Poppy: Armor Pen v.s Magic Pen Runes

[quote=SinDelta]Just always wondered If it's better to use armor pen runes on poppy over magic pen even if you are doing a dps trinity build?[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]Always Mpen. Your main source of damage is still charge+devastating blow. Both deal 100% magic damge.[/quote]

[quote=SinDelta]Yeah I thought so, It just always confused me because even the top rated Poppy guides still use armor pen. I'm assuming they just rely on right clicks end game.[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]Ok let's make the situation clear. After some poppy matches check your physical damage done and magic damage done. When playing think where is your main damage coming from. If you tend to play as Yi, than no question ArP but from my expirience it is better to just go for Mpen since it is more important early/mid game and go for LW in lategame if you realy need it.[/quote]

[/quote] The problem with checking your match history for more physical/magic damage done is the fact that laning phase you'll do very little magic damage compared to last hitting extensively, causing a lot more physical damage. If you find that you're dealing more magic damage than physical, then by all means get Mpen runes. However, if you find you're dealing more physical than magic, it might not be best to buy Arpen runes. I suggest you and a friend go into a practice game. You farm until you have a few items, and then kill him and have him read the death recap to you. That'll give you a more accurate, if not more tedious, result.[/quote]
