@op You have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. You can buy all the penetration you want. Health got cheaper and you ain't killing anyone late game who gets something built from an item as simple as a Giants Belt.

LB is awful in S3, much worse than in S2, essentially because mid lane bruisers/assassins like Kha'Zix, Zed or Talon can whatever she does but better. Why? 'Cause they shred their counter (Armor) much easier than LeBlanc can shred her counter (MR) while being able to deal with HP stackers thanks to damage on autos and superior overall burst on lower cooldown, as well as being tanky themselves due to items like Hexdrinker, FM or Black Claver as well as Lifesteal having strong defensive components. And I'm not even gonna bother on how all of them can push waves extremely quickly  past lvl 7, while LB struggles and stays under her tower.

Champions like Fizz, LeBlanc or Kassadin took a major kick in the teeth with the arrival of S3 because we're in the era of the League of Black Cleavers. To put it simple, they're currently OUTCLASSED by their AD counterparts in terms of assassination.
