Why is Kai'sa the only ADC that is actually viable with a AP or hybrid build?

Because all of her abilities, particularly her passive, scale with AP?

Well thats kinda my point though. If I build AP Lucian, my ratios suck. If I build AP Ez, my ratios are decent but I can still miss skill shots. When I build AP Kaisa, the damage is reliable with good AP Ratios.

The point I'm getting at is why does riot allow her to be the only ADC that is actually viable with an AP build. What about the other ADCs with AP ratios? Like Lucian? Why are they left in the dark when it come to AP builds. Riot might as well remove those AP ratios if they are not going to make the champ decent if they build AP.

Its fun but you can't carry hard like that. Kaisa is actually viable full AP

You can carry hard with it an arams. W procs liandries + boosted damage from slow, aram is a skinny map, easily hit 2-3 targets/w, ER gives CDR and mana generation. It works very, very well.

Most of these champs except for maybe Varus, can't carry like Kai'sa using an AP.hybrid build. The rest tend to be gimmicky

All of them have viable AP builds that have made it to diamond+, so yes, you can carry as them. Hell, AP mf support is a valid support pick.

Because she is the only one who has been designed with that particular idea in mind?
