armor yellows are the most pivotal runes for any jungler

Depending on jungler attackspeed yellows can be better. It's pretty obvious flat armour is better than armour/lvl in jungle. Some junglers can also run dodge which is far far better late.


I don't know a single jungler where attack speed yellow is better on, not even warwick needs that.


i like them on nocturne. and i used to use them when tiger udyr was popular

Only champ that comes to mind for ASpeed would be nocturne.

Cardmaster jungle benefits more from aspd too, but then again he benefits most from dodge yellows because he likes to roll the dice.

The first t3 runes I bought were flat armour yellows and mr/lv blues - they just work with every single champion and is worth every ip I spent on that.

Also, I actually opted for flat AD reds and quints instead of armpen simply because imho it gives you a lot of early game dominance. I want the rest of TL's ideas on armpen reds vs flat ad reds, since I feel like the flat AD reds have served me better so far.

ArPen is basically strictly better at every single point in the game.

Except when your opponent has less armor than you have penetration. Flat ad is strictly better when there's wasted penetration.

and also after you have Last Whisper. Since flat penetration is taken into account prior to the percentage penetration of the Last Whisper you're better off having flat ad and last whisper than arpen and last whisper. The difference is likely negligible though.

Yeah the amount of ArPen that reds give you is so much more than what you get out of anything else. - including buying flat ArPen items. You always want at least as much arpen as whatever you're attacking early on (even squishies like ashe have 13 armor runeless!) and that gives you way more damage than flat AD will. Quints are a closer call, since the AD quint isn't giving HALF (it gives 2/3) of what the ArPen quint gives, and because overkilling (stacking it past where your targets will have 0 armor) arpen in the early game is 100% useless.

the only jungle that optimally uses anything other than armor yellows is tiger udyr

the only case u can really make for it is if u have a magic dmg skill that scales off of AD (aka jax akali)

That doesn't make them better. At best ASpd vs Armor is a playstyle choice, and at worst, Armor is straight-up better.

what? with that build, it's GA hands down.

with 50% lifesteal and no prior resists, resists are king over HP.

Was going to say this as well. At high healing rates (healing abilities/high lifesteal/spellvamp), resists far outclass plain HP.

say Last Whisper vs. 200 Armor Opponent with 200 AD without factoring marks.

AD Marks: (208.55 damage x 100)/(100 + 120) = 94.8 damage/attack

ArPen Marks: (200 damage x 100)/(100 + 111) = 94.8 damage/attack

This is like, one of the optimal conditions for AD marks, and there's less than a 0.1 difference in damage there.

And like, when is 15 ArPen going to be overkill?

I'd say the one exception to that is when you do a lot of AD-scaling magic damage (e.g. Jax, Tigerdyr, Yorick). Then the AD is potentially better because the ArPen scales only the physical component of your damage, while the AD scales both.

only Akali IMO. like, Kat still scales better with MPen I think and there's like, no one else who scales with AD but not physical damage during the early game.

Uhh, Jax? Jax even double-dips on the AD through his passive, and Leap Strike and Empower are both magic damage.

It's not, but 31 often is (AD marks, quints, and the arpen mastery.)

Akali is one of those champs that need an extremely specific runepage because of her passive so that might be a bit of an exception.

If anything Akali only uses 7 flat ad marks.
