Why does Ardent Censer double-dip on increasing heal and shield effectiveness?

I say this because it's the only H&SP item that also gives AP, and guess what stat virtually all enchanter heals and shields scale off of?

It's probably not as egregious as it sounds, but H&SP is still a somewhat problematic stat anyway since most enchanters' numbers weren't balanced around it existing, and other various changes have allowed enchanters access to AP more easily on top of it.

Also an interesting note: Despite all these changes to benefit enchanters, Riot hasn't actually made a brand new pure enchanter since Nami, way back in Preseason 3 (Riot classifies Bard, Rakan, and Ivern as catchers rather than enchanters).

bard is not an enchanter, i'd classify rakan and ivern as enchanters cause they both have stupid shields and rakan has a heal, but have lots of pick potential so i can see why they're classifed as catchers

so it fits more champs and is stronger on a few.
