One of them is the very underfarmed Kog which did like zero damage unless he was hitting Sona -_-.

Prolly they thought Kog's % magic damage with Blood Boil would shred through that.

They thought wrong.

Just watched a game on the PBE. Some guy was raging and asking for reports for feeding on a guy that died, then kept whining because he had a bugsplat... wow, dude, that's only the PBE. x)

But the interesting thing is that wards have icons on the minimap now. Vision wards and Sight wards have different icons too, so you know what's where (compared to Caitlyn's/Nidalee's traps, for example).

So Syndra destroys harder than, say, Cass with a Muramana. Wow, that must be some hilarious burst.

I don't have a hard time believing it. Flat pen got a lot better with the S3 patch.

If it's true, you'd only ever take AD runes if you have a hard time csing for some reason.

First off, it's incredibly fruitless to specify "ArPen runes" and not specify whether you mean marks or quints. Marks are much more slot-efficient compared to AD than quints are.

ArPen runes are worse than they ever were for low levels. The actual value of ArPen provided by runes got reduced--the only benefit now is that they stack better with % pen effects, but those don't become significant until higher armor values and more % pen effects in play.

ArPen at low levels more or less always exceeded AD in champion fighting ability apart from the scenario where either your AD was too low, or the enemy's armor value meant your ArPen dropped them to 0 (basically doesn't happen since everyone takes Armor seals).

The argument for AD marks has ALWAYS been smooth-ness of lasthitting outweighing dueling ability.

If it's true, you'd only ever take AD runes if you have a hard time csing for some reason.

Flat pen only got better in the case where you have % pen effects in play. The actual flat pen amount of every flat pen source got reduced, meaning for laning (which is what everyone runes for), flat pen got worse than it was before.

If you're used to CSing with AD runes dropping 15 AD can be an unpleasant surprise.

Also, Muramana Syndra would be scarier if she had any single target abilities that weren't her ult. Still, 2000+ raw damage from one ability is pretty scary. Combine with DFG for lulz.

Edit: Penetration runes can become late-game relevant if you're one of the select champions with some form of built in % Penetration or Reduction. Xerath is one of the obvious abuse cases. With Sorc's+Guise+Void he can bypass up to ~84 MR, but throw in 20 Penetration from Quints/Marks/Glyphs and that shoots up to ~140 MR.

i don't understand how people think things like brutaliser flat pen runes and so on got buffed if they're not buying lw/aren't darius/etc. Just look at the numbers, they're lower than before. You don't even need to bust out your addition skills.

I think Anivia is fine with getting first priority farm. I just think that if she does she should also build items that primarily give offensive stats or mana to increase her damage. A farmed Fiddlesticks is hard to get, but when I have mid farm as Fid or Trist... where in the current meta nothing happens all lane phase as sides push the lane back and forth, I carry like I'm playing against level 1s.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

If you assume everyone with has percent armor pen (9 points in offense), then they all got at least 8% better. Consider a 100armor target. Pre-patch Brutalizer gives 20 pen, marks gave 15 (1.66*9) more, dropping them to 65. After the 10% mastery, they have ~59 effective armor. Post-patch, the percentage is applied first, dropping them to 85. Then you apply the nerfed brutalizer (15) and flat marks (12), dropping the effective armor to 58. Not a huge difference, but when you factor in stuff like brutalizer actually building into decent items and tanks generally having more than 100 armor, it's a pretty significant buff.

edit: math is off
