There really should be an ad item that gives you magic pen there are quite a few champions that could use this and with new nidalee only doing magic damage other than from autos the enemy can just stack mr and you cant build anything to do anything about it. Its pretty lame and if riot plans on changing all hybrid damage champions to be like the new nidalee even more champions are going to need this item.
Sneak Dog2 votesCompletely counterintuitive? You are doing hybrid damage already, meaning it's hard to stack resistances, there is no need to also give you great earlygame by getting flat penetration. If you want percentage penetration, go void staff, if you deal magic damage you will have some ap scalings.

There will never be an AD item with magic pen just so you know. Doesn't make sense thematically, and it would probably be pretty terrible. Hybrid items have a history of getting abused, then getting nerfed into the ground. (See: Guinsoo, Gunblade)
KazeNekochan1 votesnone of those items are good for ad champs lol boots you could get i guess and most of the champs that have the prob are bruisers you dont wanna build ap on
Cerbearus2 votesName a champ that needs magic pen that doesn't scale off of AP.
KazeNekochan1 votesad nid ad eve just because they have ap scaling doenst mean thats how you want to or have to play them especially when other things are better
Cerbearus1 votesEve doesn't scale off of anything right now and penetration is quite useless on her because half her kit is Physical and the other half is Magic. The reason you build things like flat penetration is because you have good base values but not very good scaling because penetration items do not give very much in the way of raw stats.
As for Nidalee, I'm not quite sure with her right now because of the rework and she is still being changed. But, as for right now armor pen is much better for her in comdination with her AD scalings. I might argue the other way if they changed cougar Q to magic dmg but as for right now she needs to stick to one side instead of going hybrid.
KazeNekochan1 votesbut her q does deal magic damage now other wise it wouldnt be a big deal on her since yes armor pen would be better
Sneak Dog1 votesHer entire kit deals magic damage. Having acces to an ad item with flat magic penetration means enemies could build nothing against you, you'd just dominate anyone trying to build defensively in laning phase with your hybrid damage. Lategame, if you need the penetration, just build void staff, the ap is not wasted. This goes for anyone you'd want such an item on.
