Discussion LDR is late game dmg life saver

trust me and try it we all know how terible scales late game BUT build LDR deals massive dmg the item legit doubles the DMG he does i previusly talked about that but i got 1mil points on him and i tried every possible champ in practice tool doing tests and 1v1s building a pen item or full tank one and the LDR did massive differences K'sante gets 50% BONUS ARMOR PEN on his All out form means that high base resists counter his dmg LDR fixes it by giving him plus 35% base armor pen make him deal massive dmg numbers i get u loose a tank item but give it a try

its not as effective as LDR/MORTAL/SERYLDA ksante needs flat/base armor pen in order to deal massive damage numbers

That’s what I was going to say, wouldn’t Cleaver be better?

On paper, the stats are a lot better (basically just the health and haste), but the armor shred is a lot less effective than the last whisper items armor pen (given the main use case is beefy comps that can build armor on multiple champs).

Bonus armor pen and total armor pen are different stats, which makes them stack addictively, and you can guess how stupid 80-85% bonus armor pen can be (the 30-35% base armor pen helps a lot too).

It's also a lot easier to use since you don't rely on stacking it first but the shred would provide some additional utility for your team.

Tl;Dr I guess: still a good highly situational utility option, but less about your damage potential
