Riot, can you please provide an explanation to this?

Why are we getting lower AP totals overall?

Before, we used to be able to reach a good 650+ AP easily.

Now, we are lucky we get like 550 AP.

Is it because of AP ratios?

And in exchange you get more CDR. This means you stay in the fight longer which in turn kinda makes you do more damage if you get off rotations more.

I know this isn't the answer a lot of people wanted to see/hear but i'd much rather less AP while more CDR instead of bursting a whole combo and running away for 15 seconds.

Riot has to be very careful with AP ratios because of the potential multipliers/augmenters in the game.

Rabadons +35% AP Seraphs +60-100AP depending on mana built Red Drakes +8/+16/+24% AP Elder Drake +16/+32/+48% AP depending on Red Drakes Elixir +50 AP Baron +50 AP Runes/Masteries (Removed) Blue Buff +15% AP

As a Sona Mid player, I usually go item 3100 item 3504 item 3285 item 3165 item 3089 item 3135 (never need boots with 3 %MS items and Sona's E MS). I pretty much always hit over 700 AP in the late game, up to around 1000 with the right buffs calculated in.
