Uncertain about Riots intent with general hybridness

There hasn't been a champ released that could viably build full AD and full AP since like season 1-2ish, but pre-existing hybrid champions, items and masteries are continually tuned and balanced.

An example would be Corki passive changed to deal half magic dmg, further solidifying his identity as a hybrid.

But then other champs lose there hybrid capabilities(Poppy), and while some items gain more hybridness(item 3124), others lose them completely(olditem 1419 & item 3078)

Id really appriciate some red text giving some clarity on the hybrid aspect of this game, and whether or not we'll ever see a true duel scaling champion again.

P.s. I like hybrids because if you enjoy a certain champ or even main it, but your team lacks a certain type of damage, you can still play the champ you want and only have to adjust your build/playstyle, rather than picking another champion.

Riot found themselves unable to deal with hybrid and balance it. Thats why there are no new hybrid champs, or items. Making a hybrid item that would be balanced in one hybrid champs hands, usually becomes op on other, or even to certain non hybrid champs. The game is shaped in such a way, that its far more productive focusing in one direction, AP or AD and be able to make use of penetration and stacking the given stat. I am also hybrids fan, Evelynn in particular, but i have given up on playing her as pure hybrid in rnaked
