Item types seem to be a bit lopsided
[This is directed mainly towards flat pen and utility item variety]
So we've got
for ad assassins to build flat armor pen to kill squishies,
and
for tanks.
But all ap have is
for flat pen,
and
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
, and there's
but so few champs use it and there's plenty better than it that don't need activation.
I left out
because they are more utility than damage, and
because of being hybrid (so only a small fraction build it anyway).
So maybe in the future I hope we get to see
build into more items to allow more variety for ap mages/assassins. Because as it is, you only really build
partially for the flat pen but mainly for the grievous wounds (even though it gets completely nullified by
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).
