Throwing 101 - PENETRATION

Welcome class today we will observe this Fizz who is currently 4/0.

Haha! 4/0 time to carry!

Fizz was carrying and the enemy team was being smart.. instead of stacking damage they stacked magic resistance and armor along with damage. Fizz got cocky and didn't get any magic pen!

4/6.. Wtf.. I blame Yorick didn't gank my lane ... (jungler) Same. GG AFK summoner disconnects Yup! [can't land snares]

This actually happened to me I was carrying as Fizz had a Lichbane because I thought it was just OPizzle on Fizz (tell me what you think about this), and at this point of my LEague life I underestimated penetration.

Penetration is a stat that basically means armor and magic resistance doesn't mean sh*t and that you can 0 to 100 a Shen like they were a Kennen without Runes and Masteries. Penetration is a great stat on Assassins just like, Crit, Attack Speed, CDR (Cooldown Reduction) and Attack Damage.

I was a 4/0 Fizz, and I was broken, but the tank meta was strong. They had a Sejuani and a Volibear that just ended up destroying me, and we wound up losing the game!

The moral of the story is to always grab penetration, and though it seems useless... Trust me, it's definitely not.
