I see what you're saying, but looking at the numbers, it appears that the flat pen you get only balances out when your target is level 18. Prior to that you're being misled because the armor pen you're being given is quite low. I'm not arguing that lethality isn't as balanced, I'm arguing that to me it seems like a noob trap.

I just feel like, rather than gimping flat armor pen to make it balanced, they could do something else for assassins. Maybe not more %bonus armor pen, but maybe something else. Perhaps give assassins an item that has Bloodthirsters old passive of stacking AD, or maybe an ad equivalent of deathcap that has a %increased physical damage on spells or something.
