Last whisper and Void staff

Why does last whisper give 45% armor pen at 1300 gold but void staff only gives 35%? I'm just curious

there are more armor items to stack then MR items to stack, therefore less need for power on certain pen items... I think

Yeah but even with runes and Masteries you can get more armor pen than magic pen. You may be right but I don't know was just wondering that. I guess the most mr on an item you can get is 70 but you can get 100 armor from thorn and 90 from frozen so I guess you're right

It is just my logic, makes sense to me, more armor req. more armor pen options/stats Less mr req. less Magic pen options/stats

Last Whisper penetrates bonus armor while Void Staff penetrates total MR.

Also, different gold values of AD and AP are on the items.

Where you find that at? It doesn't say it on the item so I always thought it was total armor.

Read the item's tooltip.

"UNIQUE Passive - Last Whisper: +30% bonus armor penetration"

Thought that meant if you have 7 from the mastery tree that meant here is 30% more. Not hey penetrate only bonus armor pen

Example: 30% armor reduction multiplies the target's armor to 70%, so a target with 20 base armor and 40 bonus armor will be reduced to 42 armor ((20 × 0.7) + (40 × 0.7) = 42).

I found this on tthat website so maybe this is true?

I'd pay 1300g for 45% bonus magic pen.

Just saying.

Every champ benefits from armor pen (some alot more than others obviously) but not all champs benefit from MP
