I don't really notice any real damage difference early on in the game, and later they're more effective with last whisper and AD scaling moves. (compared to Armor Pen) While I like the tradeoff between flat AD and ArPen on quints, isn't AD less slot-effective on marks by enough to motivate getting ArPen instead? Like, I can understand having just ArPen marks, and using AD quints because there are lots of times where that extra 10 ArPen won't be doing anything in lane--but I have a hard time believing that the first 15 ArPen from marks won't be doing much--at the very least it should be doing more than the miniscule amount of AD you get from flat AD marks will be doing later. Haven't done out the math on AD/lvl marks, though they might actually be pretty good. | ||

And other than v8, there hasn't been any big upsets in the MLG qualifier so far. The other top 7 teams have all made it to the quarter finals and playing each other for the live event. | ||

A multiplier on AD spells (almost all AD spells have a higher than 1:1 ratio) Easier to last hit off of towers and in general Flat pen becomes weaker once you have a last whisper, which any AD WILL have in a game | ||

But imo, what support you/they have should influence which one is stronger. Taric/Sona/Soraka all potentially give a lot of extra armor. Janna/Sona gives extra AD. I havn't put much thought about it either way so I really don't know what's actually better for what. | ||

Passing certain amounts of AD will be very useful for lasthitting under tower, and others will be less useful (e.g. having just enough AD to kill a ranged minion that's been hit by tower once, rather than needing to hit it once first).

Consider a 150 armor target. With LW and ArPen marks, it has 81 effective armor. Without ArPen marks, it has 90 effective armor. The difference is about a 5% damage increase. If you have 171 or more AD (an easily attainable value), the flat ArPen is still a greater damage increase than the 8.55 AD you get from flat AD marks. The flat ArPen becomes worse against targets with higher armor values, but likewise it becomes better at higher AD values (because Armor Penetration acts as a multiplier on physical damage, while AD is a flat increase). | ||

I need to find a duo queue partner, because not even I can carry sub 1100 idiots. 23-6 Gragas and we still manage to lose because three teammates are <5 kills and 12< deaths I am pretty low elo thanks to shitty solo queue. I duo queue with a friend in the 1300s sometimes but even then it's still hard to get out of this shit, especially since I am only getting like 8 elo a win or something ridiculous because of our elo gap. If you are around my elo, I would be happy to play. | ||
