Melee mage item idea

So I was thinking about how the new ap item is much like a stattik shiv for ap carries, and thought about other ad specific items that could have an equivalent and came to a rough idea.

Spellblade's Echo

  • Builds from Needlessly Large Rod and Stinger + 800g = 3650
  • 50% attack speed, 15% cdr, 70 Ability power +Unique passive Cleave: Basic attacks deal 20% to 40% of total Ability Power as bonus Magical Damage to enemies near the target on hit (enemies closest to the target take the most damage). +UNIQUE ACTIVE – CRESCENT: Deals 40% to 80% of total Ability Power as Magical Damage to nearby enemy units (closest enemies take the most damage) (10 second cooldown). +Only available to Melee champions.

Please give me any feedback on how you think these stats are/ how they should be changed or the gold cost changed.

This was originally an idea for Shaco, but also opens up the window for increased viability for ap versions of Poppy Blitzcrank Gangplank Nautilus Nunu, and so on, while also giving a potential buff to Diana Gragas and Mordekaiser

Basic attacks deal 20% to 40% of total Ability Power

Considering that item 3115 only deals 15%, it's a bit of a balancing issue. If anything, I'd say about 10-15%. Or buff Nashor's Tooth to have that ability for melee champions, while ranged champions would only benefit from the original passive.

My bad, meant to put that as aoe, I mostly copy pasted and changed numbers for hydra, forgot to put all other targets. It would be an item more for the split push/ aoe team fight potential + active rather than a dueling item like nashor's

Will still never be used.

AP itemization is generally too squishy to be constantly applying pressure with auto-attacks

And Diana doesn't need buffs.

or how about a hydra for AP users? but AP instead of AD?
