Item types seem to be a bit lopsided

[This is directed mainly towards flat pen and utility item variety]

So we've got item 3147 item 3814 item 3142 for ad assassins to build flat armor pen to kill squishies, and item 3036 item 3033 for tanks. But all ap have is item 3165 for flat pen, and item 3135 for % agaisnt tanks.

Granted, the lethality items are basically all that ad assassins build so it makes some sense to give them variety, but they also have so much utility. A majority of utility items for mages are defensive, there's nothing to really give mage/ap assassin the chance to make similar moves as ad assassins. You have item 3003 item 3102 item 3157 , and there's item 3907 but so few champs use it and there's plenty better than it that don't need activation. I left out item 3152 item 3030 item 3905 because they are more utility than damage, and item 3146 because of being hybrid (so only a small fraction build it anyway).

So maybe in the future I hope we get to see item 3916 build into more items to allow more variety for ap mages/assassins. Because as it is, you only really build item 3165 partially for the flat pen but mainly for the grievous wounds (even though it gets completely nullified by item 3065 alone). Otherwise the flat pen isn't that appealing over other items and it doesn't get built that often (though be free to correcte m on that).
