I think Riot forgot that AP is suposed to be a cheaper stat than AD
AD items are completely Outclassing AP items right now.. IE better than Rabadon by a mile Trinity force and duskblade are so much better than LichBane By a mile.
Its really lame as a AP champion when your best bet is rush either Magic Pen Items only and try snowball with base dmg vs the AD opponent to get item advantage or go for a ton of CDR and hope to kite them.
The best item with Ap right now is Gunblade in its own division and theres too many wasted stats that most AP champions cant build it and also cant afford to place this item in their inventory..
I remember when you could easily have 2 times more AP than AD Late game With Rabadon and a full AP build but now since rabadon is sooooo expensive its soo hard to build and you need too much items to do damage late game with all the retarded ad items they added and buffed over the time..
Im not talking about ad champs like zed or jhin who have more ad than i have ap late game im talking about pretty much every AD champions who have more AD than i have AP at 5 items if i go for a build like
And the people who are going to tell me (But you have UTILITY with those items)
.
So does

You even Rush IE on a ton of ADCs now even when its suposed to be an item you get a bit later to make it more cost efficient with its passive..
Do you know anybody who goes Rabadon First item? NO because its dog shit but at the same time you NEED that item late game
Right now on
i go a build like
I Get rabadon 3rd almost all of my games despite mr or not because i know its gonna be too hard to build that item past 3 items..
then last item is something with heavy cdr because you also NEED to Cap Cdr late game on a ap champion

Riot balance team must probably not play many AP champions because its just lame to be at 4 items without rabadon and trying to build it and even when you have a largerod in your inventory you need 2550 gold to build it.... thats 2 more largerod...
Remember the TSM VS C9 Spring Final?
Jensen was playing
late game he had no rabadon at 4 items he was building it 5th item he was sitting with a largerod but had 2k+ gold still he couldnt buy the rabadon because the item is way too fuking expensive so he brought a ludens since it was the most expensive ap item he could buy.
He spent almost 2k gold for 40 more ap and a discount duskblade passive resulting in him not having enough AP late game for his spells to work properly at that stage so his shield was way too low than he trought it would be and he got insta killed trough his shield.
I really hope Riot looks into AP Items after all the change they are doing with MR Buffs AD items Buffs Nerfing everything Ability Power Related I mean stuff like cassio are building tank items now like comon wtf is that?
All im saying is that they should probably increase the AP value only on some items and make Rabadon a bit cheaper to compete with all the ad items we have right now.
Tell me what you think.
and not buff garbage items
then say it's balance. Rylais was overnerfed, and Ludens is suuuuch a bad item. Some may argue that it does AOE damage, but most of the time when it procs, it's hitting 2 tanks and one squishy, and those tanks aren't gonna feel that weak shit. Plus Riot also buffed MR across the board on squishies. That's like nerf after nerf after nerf on AP overall, without one SINGLE buff. And I don't recall AP being that OP to begin with.
are two items which are very common pickups and also extremely gold efficient. In point of fact, I think Morello's is actually a little too powerful and could be tweaked down a bit.
, and
are all incredibly efficient and powerful items - if your champion actually builds them. And in the case of
.
?
AD. Boom - full AP team, dosent matter if hes an AP champ.
