Yeah, it definitely makes sense with her borderline non-existent base damage, and I didn't think about the increased ease of landing Q. That could really make it hard to figure out where to even stand behind the minions. How much you get out of armour penetration when the target's considered to be at practically 0 is still ridiculous, though. going from 40 AD to 80 Is of course huge, and 80 to 120 is actually still massive. But that's where I'd start getting penetration and start converting, since the 40 is a 25% of the total damage at that point where 15 armour - well, honestly, fuck the math at this point due to how armour works, but if they have 40 armour, 40 more AD would give you 114 damage. with 20 more AD and 15 pen you'd have... 112... God dammit.

BUT if they had 15 armour, 160 ad would get you 139, while 140 AD + 15 armour pen would get you 140. The stacking requirement to make armour pen work is frustrating.

And you know what? because of how massive her boost is early on from AD, and the need to stack armour pen to make it effective, I think raw AD and then % armour pen is the way to go - especially since her passive doesn't crit. Maybe some lifesteal instead of penetration, though since that does work with the passive.
