PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AD TO RANGED CHAMPIONS!
Big Lincoln4 votesI'm more interested in starting AP , to be honest
how much of it? will it scale with level?
Ralanr1 votesKinda feels like it's going to be like base AD.
Big Lincoln2 votesimagining AP sterak's with % base AP multiplier
beautiful.. 
Ralanr1 votesThat and steraks.

Dasdi963 votesHow about defensive stats for bruisers/ juggernauts/ tanks? That will help them survive lane poke.

maybe 
are the only ones you need to worry about.
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesWhy exactly. If anything they are the ones who would need it as on average they have lower base ad to start with
Ahristocats4 votesthey have lower base ad for a reason don't youthink?
because they have 550 range, if they had a high base ad laning phase would be impossible against them
and i'ts already the case in duo lane, try to pick anything into a marksmen 2v2
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesThey already have the ability to increase their base ad with runes and masteries, so that's a moot point. If everyone is getting base stat change, mainly to hell early game, then they would need them accordingly
Sir Fuzzi2 votesmaybe their itemization is currently strong in anticipation of changes to come that will in fact weaken their early game objectively
it stings when things Riot does make sense
Mordepool1 votesSeems like a bunch of less popular champions are gonna get shit on
zlumpy1 votesSo if its needed free offensive stats on all...does that mean tanks and utility characters get cooldown reduction? Or do they just go the lazy route and give them free AP/AD depending on their scaling? What about hybrid characters? I know many hybrids are being fazed out, which is really lame, but will they get one stat over the other or just AS?
This really seems like a system that should go on a case by case basis instead of blanket treatments.
KawaiiShroom1 votesWhat why not? it's very hard to cc minions without the starting ad from runes.

playing a melee champion you might get higher base ad. but you have to fight with other bullshit.
like the neccessity to run up to every single minion and losing cs because that half second walking distance was too much to get to a minion in time before he died.
or melee minions straight up walking out of auto attack range and dieing as youre about to lasthit the fucker.
or simply not being able to walk up to a minion in the backline, because it would put you into a shitty position to your opponent.
getting mother fucking minion blocked and missing cs because you have to walk around the entire wave to get to the minion you want to lasthit.
when youre pressured in lane, you also have to walk up further to your opponent to still cs under your turret. ranged champions can just stay way far back out of enemy poke range.
ranged champions think its hard csing for them because they have slightly lower base ad. i promise you, 90% of the time theyre not going to have to deal with the things i just described simply because they dont have to move to switch the target theyre auto attacking.
i think making them have noticably smaller base ad than melee champions and making csing of the minions they can easier reach more difficult as a result is a fair tradeoff.
Meep Man1 votesI'm not sure on starting AP. Might as well just add more to the base kit since adding AP basically just does that. Would only affect those that build Rabadon's, which is basically few and far in between. Starting AP just doesn't seem right. It's like giving bonus AD (not base AD) to an AD champion. Why not just increase their base damages then?
