Can we get some consistency with how ability scaling is shown?

On PBE right now, Draven's new Q reads "Next attack gains X bonus damage. This bonus is equal to 30 + 65% of his bonus Attack Damage". That's a really nice way to word it. It tells exactly what the scaling is, differentiates between total and bonus AD, and shows the full value right there so we don't have to try to do math while we're playing.

Meanwhile, 99% of other abilities, even those being reworked on PBE alongside Draven's Q, are the same old X (+X) format, showing green for ap scaling (without telling us the actual scaling value) and red for both total AD scaling and bonus AD scaling (telling us neither the actual scaling value, nor the actual stat that is being scaled off of).

Why on earth do we still need to tab out and visit a website in order to see most scaling values? It's [THE_CURRENT_YEAR], I think we're ready to be shown all the relevant information we need in game, rather than just a small, random sampling of it.

You should have been quiet. They like reducing information in tooltips because lots of players are afraid of details. Now that they know a designer got past the Great Wall Of Simplicity, they're going to change it to say "Next attack gains bonus damage. This scales with items you buy."
