The state of AP

AP is supposed to be less expensive than AD AD champion starts with base AD... we start with zero AP all champions gain AD per lvl.. we dont gain AP per lvl

champion now gain MR per lvl (i think this was a great change, but it still make ap itemization even worse) blue buff used to give more ap... now its doesn't (or rather magus) used to give 80 AP (because they took it away when they gave bluff buff ap)

used to give 120 ap and have a 60 second cooldown yet AD only had TWO items to beat it in / and / (BOTH of which have actives at half completion) now AD have (which we also LOST) and we LOSE abyssal scepter to get a to rival out

had 100 AP and 400 HP which is now gutted because it was broken for the champion who could turn was was deigned to be a 1.5 second slow into a permanent slow, and instead of giving it an internal cooldown so they couldn't abuse it.. they screw over everyone to make it worthless for anyone who DIDN'T abuse it

and pretty much every other ap item we have is gated by some means

are great in their right, however they are late game items in a meta with no late game... works becuase of the mana refund so even giving no AP it wise fantasictic, but i feel the rest of the build could be tweaked a little to make it more useful for , but at least you can gain stacks with just is also fantastic state wise.. but the fact that the scaling only starts AFTER you complete the item and not at a partial item like has makes it even worse off than . completely limiting it to those would would build it first item anyways is trash on every ap except arguably 3 is great passive wise.. but we dont need and AD on it which make it inefficient for non hybrid champions is great for the champions that can use it.. but that isn't everyone 's price is absurd... again.. that's pretty damn niche

i mean is FANTASTIC for ap assassins was SUPPOSED to be on champions with CC but since it is the ONLY viable AP+ HP option NOT gated by a passive that isn't completely worthless because almost every champion in the game has SOME sort of CC. its pretty much the only AP + HP option

is also good but it also overlaps in the passive, (which wouldn't be so bad if runic wasn't only 60 AP) is still good

we NEED some AP+ HP option with AREN'T gated by a passive only a few champions can use.. we NEED more AP + armor..

and we NEED a higher AP on pretty much EVERY ap item.

and ap item should by default at LEAST have TWENTY more AP than AD because of 5 slots (not counting boots as 6th) and every AD champion has at least 100 AS from BASE ad and scaling alone... while we start at zero and get no ap per lvl. so to even be EVEN with that we need a base 20 more AP on every AD to AP equivalent item
