Hybrid Update for Season 6

  • Since we are having the marksmen update in the next patch and it is a following from the juggernauts and the ap items before that i would like to ask RIOT for a HYBRID update soon since there are very few champions with hybrid scalings and only 3 items that give AP and AD( item 3124 , item 3078 , item 3146 )
  • Specifically the main reason for asking this is because hybrid builds are so fun to have in order to experiment and have fun with yet they need so much time to build up especially for the item 3124 which is a great item stat wise(and with great sinergy with item 3115 ) yet so underwhelming to the point where it should be removed, yet i dont see it beeing removed in the next patch notes
  • i know that having extra items for diversity makes the game more interesting but i feel like we have SO many items yet so little are being used at which i really like this marksman update.
  • there where many champions in the beginning to play ad or ad or hybrid at the beginning of this game like Jax , Aatrox ,Kayle Evelynn and Ezreal that have a lot of fans but after Aatrox all champions are focused in on direction keeping us away from the fun experimentation and are no longer viable to the point where you tried to make Ezreal more AD focused to make him viable and for most of them you have to go item 3078 and then tanky in order to be viable which is not fun at all
  • Finally to conclude this plz make a hybrid update soon for us the players so that we may have more fun with experimentations on some champions even if it is just buffing item 3146 , reworking item 3124 and adding two or three items with easy build paths. Thank you for reading this far and sorry if it was so long but i wanted to be thorough

I have to agree. Playing Hybrid Ekko and Kennen were probably the most fun builds I've ever tried.

item 3146 would have to be the best hybrid item out there but it's hella expensive.

I think the main problem with balancing Hybrid items is the fact that a) they are only 50% of a normal AP item or AD item. b) not many champs can take advantage of having both AP and AD at the same time because of the way their kit requires them to pump out damage. c) from what I've seen, most hybrids need to get fed or they fall off real hard real quick. Cause if your a primary AP champ goin hybrid, your AP burst won't be enough to assassinate someone, and your AD sustain wont be enough to out duel someone by mid game.

But i'm just a bronze so what do I know
