Is it better if you put flat Armor Penetration marks & quints than Armor Pen marks & AD quints? What is the benefit if you are fighting squishy and tanky champs when using ARP marks & quints? And what is the difference if youre using ARP marks and AD quints when fighting both? My friend told me that ArPen scales more when fighting tank champs but how about the squishy one? if you put ArPen on marks and quints = 19 armor pen + mastery in offensive "Sunder +5 Armor pen" you will have 24 Armor Penetration at start.. Is it too much that you have to put it all to ARP than AD marks or quints?

Sorry if i ask a noob question like this.. i just wanna know what is the difference and your ideas as well.. I know that if you have AD = Good Last hitting / farming

I always use Pantheon. Ff you go to ARP marks & quints your starting attack damage will be 54 with the help of Mastery, im running 21/9/0 with him

But if you chose to run ARP marks with 3 AD quints your starting will be 68 ad at lvl 1



Wich is better?? and what is good on champ like pantheon?


And also if you guys playing with Pantheon is it nice if you put your points on Sorcery (CDR) over Fury (AS)?


your idea/opinion is alot of help! Thank you!

Armor pen is better late than the flat ad runes, however a lot of your games will simply be decided on what happens in the early levels, where flat ad runes outweigh penetration.

(and i know little about pantheon but i assume the cdr.)

Flat AD is usually recommended even if armor pen is little bit more useful just for the sake of csing more easy.

Mix em, since they scale with each other, the more AD you have the more arpen helps - the more arpen you have the more AD helps.

Pretty sure the optimal thing damage wise early game is: 6 arpen marks, 3 ad marks, 3 ad quints.

Attack Damage.

It'll help you last hit under the tower (and last hit in general) plus Pantheon scales well with AD, being an AD caster.

I go flat AD.

Makes early game easier with last hitting and poking.

Most items you'll end up getting will be able to neglect armor (LW/BC)
And those will come into play late game, where they're needed.

Top laners can go either way really. A full set of ArPen Marks offsets Armor Seals almost completely. Taking AD Quints wil help you out trade oppoennts in certain situations.


gimme a second I have to get some maths going... I'll be back

Generally speaking, APen marks and AD quints.

Few champs have unique setups for me, some run Hybrid Pen marks, others AD marks/quints, etc.
