Ranged champions have consistently benefitted more off Lethality/flat armor pen than melees.

But nothing is being done to address this?

When Lethality is strong, both the melee and ranged are broken.

When it's moderate, only the latter will be.

When it's weak, both will be, but ranged will still be stronger than the melees with it.

Lethality/flat armor penetration was specifically made for AD assassins in the first place. When every single one of them are melee.

But making them melee-only or halving amount for ranged isn't okay because "build diversity", even when the ranged champions are the entire and only reason Lethality and flat armor penetration was problematic to balance?

It melee Assassins snowballed too hard, all Riot had to do was lower the number or put a soft or hard cap on it per level or such.

But when ranged champions who weren't even meant to use those items begin using and abusing them, Riot calls it "build diversity"?

While also saying that they don't want such a snowbally game/fast-paced game?

While also making this incredibly early-game powerful mechanic?

Excuse me, but I smell something, and it's not pretty.
