@Riot: AP Fighter Itemization could be solved by introducing an AP Atmas and a Hextech Titanic
Hi All,
So we all know that AP bruisers/divers/juggernauts are missing out on several damaging items that AD version get. The strength in these items are the fact the scale Passively, that is to say the grow in power over time without requiring further investment in damage items, while the AP variants require further investment in AP.
for example scales of Base AD, meaning that as you level and your base AD increases so does the on hit damage it throws out. Meanwhile it's AP counterpart
relies heavily on you continuing to build AP.
Both
and
scale with HP, meaning that stacking tanky items after building these two allows their damage to scale passively as well, while
also scales on base AD like
.
As a lot of AP items naturally have HP built in, I don't see why the same premise couldn't be used with Atma to allow a similar scaling on Lichbane.
Atma's Reckoning

+ 750 gold 3100 gold 40 Magic Resist 40 Armour 300 HP 50AP Passive: Gain AP equal to 15% of bonus HP.
Melee only
So basically this is an AP version of Steraks. It works on giving Lichbane additional damage scaling off your HP but forgoes the shield in favour of resistances.
Hextech Spellblade
+
+
+ 715 gold 3000 gold 60 AP 500 HP 10% CDR UNIQUE Passive - Cleave: Basic attacks deal 5 + 1% of your maximum health as bonus physical damage to your target and 40 >+ 2.5% of your maximum health as physical damage to other enemies in a cone on hit. UNIQUE Active - Crescent: Cleave damage to all targets is increased to 40 + 10% of your maximum health as bonus physical >damage in a larger cone for your next basic attack (20 second cooldown).
This would be the AP version of Titanic Hydra, giving AP instead of AD and again scaling off HP in the same way.
At this point Lichbane would be giving you base AD scaling, plus AP scaling from Atma's, while Hextech Spellblade would be giving you a cleave in the same way titanic does that scales off HP. None of them have attack speed because they are reletively cheap, though it could be added to either.
A build on Diana for example could look like this: Lichbane, Atma's, Hextech Spellblade, Abyssal Mask, Randuin's Omen, Boots.
At this point Diana is suddenly a Bruiser/Diver like her AD counterparts instead of an assassin. Morde could also benefit from this, as could Elise. It would also open up AP Irelia again without her being essentially an assassin.
Anywho, I see this as the easiest way to allow lichbane to be used in a similar way to Triforce for those that really miss this hole in itemization. Let me know what you think :)
