it got me thinking
Anyone notice that with each year passing, we have a huge decrease in champions who are viable in both ad and ap style (not hybrid)?
From my opinion a good champion of that type is originally AD but can/might do fun fighting interactions as a full ap with his high ap rates. And high ap rates for AD, riot just doesn't do that anymore. Of the most recent examples, we have two APs that might have worked as AD - I tried
, tahm works good with devourer+hydra but no more than that, ekko is fine with trinity, still both of them cant build full ad and be viable.
And now the list and examples of the ruined and murdered by rito (using my foggy memory):
ADC
: was a thing when she was strong, not viable currently
TOP Ali with sheen, nerfed although was less op than current darius, not viable
a special mention here, when I was a bit noobier than now I used to think that AD style Blitz was viable, on the higher ranked play sadly it is not.
has a choice to go AD but it is never viable as full tank or at least full mpen.
always goes AP, fulltank or Mpen but never AD despite some AD steroids, but I can't comment much here, dont play her
lost identity, full AP never works unless buys tanky rylai zhonya, full AD never works because rito fucked the way stealth works and nerfed her to hell
AD viability brutally lowered
AP killed for real
could go full AP before and be viable, now he can't, but at least he can be AD now with trinity/gauntlet+tanky
another case of steroids for AD and no viability going AD, I think the ratios there are for gunblade only
AP murdered
full AP not viable anymore
AD not viable (thanks rito) (actually nothing is viable for her except jungle AP)
with the removal of DFG AP totally not viable
AP sup thing killed
W 1 ratio to 0.9 = not viable
numerous nerfs to AP style left AP unviable in SR
AP build officially killed
labeled as marksman although ADC Teemo is never viable
AP murdered
have yet to find a viable AP build ~ probably not viable
with the prevalence of new strong ADC, ADC TF became unviable, he was viable a few years ago
it is almost never worth to go Full tiger
where did AP Varus go?
AP lane version is not viable after some nerfs and different itemization
AP is still a thing? dunno
wasted AP potential

Get a few lessons from this, rito, you need more champions that are viable in both full ap and ad, because they're actually fun.
- never forget
