I'm curious, how is it worse then armor pen?In post 2572, Nosferatu wrote:I don't get how everyone is freaking out about lethality. It's still weaker than flat armor pen was last season, its just not total shit now. The nerfs to literally every lethality item at the start of the season also make the effects of lethality less and less impactful. A build centered entirely around quick powerspikes is now unable to achieve that. I don't understand how apparently every lethality build is broken now.
I mean back in the days of armor pen it was bad because at most you could get ~40.
Now you can easily get 70+ lethality, and because of duskblade the Lethality actually scales fairly decently into even more damage, and with the scaling, you get 60% of this upfront, so even at around 80% scaling (level 9) you can get way more then you could with armor pen.
