Does AD perform better with enemies having more armor than your apen? Even if such were so, the utility of early apen vs some more AD lategame would be in favor of the former because the AD you get would not be much compared to the AD you have then.

I've been using flat AD marks recently, I kind of like them tbh. 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.

So according to scarra, TSM made ~$270k over the last year from the website and streams (Source). No wonder they can afford to get a gaming house together.

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.

Wow scarra is quite rude about the merchandising of TSM (he's not wrong tho on vlogs and stuff like that).
Ok they make a lot of money with the site but it still is very useful and I'm happy for them they can make a living of gaming.

I didn't want to make one of those silly stream threads just for this but Awnn is streaming our Dominion match for Reddit in about 5 minutes. YUGIOH in the meantime.

You also want to take into consideration the things armor pen does not provide:

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

AD is better when the enemy cait shows up to lane with 400hp and 16 armor. :3

OK. 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

Actually in this case the 15 armor pen would be much better.

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.

ArPen is usually going to provide a greater increase in damage on those spells unless they do AD scaling magic damage (e.g. Jax, Yorick, and Udyr, who, IIRC do use AD marks), because ArPen will significantly multiply the base damage.

This isn't a smoothly increasing benefit, though. 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).

Flat pen becomes weaker after LW, but is it weaker than the flat AD from marks?

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 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.

So I dissheartened now. I was 1600 season one now I can't get past 1250 cause as soon as I go 1400 or over I just get trolled every single game. Last game we had a blitz that rage quit after being told by the entire team that I did ping the gank I was doing, when he claimed I didn't. And a Morgana that went afk in lane 5 times. Fun times are being had and I need to learn to carry harder. YAY.

also Yu-gi-oh > MTG

Epik is the first team to advance to Providence, beating Goose 2-0.

Dignitas joins them, beating Curse 2-1.

Curse didn't do too bad against Dignitas it seems. They did take a game off of them.

Yeah looks like TSM lost this game. Errr nvm they were low so couldn't push I guess after the almost ace. Fighting back and tying it up at least on kills.

The rest of the team didn't seem too bad, but the Renekton just did so much more than The Rain Man's Akali.

edit: maybe TSM has a chance now. The other team just went derp mode for a while there.
