Am I the only one who likes to focuse magic penetration on Lulu instead of raw AP?

When looking to the numbers after I tested that in-game, even when I had Morello + both Rabadon AND Void Staff, Lulu's Q scaling was still lower than its base damage.

So, I was thinking. Why people still rush Rabadon on her? Wouldn't be better to buy a Void Staff? Because raw AP doesn't work with her base damage, which is amazing. However, magic penetration works. In fact, when playing her I was watching how by purchasing Void Staff, I was doing more damage than if I purchased an early Rabadon's Deathcap. I suppose that's because the magic penetration was increasing the damage caused by her base damage.

Not to mention: Not only Void Staff is cheaper than Rabadon's Deathcap, but it virtually negates the effectiveness of any magic resistance items that your enemy purchases.

On my opinion, Rabadon's Deathcape is only worth purchasing as a very, very late-game option. It will still be needed and will still increase Lulu's damage, as well as increasing her utility as they only scale with AP (for obvious reasons). However, in terms of damage, Lulu scales way better with magic penetration. Lulu needs like at least 350-400 AP to make Rabadon's Deathcap worth purchasing.
