I decided to run the math for new LW and the new IE and I have come to the conclusion that they will change somehting because as of now the armor where the two items bypass armor with the same efectivness is 117 armor. The issue is that the new IE is MORE efective in bypassing armor if your targets armor is above 117 while LW is more efective if your targets armor is below 117. Now 39 armor is the point where LW is most efective compared to IE; giving a tiny bonus of 2% damage.

Here arises the issue. New IE gives 40 more ad as well as doubling your crit chance. From the added damage alone you would have to have 1799 AD for the damage bonus of LW to outweigh the the 40 ad from IE on a NORMAL attack. Considering you are also gaining between 40% and 30% crit change from IE(depending on how many crut items you bought) You would need at least 2339 AD to equal the 40 extra ad from IE in terms of average dps. That isn't even counting the effect the raised crit chance would have on the rest of your ad.

I am only human and I could be wrong but if I am not did non of the rioters do any comparative math when asigning the new stats?
