Allow me to present to you the armor buster 3000: item 3071 item 3142 item 3147 item 3814 item 3026 item 3111 with 7 lethality reds and 5/5 precision for a total of 30% armor reduction and 70 flat armor penetration. Gives 235 AD and also even more bonus stats just for the lulz:

400 health 60 armor, 105 magic resistance,

But wait, there's more!

Invulnerability (Guardian Angel) Tenacity (Merc Treads) Bullshit banshee's veil active (Edge of Night) MORE assassination potential! (Duskblade of Draktharr. Ehh who are you kidding? You're going to one shot them anyway.) Movement speed comin out of your ears (Youmoo's Ghostblade active + Black Cleaver proc)

andddd if that wasn't enough?

Teamwide 30% armor debuff for your entire team. Yeah, thanks for buffing lethality riot! It's now even worse than it was in Season 6 since it's now strong both early game and late game, there's more of it in the game _and _ all of the items with it on have actives/passives which are completely overloaded.

Meanwhile: oh nooooooo we can't let Zhonya's have a reasonable amount of AP, AP items must have tradeoffs! Oh noooooo, we can't let Rylais have a reasonable amount of hp, AP items must have tradeoffs! Oh noooooo, we can't let Abyssal have a reasonable amount of AP, AP items must have tradeoffs! Now AP items have absolutely zero AP on them and you finally get around to buying that Rabadon's Deathcap and you wonder why you wasted 3800 AP for the "ultimate" AP item. It's like you learned nothing from the problems with lethality last year >.>. Rant over.

Let's put the circlejerk away. I'm not going to debate the strength of lethality now, but AP champions are still dominant and haven't needed 1000 AP for a long time in order to 100-0 someone.
