Yes, but overall its better to get Apen. Your average AD champ will deal 60 damage at level 1. Full AD runes give you +21 bringing you up to 81 AD at level one. Your average champ will have around 20 armor at level one meaning you deal 84% of your full AD or 68 damage +8 damage. If you instead get Apen runes you will deal true damage at level one as 25 Apen reduces most champs to about 0 unless they buy cloth armor. Thus you deal 60 damage at level one losing 8 (rather insignificant) AD. Late game most squishies will have about 75 armor without any armor items. 75 armor will reduce your damage 42% or 58% of your full AD which with a good build you have high crit and high AD items you can deal over 1k crits. 1k redueced to 58% is 580. If you have that 25 Apen you will only be affected by 50 armor or your damage will be reduced to 77% you will crit for 770 damage almost 200 more damage. Much better then a measly +8 damage early game wouldn't you agree? AND you can use your seals and glyphs for armor and MR for better survivability early game letting you get those kills anyways.
