My god, where the heck did this entire argument about what counters what even begin.

First off, my stance: Neither stats is a counter to each other. Flat pen/reduction and armor is more or less just opposites that will cancel each other.

Unless there is a clear gold difference in cost for armor pen and armor (which as it stands does not support much since there is no defined gold value for armor pen/reduction), neither is better. Mechanically, they both are equal opposites.
