Why don't AP champs naturally get ability power as they level up?
Vayne gets 28 AD as she levels. Ashe gets 38. Cait gets 37. So ADCs get between 3 and 4 longswords for free just from leveling.
Contrast that with a champ like Ahri who needs AP. She gets 0 base and 0 from leveling. This seems like something you guys could do in the mid year update considering Zhonya's is losing 30 AP.
Abyssphere2 votesWhy it was like that in the first place is a good question, why it's still like that now is because there wouldn't really be any point in doing it. They could give mages base AP and AP per level but they'd just lower ratios/item AP across the board in exchange. It's easier to just use items to balance AP numbers.
