Dear Riot: AP Juggernauts

Hello! I'm more or less just a casual player 'round Silver MMR, and pretty much just had shower thoughts that resulted in this post, the TL:DR being

TL:DR: AP Juggernauts. Will we see new ones in the future, or other work on AP Juggernauts like itemization?

All the juggernauts except for Mordekaiser seem to be AD, or at least not AP (In the case of Voli and Mundo being 100% tank build). And most of the work on Juggernauts seems to be based on the AD side of them.

Morde seemed to fail more-so because there was so much shit going on at once in his rework with too little development time, rather than the idea of an AP Juggernaut. But with more time you could definitely work out kinks better. For example the time given to Illaoi resulting in a champ in an ok spot, despite what happened to Garen Darius andSkarner when they were reworked.

There does seem like a lot of space for neat things you could do with AP Juggernauts too. Due to weaker AAs (From being an AP), you could add more room for windows of power on a new AP Juggernaut (Which would seem to fix some of the issues people had with playing against Juggernauts). You could also try things like say an AP Juggernaut version of item 3071 .

Not saying you guys need to or should do work on AP Juggernauts, just that there seems to be some interesting factors in that kind of design space. Thanks for reading!

Diana woul make for an interesting ap juggernaut

Sejuani probably the closest to an ap juggernaut, maybe Gragas, too.

To be honest, Illaoi to me should be an AP champion. She's a priestress and she rips out souls and shit. Seems far more magical than physical but it could just be me.

Morde still has an AD scaling on his Q, E and R so he is more or less floating in that hybrid space at the moment.

Would love to see an AP version of Black Cleaver but until then we might just have to settle with item 3091
