Riot should NOT improve AP itemization (yet)

I didn't say "never improve it". I said don't improve it yet. Gotta see how those new runes land before tossing in item changes.

The boards have, like, multiple hive minds that gel together.

The jugger-boner, the mage-boner, the "Don't ever rework anything" boner, the Yasuo-hate-boner, the marksman-hate-boner...there's a few, but they're consistent and decently easy to recognize.

Keyword: YET

Let those runes land, first, man. I was doing some mental number crunching on the type of power you could get in season 8, and it's pretty ridiculous.

For example.

:

Assuming we're level 18 at somewhere in between 40 and 50 minutes

Ardent = 60 ap

Athene's = 30 + passive (50) = 80 ap

Seraph's = 80 + passive (2506 x .03) = 155 ap

Morello = 100 ap

Overcharger = 40 ap (20 per 10% cdr over cap. We're at 65%)

Gathering Storm = 80 ap @ 40 minutes

Total ap by 40 minutes = 515

And that's with 2 ap support items and one item that doesn't even give ap, period.

Like, with Overcharger, Morello becomes a better stat stick item than even Luden's due to the potential bonus ap you can get from 20% cdr on top of 100 ap. Put these types of things in one at a time.
