AP feels so bad this season.
(Taken directly from my post on General Discussion)
Outside of 
, it just feels really shitty to pick AP champions at the moment. Especially when AD champs are so disgusting right now.
Up against Zed? 
100% counters your possibility of 100-0'ing him in lane.
What do you get in response? 
which just negates a little poke because armor. Nevermind Hexdrinker gives MR to effectively do the same thing PLUS it has the anti-burst shield. The issue is exacerbated when your 2nd item, 
gives nothing but AP, which is a little more damage and waveclear, to an AD's 
which gives damage, armor pen to counter your Armguard, and a passive which helps ADs clear faster as well. Not like Zed needs it though.
No problem. I can just help our jungler pick off theirs.
lolnvm
Maybe I can go top and gank the...
lolnvm
Perhaps I can get the adc...
fucking really?
At least people need me on their team for mixed damage comps...
to add insult to injury you can easily just roll 
and still stack enough armor pen to fuck anyone who tries to say otherwise.
with 
?
well he just hit level 6 and finished 
1300
rito pls...
E could be better than 
as well so, I don't even understand why you would bring it up.
's E at 19-13 seconds)
or come at a cost to the kit (see:
)
the fact that these champs are doing very well in an ad meta tells how how strong they are.
Champs that aren't popular and but win a lot 
Champs that have quietly become overpowered 
is really good right now, I use it against AP and AD mids all the time. Blocks Zed's Ult, ignite, the new AD assassin item, Yas Ult, helps you survive against AP Ultimates...
for flat magic pen. So if you don't have a lot of dot or very low cd poke the passive for 
which all have decent stats beyond just their %arpen and fantastic passives.
and the like. Often the active just screws you over as often as it helps. It is also prohibitively expensive
you ruin everything). AP and AD can both use CDR AP has a little more use for it than ad but in the case of AD VS AP assassins they both use it about the same. That being said AD has a much wider Access to CDR and has it on items that are good beyond just CDR. AP has basically 2 items that you have to use and if you would rather have flat mana as opposed to mana regen then you are shit outta luck when it comes to CDR.
) and better access to cdr for ap fighters and assassins that dont like 
or 
Just to name a few also Malzahar can totally still 100-0% a Zed that has 
to name a few. Some of them might be slightly behind their AD counterparts, but I think it's mostly manaless 
... I think we mostly just need another AP/Armor item to help mages compete with midlane AD assassins and to help AP bruisers/juggernauts itemize. Something else to build out of 
+500 health and super good passives). Then there was the ADC patch where Riot deemed that "AP is a more efficient stat compared to AD" (basically a big fuck you we are making every AP item more expensive)... And on the same patch, every AD item gets buffed. What a surprise AD is stronger than AP omg how did that happened!?
