Junglers took 51.8%.

Not priced, because Riot sells no single-stat item for armor penetration — so this figure covers the rest.

    Why, in Riot's words

    Serylda's is being adjusted this patch to better match assassins by being pushed toward armor penetration and away from ability haste. This isn't meant to be a very large buff, but should feel better to use for most assassin champions.
