Ap items Are unsatisfying?

- Hey i just bought 1/4 of urf stats, Satisfying - Satisfying - Double your sustain? Satisfying - Turn any low damage, utility ability into 100+, with 10% movement, Satisfying - Ap ashe, Satisfying - Another 3 secs of sustain after my zhonyas? Satisfying Overly satisfying Not satisfied Satisflashing 200+35% ap aoe active, Overly satisfying and underused (easily hits the 400+ damage mark late, and can hit for 2k+ in optimal conditions without using an ability) The most satisfying item in the game

I just dont see it, the fact that rabadons isnt even built anymore is enough evidence for me to show that **ap items are obviously more satisfying than ap itself. **

It's not the items themselves that I find unsatisfying, it's the fact that there's no variety between different classes of ability power scaling champions. I mean why should an assassin like Ekko build the same items as a control mage like Taliyah? It would be like Zed building crit items and Infinity Edge.

AD assassins, auto attackers, bruisers and everything in between have their own forms of itemisation, whereas AP champions usually end up building the same thing (with some exceptions like Lich Bane and Protobelt on Ekko or Nashor's on Kayle/Azir).

No you dont, if you did people would be building these items, people want utility and thats obvious. NOBODY is rushing ap, and its not because the options arent there its because mana, and sustain are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more valuable.

item 3040 item 3029 item 3020 item 3285 item 3135 item 3089

That is plenty of ap to burst any non tank with basically any ap mage, i dont see where more ap is needed.

What i do see is what people actually build

item 3165 item 3157 item 3020

with this start you arent going to one shot anything, and thats ok, because youre not going to be one shot either. And youll actually have the sustain to stay in lane for more than 3 abilities.

utility rules in this meta, and until rabadons offers mana, or a zhonyas active, it will be built less and less.

Also you forgot item 3030 which deals 200+ 35% of your ap, with a 65% slow, to the entire enemy team. A great, underused damage item
