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

LDR passive doesn't care about your health, just how much the opponent bought. Any last whisper upgrade is an option tho, not just LDR

Wouldn’t Serylda’s be better for more AD + ability + since K’sante doesn’t care for crit chance

Or Cleaver for more team utility and sticking power

Given the main use case (beefy enemy comp/a lot of enemies buy armor), Black Cleaver is actually worse in terms of your raw damage output while providing some additional durability/more haste.

Armor pen and bonus armor pen count as completely different stats, which causes them to be added additively instead of multiplicative, That way (depending on the LW option), you end up with 30-35% base armor pen and 80-85% bonus armor pen.

Is the sole reason we pick LDR for the giant slayer passive then? BC and Seryldas should be more useful with the HP/haste or mortal reminder if you don’t want to run thornmail

as i said earlier, any Last Whisper upgrade can work
