Hmm, AP Aphelios isn't a thing? Doesn't deal damage? ... You were saying?

I'm telling you, .. it's just a different playstyle.

He starts to get it toward the end. You don't focus so much on landing basic attacks, other than for farming. You play around your abilities like a mage.

He also mentions how his abilities deal magic damage, which is not true. The only one that deals magic damage is Gravitum's Q. That means armor penetration is still a great option to build into.

This did highlight for me another good combination. Since Severum's Q doesn't really have any damage scaling with AP, you aren't able to effectively use it as a sustain weapon. However, using the Q from Crescendum with Severum in your off-hand applies damage based on 50% of your AP for every attack for the duration, and heals you based on that damage.

Also, I did this testing myself in the practice tool and you can see it in the video. When you have Lich Bane (or any Sheen item), the Spellblade passive is applied by through the off-hand attack. When using Calibrum, right-clicking a marked target will apply the Spellblade passive on the resulting attack, but when using Severum and Infernum it is applied automatically. Crescendum and Gravitum require an additional basic attack after using the ability / placing the turret.

i probably got confused reading the champ in surrender@20

you see garen can function with so much ap simply because the sheen and nashors would do a lot of dmg that scalse off of the ap

if you want to test a champions viability with a build going beyond 500 ap is questionable you also have to consider resists and then calculate cost of build to damage output and consistency if the ap build is completely useless with 1 of the weapons you can see how the build quickly starts becomming a questionable build

currently ive seen the bullet hell ability deal up to 3k dmg with an ad build so it's quite hard to compete with that

I actually really loved seeing him put down 2 turrets around the 20 minute mark. That whole fight looked great, aside from the sona starting it too early.
