Can we get more hybrid itemization options as well as hybrid champions?

I think hybrid options are lacking in LoL, and that goes for both the itemization as well as the champion options that we have to be able to build hybrid. Right now I think there are only two champions in League that can legitimately build hybrid and be somewhat competitive (Ezrael, Kayle, let me know if I missed someone else)...and I think these options add a new layer to the game and the option to mid items on a single build that we can't do otherwise.

If we had better hybrid itemization perhaps Rageblade wouldn't need to be so busted.

I wish there was better hybrid items too, it's very lacking.

item 3148 item 3124 Something that came to mind, it would be awesome if item 3085 bolt damage was adaptive, instead of physical by default. Or if it allowed to deal hybrid/mixed damage. If there were more Hybrid items to choose from, that's something I would build every game for Varus Varus because that's my favourite playstyle.

You could say that Kai'Sa is the perfect hybrid champion

And that turns out to have been somewhat of a problem lmao

Nerf her items and she just finds new ones to abuse

She's a very bad example of what Hybrid Champions are.

Kai'Sa's thing as a hybrid champion is the fact that her passive's well-scaling %-missing HP damage circumvents the biggest weakness of hybrid champions (the inability to build penetration as a damage amplifier).

I really don't understand why a few champions have AD and AP scalings. Like provide AD and AP scalings for all champs or do it for none. Thats why gunblade and rageblade are good on like less than 10 champs. If trydamere can have AP scalings why cant Ekko have AD scalings. it drives me nuts.

Blitzcrank Jax Nasus Shyvana Sion Teemo Udyr Varus Warwick XinZhao Tryndamere Katarina Mordekaiser Ahri are the ones I can think of and you didn’t mention who are at least semi-viable as either AP or AD, and thus can build both (hybrid).
