is some potential wasted when champions are kind of hybrid.

for example tristana. her abilities use magic damage. but you're not going to build an AP tristana. not gonna work shes an ADC not a mid mage. shes a carry. or rengar's W. you want to focus on his strength. imo the best champions i see are the ones that have relevant abilities. so why does riot add these things that veer from what the champion is supposed to be built on. a lot of wasted potential. i mean if it does magic damage at least let it scale with AD not AP. nobody is going to build AP on an AD- focused champ unless its meant to be built hybrid which there aren't that many of. the new poppy too. her W deals magic damage scales with AP. whos gonna build AP on a champ that 3 out of 4 of her abilities scale with AD and hes a mele champ? you get what am saying?

The whole point is to NOT scale those abilities and use them solely for utility. Skill scaling also has nothing to do with what the champions do: all of Jax's abilities scale more with AP but he is built BoRK, Triforce, Full tank.

They typically have AD champions AP ratios on utility abilities. The abilities aren't meant to do a significant amount of damage but they do offer useful qualities for the champion.

Tristana's W is used for re-positioning and her ultimate is used to knock people away from her; the abilities are used to keep Tristana safe.

Rengar's W is his survivability spell which provides a significant amount of armor and MR when used normally and which heals him when empowered.

As I said on your other post; every damaging skill has a scaling, but not every skill is meant to be used as a major part of the character's lategame damage.

Because champs deserve build diversity and Rito is working on that,

WHAT THE FUCK. How is that related. Her E deals physical damage, btw. And AP Tristana existed before that because she could buy MPen. Now, since ARPen boots don't exist and other ARPen itemisation contains AD, AP TRis has prett much disappeared. But it was a thing.
