AP Assassin Item Idea

Numbers and build and stuff are subject to change.

Build: item 1058 +item 3113 + item 1052 + 565G (Total: 3100G)

Stats: +110 AP, 5% MS

Unique Passive: Bonus MS tripled while out of combat.

Unique Active - Soul Blast: Target Champion gets marked for death for 3 seconds. 20-or-so% of your magic damage against this champion gets converted to true damage (after multipliers). 70 second CD. Range is 250. For context, 250 range is 50 less than Rakan autos.

I think this could be a good item for AP assassins that has a low chance of being abused by mages, mostly because of the range restriction and that it only lasts 3 seconds. My logic to this is that assassins want the roaming power and most, if not all of them have some way to get within melee-ish range to try to assassinate someone, while mages would rather have CDR and risk a lot if they want to use the active. Yeah, it's pretty basic-looking, but it would probably be super effective.

Any thoughts?

Sadly, they might not ever make something like this. Sure, True Damage conversion is far different than the Damage AMP that Deathfire Grasp (ty dfg) gave. Yet I feel like that would be rather strong not just on AP Assassins (Like it's intended to be), but some mages like; Annie Veigar Brand would essentially start nailing people before they have time to react. Veigar actually had to have his Q changed into a Skillshot because he heavily relied on DFG and his winrate plummeted Shortly afterward. As for the Short range & 3 seconds, Annie could hide in a Unwarded bush & just wait for a lowly teemo to walk by before incinerating him in a blink of an eye. Why I listed Brand is I can see some Brands landing a full combo, running up to a target who has his Passive on them, tagging them with the Item's Active just as the passive explodes & watching their targets HP get eviscerated by %Max HP True damage. The thought of this gives me nightmares.

This is actually a pretty good idea, but I would lower AP to 100 just so mages don't even consider building it as a "higher ap" niche item.
